I have the rdx covers and I will be soon switching to the small brembo covers.

And yes steven I thought I was the only OCD one that positioned the center caps to the valve stem.

Jeff, I'm currently in the process too...I'm deciding if it's easier to mount the covers to the rdx covers or to just figure out a way to screw them directly to the caliper

2 pot brembo covers for me too...is there any actual write up on a proper install that won't have them suffer the same fate as McCollins'?

Hopefully Ebelp will chime in, he had his own method. I plan to install either this weekend or next and I'll probably come up with a way to make them permanent but easily removable.

J strikes again. I'll keep an eye out for that, thanks Jeremy. You're doing the small covers right?

yes sir...the 2 pot look alikes. They are not overstated and don't compete with the fronts.

My thoughts exactly. I just ordered the same ones this morning, so I'll be following your directions when I go to put mine on.

Well in that case, I plan to PURPOSELY mislead you.

"okay Kurt...NOW you're going to want to take the astroglide and toothbrush mixture and apply quite liberally..."

You do that, I guarantee your caliper covers won't really matter anymore. RESULT! (got that from Wheeler Dealers on Velocity)
