Not sure about purple - maybe if it's a dark purple and your car is also painted in that infiniti shade called (i think) malbeck blue? Its a deep deep purplish black that looks great.
I'm currently considering caliper covers in silver to match my chrome wheels or black to match my car surface. They are on sale on Ebay the moment:

Why not, Freddie? Do you think they may harm my brakes? The advert says they don't, but I'd follow your advise over any advert. If you think they may look 'hoakie' on the car, tell me that too.

IMO those are really ugly and to fake lookinig :eek:

If you really need to get brake covers look for the ones that look like Brembo's

I would tell you to paint the oem calipers and add some decals as this would look better.

This is what I did:

Hey 06M4.5 how can I get my hands on some of those decals? I got a place in mind to paint the calipers (no time to do them myself) but I need the decals. I will also check for decals at the shop I have in mind. Thanks for replys!!
