I'm happy with mine. They make the car stand out but in a subtle way. Not cheesy at all, in my opinion.

I bought the black set the red clashed with my Ruby red.

 

The gloss blacks are super nice! I was able to get a hold of the matte black ones at a super discount price, I think it was like $60 believe it or not. That's why I ended up pulling the trigger.

Nice job on these! I've enjoyed mine. Gotta be careful when you go in for wheel work. I've found that the service techs may 'bump' it and cause it to misalign. Make sure to fix it before getting going again or u can scratch the cover from the inside of the rim.

I'm partial to painting them (I know it's a pain) as there's concern about the covers not rejecting heat as well as paint. 'Always looking for that edge...

 

I picked up a duplicolor caliper paint kit the other day and did mine.
It is a brush on kit that is pretty easy to use just take off the wheels, mask the rotors, mix the special paint, brush it on.
The brush included in the kit is garbage and they dont give you much masking tape so pick up some spare small brushes of decent quality and some extra masking tape if you get the kit.

I think painted looks better, but some covers can also look good in the right color.

 

I haven't done either, but I don't care for the covers. If it were me, I would take the time to paint them.

 

@slojas, that's the same brush I use for adding acid flux during a brass radiator repair job! That's what they sent? Wow...

 

For a show type car I think they look great!!

 

Used G2 caliper paint for mine and had it color matched to the car. It wasn't too bad and damn sure cheaper than the color matched covers I was considering. Covers look pretty good and are easier to clean, but I would always worry about them rubbing on something.

Looks sweet! Did you paint the lettering on the calipers also?

 

high temp decals from ebay.

 

I dont know if you have a PP car, but if you are base, I would recommend buy a set of GT takeoffs with hoses, paint them off car with the G2 paint, then swap 'em out. That is what I did, so the only down time was swapping out the calipers, rotors, and splash shields.

That is what I wanted to do originally, if only I didnt have 17" winter tires
