yea it's better to get them painted, not worth $$$ or time to get these.
Good point... ballpark estimate to get a shop to paint all 4?

Sorry jdcinc21, seems hijacked your thread
oh not at all keith84_uk. this helps me alot with different options i can do.
but after seeing the brembo kit on the OEM 166's i have to say they look too fake.
so maybe get them painted.
im thinking yellow, like the color of the ones on the Porsche GT2.

The yellow looks badass Should look great on urs as well

Probably our calipers are too big for the covers, thats why it doesnt look as good as the one below (The white car).
I am still waiting the guy from thailand to reply, hope i can find a cheap one for anyone in here, and people can bin it if they don't like it.

i saw these a while back on ebay, then i met a friend with a new 350Z that had them on his ride (red brembo brand).... all i can say is they look good from far away but when you get close you can tell they're just what they are... a cover over the o.e.m calipers. you can actually push on them and they move around... he had them istalled with JB welded not silicone....

they look silly with the o.e disk cause its to small for such a large caliper cover....
