Rear Caliper Covers

I was browsing through some car sites and noticed that Speed Specialty is offering these covers....thought they looked pretty good:

Um... you could always just paint the calipers. And that wouldnt' cost $120.

I just don't see someone paying $120 for something like that.

The man is making a point that the painted calipers are cool, but these covers are SMOOTH Oye.

I wouldn't pay $120 for some sheet metal, but it looks cool.

I do agree that they cost too much...just thought they looked cool. Its always nice to see new stuff coming out for our cars at any rate.

My calipers are already red, but I don't want them red.....and I just haven't had time to do anything about it. The covers looked like an easy, if expensive, alternative to jacking up the car, taking off the wheels, and messing with the calipers.....
