I've never heard of this product before. It will stand up to the heat?

each caliper uses about 1ft x 1ft . i haven't done the back brakes . not sure if I'm going to but i get nothing but compliments. And painting them is a pain especially with a lease

I like how it appears to "glow" in your last picture RayG! I wish that it would light up like that at night, that would be awesome, haha.

Cool. Has the look of powder coating at 1/4 the cost. Now I must find someone in Houston to install this.

Looks great, I'm tempted... How long did it take you to install? The video makes it look easy.

install took about 30 min each brake we kinda heated and stretched it to much . thought it had to go on tight. going to re due them due to tiny tears . will post more pics next week
