Re: Brake Caliper Covers
DavidA, You are absolutely right, I think they're just a gimic that serves no real purpose. And when you have to start adding spacers behind you wheels and worry that your lug nuts are torqued properly and will still hold the wheel on safely, that was it. I think if you want some color, painting is the best way to go. My calipers are Red, but I didn't do it, it's hard to see them with 16 spoke wheels unless you really look and Tbird logo would be very hard to see. They've been painted for the last 4 years or more and still look as Red as ever with no signs of discoloring from heat or anything and no peeling. I would've never done it but since it's allready been done I'm going to see if I can put a fresh coat of Red on them when I get new tires this Spring. I'm shopping for Red Lines. Leroy
