Red Brake Caliper Covers
 
What are some peoples thoughts? I found some but they are running for $130+

Does anyone know any cheaper alternatives?

Caliper covers? You mean those plastic things to make your sliding calipers look like they are monobloc calipers?

No. Nonono. Nononononono.

I bought them just to test them out on how the red caliper would look on a white car with a black wheels....never put them on permanently tho

Please no. Step away from from the fake covers. Paint then if you want the look but don't put obviously fake covers on them that will probably make them hotter and perform worse.

What's next a Blow Off Valve sound generator?

Please don't..

Well it is your money and your car, and if it floats your boat, but that looks tacky af

Please don't paint 2 piece calipers. But if you do, brown.

Get the Subaru 4 pot front 2 pot rear. Each caliper is about $100 each refurbished on ebay. Plus they have the shaved side so they will not say subaru. Paint those red instead. The front is a direct replacment of our caliper. No need to upgrade rotors (if you dont need to) and the rear is a direct replacement with use of a $250 bracket from kartboy. So you can have the look of a big brake kit for about 650 bucks. After $40 paint and some scion decals for the calipers (if you choose) say $700. Not bad considering the cheapest big brake kit for the FRS is $1500 brand new just for the front. (Wilwood)
