That is funny -- but doesn't surprise me. I can see alot of Ricers doing this type of stuff.

It isn't false advertisement -- It is just giving the 'appearance' of larger brake calipers. By glueing on (covers) so to speak. Funny stuff.

In reality though, they may actually serve as a slight brake dust shield .. =)

Where can I order again?!!

Oh man I can't wait to see someone get the fake rotors without a fake caliper attached.
"Check out my new slotted rotors!"

Lol for a second I thought they expected you to have those rotor covers and no caliper attached.

Well it's an upgrade so you could cheap out and not get the fake caliper.

In theory you could still attach the fake caliper to the real one. Would probably require some creativity, but would be doable. But that's an awful lot of work to look like a douche....

Two separate products.
BFK (Big Fake Kit): caliper cap that goes around actual caliper to clamp down on stock rotors.

Slotted Rotors: plastic thing that goes between real rotor and wheel. Looks like it spins along with the wheels.
Slotted Rotor with BFK upgrade fake slotted rotor kit with fake caliper that wraps around fake rotor. All real components are behind. Assuming the fake rotor spins with the wheel and the BFK is attached to the fake rotor. You'll see a huge fake spinning when moving.
