Racing Brake Caliper Covers Review
Maybe you bought the fake turbo sound kit I wrote about some time ago, and now you’re looking to boost the perceived “performance” of your cheap riced-out Hyundai Tiburon. What next, though? How about some fancy looking racing brakes without the painful pricetag!
Nearly every auto manufacturer has a performance model in their line-up. It might be the BMW M series, Lexus IS F, Acura Type-S, or Mercedes AMG lineup. These cars have incredible performance, huge engines, and massive prices to match! They’re loaded with turbos, body kits, and everything else to make them look the part and perform as well.
However, if you’re on a budget and trying to get your base-model Tiburon to fool the other rice-racers at the local Saturday night hang-out, you certainly cannot afford the $50K+ cost of a new car, so you’re stuck upgrading your existing ride. Maybe a whale tail, huge racing stripe down the ugly metallic orange paint, fancy spinning rims, fake turbo sound kit, and of course, the huge coffee-can fart cannon muffler tip. It looks good, in your own opinion, but there’s still something missing. OH YEAH! It’s the red colored brake calipers that you see on the real racing cars.
Oh, bummer - those cost a pile of cash. There’s no way you’ll be able to buy those with even two fast food jobs! Well, the rest of the car is fake, all the way down to the “AMG type-S” sticker, so why not get some fake Brembo type brakes as well?
Here’s your answer: caliper covers. These wonders of modern technology install with adhesive right over the top of your existing ugly, rusting calipers and make them look just like Brembos. Awesome! And, they’re much cheaper at only $50-150 for a set, so you should be reaching for your wallet fast and furiously to get these!

As a first step of the Mercedes C 300 I was impressed by his style and quality visible
I suggest to anyone who will buy these cars, read my review. It saves a headache.
I had a 2005 Infiniti G35 that I switched on when the lease. Already a good car. As a first step of the Mercedes C 300 I was impressed by his style and quality visible. In consultation with the Infiniti. Some have found and the smallest engine is enough to move, but not even close to the engine of the G35. The seller told me about a small engines, because he claimed that was far better than the gas-C350. At the time premium gas (which requires MB) $ 3.30/gal as effectiveness was a concern. The options beautiful, but expensive if you are not careful enough. I update the largest AMG wheels that the car looks fantastic, but the quality of performance suffers a bit. “He got manipulation as a better brakes. All seats around its excellent. The nav system takes time to get used to, but it’s ok. Not the most logical, but the work.
I think the quality poor. Interior cheap plastic and mounted. Noise levels increasing each day. The passenger handle not close properly and is still in the open position. Drivers belts withdraw not withdraw. Environment lighting works half the time. The fuel gauge is about as accurate as the weather. The change in the transmission speed is so loose that it feels like a Hyundai. The transmission slips sometimes. The tribe needs a powerful slam the closure. The traction control was published last week and I continue to be repaired. And the list goes on and on.
