Caliper cover?
Okkkkay so basically my cars a lease, and I dont want to paint my calipers i think it would be a pain in the a$$. Anyways i was just messing around on the internet and i found Brembo Brake caliper Covers? What you guys think? And they do make these without a brembo logo Im not asking to have "wanna be brembos" Just the idea of a brake caliper cover rather than paint.

First off...these are NOT made by Brembos. These are cheap plastic pieces that some guy printed out Brembo stickers and slapped on. Not only are these extremely cheesy lame, they can present a very real danger associated with these. They say it won't effect heat dissipation, but I'm going to call BS on that.
Please don't put this on....almost as bad as AMG badges.

I was pretty sure you knew they weren't Brembo, but wanted to make sure any newbie reading this post understands that as well cause it could be misleading when you said Brembo Brake Caliper Covers.
Caliper covers are covered fairly extensively on multiple forums for all makes and are pretty much universally laughed at. Fair warning :p
I understand your concern about it being a lease, but covers are not a good way to get around it. You might be better off painting, and asking someone to swap calipers when you return the lease.

And sorry, it's late and after rereading my post, I was a little terse and a-hole-ish. I'm going to blame it on being a new BMW owner now lol. Now excuse me while I put on my oakley, bluetooth earphone, and pop my collar

Body kit should arrive stateside from Germany in 2 more weeks. Just secured sponsorship with DTM Autobody to take care of all my paint, bodywork, and install. Guess I'm sporting more stickers lol.

The covers are molded from fiberglass. They attach by applying a very strong (and messy) black silicone. If you install, it will leave a huge mess when you remove them.
My advise- Don't do it.
