Well, just like adding an AMG badge will instantly give you another 50HP, I'm sure that adding those covers will cut your 60-0 stopping distance in half.

Nothing beats cost-effective mods like that in a terrible economy.

hahahhahahaha- you remember my post about the civic in my area eh?

essentially this would be a more cost effective mod for a lot of the non-amg users who are always looking for 64 pot calipers or something of the sort...not like our cars are fast enough to need the extra braking anyway. this way you have the look, but not the extra weight of larger rotors and calipers

Now it would be nice if there is a cover for my car to look like the SLR. That's what I would call a cheap SLR. lol

Actually I wish I had something like that for the rear calipers, to make them match my AMG fronts....but I wouldn't pay what they are asking...
