If I didn't have "brembo" decal up front, I agree.

"Way to revive such an old thread wusty!"

Now that that's out of the way, can someone comment on what caliper cover this is specifically? I recently snagged some Brembos and knuckles from the junk yard that came from a unicorn Type-S and I'm planning for future projects. I actually don't hate the look of these fake caliper covers. It makes me want to remove my RDX covers.

Wow way to revive--- just kidding.

Unfortunately, I doubt you'll have much luck from this since the OP said they were purchased about 6 years ago. On ebay, there seem to be limited runs of these cheapo-china parts. Definitely noticeable when there's actual links to these parts in older threads, only to find yourself at a dead page, with the original seller long defunct. I tried searching through ebay for something similar, but I couldn't find anything that remotely resembled the covers in the quoted pic.

Hopefully I'm proven wrong and someone shows up and provides a link, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'm a big fan of my "covers"



But I'm also biased

@wusty23jd @TheSauceBoss

Funny you asked about this...after this set of pics I sold the car to a buddy and bought it back a few years back then resold it again.
Oddly enough I could NOT find the damn ebay covers...I ended up redoing my old ones and my buddy ebelp sent me his last set of ebay covers.
They used to be so cheap too...I wish I had bought a few to store but I had no idea I'd be revisiting the 3G at the time. Now I just settled on painting the stock caliper to match
the color on the front brembo.

Although unfortunate, I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who couldn't find similar replicas online. I only spent 15 minutes or so searching, but it became evident rather quickly that my searches weren't going to yield quality results.

My project list just gets longer and longer every time I log into this stupid forum lol.

Dude...the only ones I found were sets of 4 for dodge challengers...the retardedly fake looking huge ones that mimic a BBK I've never seen in my lifetime. Hard pass.
