Brake Caliper Covers - what size?
I'm not a racer by any means, I just really like the look of the red brake calipers a lot of porsche's have. Anyone know if these knockoff brembo cover's will fit a 2002 sc430? If not, can someone recommend an alternative to achieve the same effect? I have aftermarket 18" rims if it makes a difference. thanks!
This one on ebay is sized as: (230mm and 185mm 3D Series)

Brembo caliper covers
I had great success with these plastic covers on 18" tourmaline rims and have been in place for 4 years now. I had to slighly cut the plastic with a hacksaw to fit. I found them on Ebay. I think they look great and were very easy to install and cost around $30 for all 4 if I remember right.

Two options - paint the calipers yourself with the kits (catalyzed paints) made for this purpose. Requires removal, meticulous de-greasing. Or, these covers.
I haven't done either. What are the pros- cons of each approach?? The plastic covers look easy, but do they hold up?

Doesn't the paint end up fading after a while whereas the covers wud last a lot longer. I wouldn't get brembo brake covers tho. I wud jus get a regular cover from MGP.

Man it's amazing how everyone has something bad to say about the caliper covers. If you pay $4500 to $8500 they cost people would say your stupid you paid to much. When in fact 1/3 of the people criticizing the covers don't use premium gas in their car because it cost to much or they go to Buy a shirt and get a oil change places when you should go the an authorized Lexus dealer. My feeling if you like it on your Lex I love it.
