This is a good option for those people who are wanting to paint their calipers. I believe you can get covers without the brembo logo, I'd prolly get the ones that have just the Nissan logo on it. It's so much easier than painting.

i believe these are bigger than the OEM so it would definitely make it look like you have BIG brakes upgrade regardless of the logos or not

I don't know, since it is a very thin line between painting the calipers and covering them up...

Seems to me that painting them is a purely cosmetic decision, while buying monstrously big covers is more pretentious

Has anyone considered that these are made of plastic and that the brakes get REALLY hot when they are in use?

I dunno about the rest of you, but cleaning off melted plastic from the crevices of the callipers doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me.

true, but this isnt the brake pad itself, and i believe teh caliper itself is made of plastic. And you arent replacing ur original calipers... i think u add on it, so it should matter unless u install it touching the pad or the disk brake

calipers are made of plastics? then why do we need high temp (900 degrees) rated paint to paint calipers?

have you ever looked at your calipers bro? There are no calipers made of plastic Go out and drive your car with some hard braking. Then touch the calipers when your done. You'll see they are very hot.

considering paint itself already cost 20 bucks or more and paint tents to chip very easily

this add on thing is much easier for those who cant paint or dont like dealing with paint, plus it probably wont chip paint as easily? but someone said it mite melt lol....

it looks pretty easy to install to me
