Just browsing ebay to see if there were deals on a set of PCCBs....

This is what I came across:

"$39. Easy do it yourself. Why go to the trouble of painting your calipers when you can get the exact same look for a fraction of the cost?"

There were even customer testimonials.....so there ARE people out there who
would do it...to each their own.

The sad thing is that they will likely sell a ton of these. Pretty soon we'll see Hondas and Toyotas with Porsche caliper covers.

It's a lot cheaper than PCCBs

Or for track guys, Brembos might be a better choice:

Or the ultimate for endurance racing, the Brembo GT-R brakes!

No silly... You get brake pad covers as well, along with genuine faux braided stainless hose covers for your rubber lines.

I found a fella who was interested in getting these. He PM'd me his body kit and asked if it looked good.
