Not that I like the idea of fake covers. But that MGP one just looks plain and unattractive. If I was doing this, I'd get the Brembo cover instead. The design looks much better than MGP. It's like....if you were going to wear a knockoff, why wear a fake Citizen instead of a fake Rolex?

I like the silver but again...not liking the word Brembo on it.

Carbon would look just as bad since we all know calipers are NOT made from carbon fiber!

Take them off dude. ASAP. Its way too obvious they're caps. I mean I'm not even seeing it in person and I can see that those white bolts are just stickers. It doesn't belong on a BMW.

I hate to say it but I like the fake Brembo covers linked to earlier. The ones from the eBay link seem nice, but I wonder what else you all would recommend? Installing real Brembo's is out of the question.

Sounds complicated! I'd take it somewhere to have them do it, but doesn't sound like something I'd be interested in doing myself since I'm guessing I'd need to remove the calipers in order to paint them.
