Default ISF: VViViD Brake Caliper wrap

I find this an interesting option to change the color of our calipers. Obviously, if you track your car, don't poop on this tread :-)))
I might give it a shot, I like the option that you can always remove it. It will actually protect the original paint of our calipers.

Brand: VViViD

Amazon Amazon

Colors available: RED, YELLOW, ACID GREEN and BLACK

Props for the patience to wrap such a complex shape. With that amount if time I'd rather just prep the caliper and paint it. Definitely a cool concept though.

They look very good to me and the video is excellent. Of course the question is- how long will it last .

^^^^^Agree??......have no idea, will kind of be an experiment to see if extreme heat affects the wrap long term

The wrap is holding up just fine, It's been over a year now with multiple hard runs in the car braking from 100+ (as a matter of fact last weekend I was braking down from 150+ and generated a lot of heat bringing me back down to 65 and it seems to hold up. I think this particular wrap is specifically for high heat applications so all is still good

Hope this helps

Is the Lexus text underneath still silver? It turns gold when you track the car at a hard braking track. Not sure what the wrap would look like after that.

Good question? I know I've seen your calipers and the Lexus text turning gold when it gets extremely hot........If I remember correctly mine were not gold before they were wrapped last year
