I can't be the only one to think 200 bucks is a ton for caliper covers?

I agree. I think the covers are way overpriced.

Caliper covers retain more brake dust and could possibly become a safety hazard due to brake dust collection, just saying.

Covers may also keep the calipers from dissipating heat as well as without them.

Hahaha that was funny. I'm not a fan of covers either but to each his own.
