Just get a G2 paint caliper kit and make a day of it. You will NOT regret that cheap $36 paint kit! Its great and not poser.

Do those covers just go over the stock calipers? if so where do you get them?

putting those on will dissipate heat, that may have a adverse effect on your performance for braking!!

im not a mechanic, but I am a Engineer, but I also did not do any testing!

these are a joke
don't put them on, if you what you car to become a civic boy racer then go ahead.
also to take them off you will need to brake them.

this is not mean at all.
For our cars we do not deserve this kind of mod.
If you dont have the spare cash to buy the AP or Brembo then just paint them like me.
This will look better and clean
