And get some of that fringe stuff to hang from the leading edge of the headliner.

Re: Anyone running these?

Been discussed a few times before. Either paint your calipers or get a real big brake kit.

Not these again!

Just paint your stockers and save some money.

Re: Anyone running these?

Re: Anyone running these?

I never cared for them. The brakes shouldn't draw to much attention. The tires and wheels should. Just my opinion.

I was plannin on doing the Bullitt front calipers and drilled slotted rotors, but thought if these looked clean and not superghey they would save me a ton of cash.

but i found some Good paint and some MACH 1 decals on Ebay that are made for going on calipers.

Re: Anyone running these?

i just cant justify paying 200 bucks for them... if its your thing than find a used set for half that. My mach came with them on and i just never got around to takin them off and painting the calipers. When i do I will sell them but unfortunately they are red. One thing i do have to say is they are great at blocking brake dust. My wheels are always clean. So if someone isnt a huge fan of their look but wants brake dust eliminated than go black b/c you surely wont notice the covers as much
