Painted calipers or Brembo Caliper covers?

[MercNasty]

This weekend i will be doing 1 of 2 things, either paint my stock calipers black or order the brembo caliper covers that im not even sure will fit on the car since there isnt a 1 inch space between the caliper and wheel in the front. I cant afford to pay for a brake upgrade as i am saving up for the eaton swap. Please give me your opinions on this. The caliper covers look good and arent that expensive, see the link below for the covers, I really liked Tbone painted calipers though.

Im deffinitly interested in the covers too, Let me know how it works out for you, I think the clearance might be the problem

Save your money and go to your local parts store and buy the caliper paint kit for around 20 bucks and paint them yourself (I like RED). Save to $$$ for the Heaton swap.

What's a "Heaton" and how do you swap it?

slang for an eaton m112 because its a big ass heat pump.

i used the g2 kit on my brakes and it looks sweet.

Thanks guys, looks like i will be painting them.

Notice they have NO pictures of them on ANY car (other than the crappy far off yellow pic)?!?

[MercNasty]

yea I used the G2 kit recommended by Impalaslayer

Nice bling. They also sell dice for the rear view mirror & lepard skin seat covers. They will make you think you car stops faster like a clean car drivers better. Go with the G2 paint kit. Save you money for you Heaton conversion.

I have seen the covers on a mustang and from a distance they look alright, up close they really look fake. Caliper paint is the way to go.
I prefer red on a black car.

A word to the wise.

If you plan on going S/C I would STRONGLY RECCOMEND a brake upgrade!

Don't waste your time & money on fake covers, get some BIG BRAKES!

Good luck.

Too many people have the red painted calipers on the black MM so I went with black doesnt stand out as much as the red ones would but black works for me.
