Don't get those man. Your brakes will get too hot because heat will build up.

you mean building heat too much because of the cover or the heat r too much for the cover to withstand it?

Heat buildup is bad, so I wouldn't do it.

+1 Don't do it. You'll be laughed at for starters and they will probably melt on your first canyon run.

You must not be following the trend of answers. Nobody likes them so why would they try it?

See guys, that's the problems.How could you say anything when you don't even know or tried it. I could live with the paint but I was not very impress with bumpy look of the paint neither power coating (personally saw it myself) its gave you the color look but not that smooth look.

You must be very careful with this technology. If you put a left sticker on the right, your car could lock-up and spin on its axis the first time you brake hard.

lol... Perhaps I could add an AMG badge on to counteract the spin. Then I'll rock a fake Rolex to keep the car even more centered.





To the OP - seriously if you want to look like a poser with fake Brembo caliper covers by all means - it's your car. You can do anything you like with it. I guarantee that if I ever saw a car with those fake plastic caliper covers I would snap a pic and post for all to ridicule.

If you just want colored calipers - go ahead and get them powder coated. Just grind them down beforehand if you want to avoid the "bumpy" look.

WHY OH WHY DON'T PEOPLE GET IT?!?! you saved enough to buy a Benz save another 3 grand and get REAL brembos or AMGs. What's next, a carbon fiber wing and some limo tint?

p.s. i think painting the calipers looks pretty bad too...why draw attention to that small *** ugly factory caliper? tough it out, keep your car nice and clean and detailed till then...and then enjoy the satisfaction of having a real BBK which not many people have..making your car a step above most, not 5000000 steps below with that fake ****

You can even just buy the E500 calipers, have them painted and put those on. They don't cost that much.
