Wouldn't be bad in complete black to hide/subdue our smallish brakes. The company (MGP) argues that it reduces brake dust and helps reduce heat from brakes. I think their argument is flawed, as covering your brakes would probably increase brake temperatures. I guess a pro is that you can remove them and have stock looking brakes.

Hide the small brakes? These makes the rotors look even smaller!

There's a corvette in my neighborhood with them, from a good distance it doesn't look too bad but if you get anywhere near it, it looks so awful and cheesy.

I'd buy steelies and put hubcaps on them before I'd install caliper covers.

Fake = rice. Form over function is a no-no.

I have seen these on Audis, and I laughed. It was more tasteful, just had the S4 logo on it. Still completely useless.

HELL NO.

They are made of aluminum and seem to mount right by the rear pad. I guess they could act like a heat sink and reduce temps a bit. That's not reason enough to bolt this garbage to an innocent car.
