What do you guys think of these?

Hey guys I would like to get some caliper covers like the 1 series BMW performace calipers.What do you guys think of these? Do they look cheap. I wish they said BMW instead. Do you think I could change it?

Sid, if you need to, just paint the stock calipers. Don't do covers.

Somewhere between and ... Please don't.

One user (wadgrass44) did paint his calipers. Looks pretty good, but that's b/c they're black. He's got a post on it here.

Wow, sorry dudes. Didnt think they were going to get that bad of a reaction. Ive seen the painted calipers and they seem to always look kinda cheap. At least in red that is......Nevermind.

Those powder coated ones look sweet! I think I might look into getting that done in red. Thanks guys.

Just a note that painting (not powder coating) can have an adverse affect on the calipers because it can trap in more heat, leading to quicker brake fade. If you don't plan on tracking often, then it really doesn't matter too much.
