I bought them to protect my new wheels from break dust & as long as it gets the job done I don't really care what people think.

If you are that worried about brake dust (when they dust that means your pads are doing their job.......) then why not buy different brake pads? They make plenty of aftermarket pads that cut down on dust. This will however cost you performance but so does your fake BBKs covers as they trap heat which induces fade during braking.

I implore everyone, stop this madness with the caliper covers. It's a complete waste of money and nobody thinks they are cool.

Not attacking you, your car, do as you please, but can you honestly say that those plastic covers really do cut down on dust?

Thanks, thought so. Again, not my money or car, but if you want the "powered by eBay Performance" look, plenty of Civics around to buy and "mod" to taste.

By the way, plenty of 1LE/ZL1 guys upgrade their brake systems around here. If you want a nice looking setup at very cheap prices, keep an eye on the member classified section and do a real upgrade. Just my opinion.

I just realized you guys are mistaken me with the OP lol, I'm gonna answer your question anyway.

Even if the break covers do not work as I expected, On due time I'm gonna upgrade my brake system & I'm gonna get rid of them because believe it or not
there will always be someone willing to buy this covers for a good price.

Not every one hates them or think they are worthless like you, I'm not trying to get into an argument or convince you otherwise.
So this will be my last post on this thread.

Because you are a poseur and are tying to fake the funk (not attacking you personally, but caliper covers give that vibe). What next, a fake coach bag, a interfooler, etc.?

The fact that you think that people want your worthless covers shows how flawed your thinking is because even you know deep down what you are doing is rice (hence the reason you want to upgrade).

So this will be my last post on this thread.

and there in lies the problem because this should have never been a viable option to camaro guys or any enthusiast for that matter as they are one of the top 5 riciest mods you can do to a performance vehicle. I'm just trying to say that there is no reason to waste your hard earned money on this nugatory mod. Please heed this advice and burn those caliper covers as soon as you can. Thank you.

Hey I just want to apologize for my last post specifically about this :

It was an incomplete sentence what I meant was " like you think they are."

I was gonna edit my post but this guy replied before I had a chance to do it.
