I have a hard time with it, to be honest...in theory I totally agree with you guys. But once I ignore the idea that the rears are covers, aesthetically, it's hard to argue with the fact that they look very clean and kinda "complete" the BBK look on the car.

Then again, I tend to feel a certain way and change my mind down the line.

they're just covers.

intended to "cover" the existing hardware for aesthetic reasons.
as long as you dont go touting that you have the real thing.

which no one online publicly has.
maybe IRL some dummies do lie, but as long as its acknowledged its a cover, its all gravy

Does everyone with the rear brembo covers still have the brembo logos on them?

I mean, if they're just covers...

i accentuated the brembo logo on my fake covers on the rear...

but i agree with J, when people ask me about it and then i tell them they're just covers i get a "wtf" look and they usually turn around and walk the other way. i cry a little inside each time.

Well y'all know my stance. Especially you select few.

But as long as you're happy that's all that matters.

I don't know why the car didn't just come with them...

lol aaron...know dat feel bro

The rear ones that Aaron, Steven and I have all come with the Brembo logo already on them... it's embossed/raised up a little already if i'm not mistaken.

I actually think the 'single-pot' cover looks better, but I couldn't figure out how to secure mine well, and they fell off when I tried. Good job Wojo!

Stop drinking that haterade

I'm considering RDX caliper covers for my soon to be 2008 Type S.

What year RDX covers do I need to look into? Also considering Brembo to match front.

Thanks
