'08 TL Brembo upgrade costs?

So ive seen a few brembo set ups on the 04-08 TL (base+Navi) and i like the finishing touch that it gives the car. Then i go on ebay and they are selling "Brembo" caliper covers that you glue on for like $39 plus S$H. Has anybody tried these glue on covers? Im sure the original brembo set up is probably $$$

Ok, I'm going to try to be nice here since you're new, but most will probably bash you right away. Obviously a real Brembo setup is not going to be cheap, but PLEASE don't put the caliper covers on the car. If you must dress up the stock brakes, look into getting the RDX caliper covers and paint them a non flashy color. The stock brakes are really nothing to show off so why draw attention to them and false advertise by add something so cheap like the Brembo covers?
The only time I would warrant the use of these covers is if you owned at TL-S which has the real Brembo brakes up front and you wanted to dress up the rear to match. Even then a lot of people here would not agree with that, but hey, who is REALLY going to spend the money for real rear Brembo brakes when your fronts do 95% of the stopping of the vehicle.
Also please use try and use the search function as this topic has been covered a lot already and you can see some of the flack that previous thread starters have received for trying to put these on their car.
