Question Fake it till you make it?? (Caliper Covers)
Saw this and wondered if there would be interest.

The look of Rotora or Brembo without the cost...

Will they fit?

and it's false advertising, they covered the logos because the "After" pics are actual BBK calipers, not the covers. Just paint your calipers gloss black or silver to hide the rust, thats just as impressive and not so fake.

Make sure you get the fake FMIC too. It's free this month when you buy 4 caliper covers.

Was merely tossing something out there that I came across on the web. I can afford the real thing...trust me.

To those submitting "gay" comments...Relax jag-offs. If you don't like it, just say so, or better yet...stfu and move to the next post.

He needs to work on his delivery. No where did he ever say it was a joke. He even asked if they would fit.

Saw this and wondered if there would be interest.

Seems to be a useless accessory that would be bound for issues.
I'm sure these things would come loose,vibrate,make noise after awhile,If not right away.
I would'nt want to be behind the jack ass on the highway that didn't mount them correctly,thats for sure.

Paint will probably be the very last thing I do. I still need to install ALL my parts...headers, CAI, SC, 19's and still need to pick up coilovers. Want to get all the mechanicals straight first...then will move to pure cosmetics.

Will try to take some good pics of the damage so that you guys can see.

Other than that nothing wrong (ticking solenoid aside).

quick question: does anyone else have a slight grinding sound from under the hood when they turn their car off?

ticking sound is likey the evap solenoid (or if you got a comptech stb, make sure the solenoid right above the brake booster, is not hitting anything, mine did that when i put in the bar, then i noticed it like a month later )


and grinding noise???, do you mean a sucking/vacuum sound, if so perfectly normal
but anyways it might be a bearing or such going out on the t/belt or d/belts, which gets noisy when it slows down such as shutting off the car idk
