Default I have a confession....

...a few weeks ago i bought a set of caliper covers....these ones...



fp.gif for my self

I decided to install them today...i went out and bought some high heat adhesive, along with break cleaner...i then took off my wheels...looked at the calipers...then the covers...then the calipers...then the covers...and then just thought to my self...."what the heck am i doing...." lol

i decided to just paint my calipers red, and toss the covers in the trash...what a waste.....

seriously...i dont know what i was thinking clicking "buy it now" on ebay...but these things are a 1 way ticket to destroying your car...

i know there has to be someone else out there like me who was very close to buying a set..or maybe someone even installed them...or any other "ricer" mods...

anyone have any similar stories?
lol
