This is more understandable. For $30 its worth trying it out. For $180, you might as well buy real bbk's

What I meant was, its not worth $180. You might as well pay extra for real bbk upgrades.

I checked the reviews and there were no long term reviews.
I wonder how well this part will hold up to wear and tear.
My main concern will be safety since the part has the potential to come loose and cause problems.
For those that are going to purchase this, please post pics so we can see how the part actually attaches to the caliper.

This thread is so full of hilariousness.

It sure sucks that the entry price of the 2gs these days has began to send it downhill so fast. It is such a great platform to work with, but now I'm starting to want to just get rid of mine.

I like this quote
("Seriously it is invented to prolong your caliper life time from rusty and dusty." )


Ok, but what do you do when these covers get rusty and dusty???? Then you have to buy another cover to cover your cover.

OP whats up with you trying to go with all this cheap crap on you Lex. I paid 120 for my LS4 BBK calipers shipped and they look a million times better than these covers and are actually functional.

Still got to get some new rotors and rca's but this is a much better way to go.

man i think you kind of have a ricer taste lol. those head lights and this is a no no.i used to be like that though (8 years ago) when i was young, but after looking around, i learned how a car can be nice and clean without spending the money on craps like this. you can put that money somewhere else and make your car look newer.
