2-3k? I paid 8k for my upgrade (if the missus is reading, that was 3k, I'm just exageratting for the guys)
I can see the attraction in making your car look a bit different from the norm by having a bit of bling around your wheels, but I feel you'd be destroying the spirit behind personalizing your car, because your cheapening it with mock-ups instead of the real thing. And seriously, if you've already put some time and effort into making your car gleam like I see in your avatar, I don't think you'd be truly happy cruising in those cheap things.

At least that's my 2 cents

Although the actual idea of them is gay. I think they look alright in real life.

I mean seriously, who is going to know you are using shitty covers when cruising along the freeway at 100 km/h. It will just look like you actually have spent the big bucks

Can you tell the difference...

They in now way actually look like brembo brakes though?
They're way too small. And you can see the brake caliper from under them...

Its like wearing a muscle shirt...
The only people that will think it looks good are total retards.

Also they wont cause your brakes to over heat and fall off. They might Melt, but thats about it.

But the majority of people have no real idea what size/shape brembo brakes are. So to them it will look expensive

You can be assured you will attract some unwanted attention from bogans driving around in their skylines cause you have drift spec brakes now

I agree with you about the brake covers, but does the above also apply to all the SS/Clubby/HSV body-kitted Executives? :bomb:
