They're really expensive so Im wondering if they serve some type of purpose. I have seen them on riced out cars but I cant imagine some high school kid paying $200+ for these things.

I'm sorry... what are you talking about? Are these brake caliper covers? If you see these in public, please take a hammer and bust out every window on their car.

Good LORD no.







What a great way to overheat a nice set of brake pads.

^^ stupid in all points,shapes, and forms



if it was a SHOW CAR it would probably have actual BRAND NAME calipers instead of some plastic bullshit



at the very least the stock calipers would be painted, hell i went to a show and saw a rsx with GOLD PLATED calipers



for 200 bux you can probably all 4 calipers powdercoated..that is if you know how to take apart and rebuild a caliper

The ones that the little riced out honda civics have are probably $10 specials from Pep Boys. They're not $200 like what KAI sells them for.



1. Its a rip off

2. Its gay!

3. You will be mocked mercifully if you get them

4. You will be laughed at

5. Its gay!

6. They serve no purpose other than making your car appear stupid

7. You can actually mess up your brakes if you install them

8. Its gay!

It's a way to express one's sexual orientation.
