caliper covers

[WormGod]

They are big, and big means more to clean. I have Brembos and even those are a pain to keep clean, squeezing all between the wheel spokes to get to them. Keep that in mind too. Even though they would cover that ugly eye sore of an OEM caliper (face it, ours aren't pretty), a dirty cover would be just as bad.

In all, I won't knock the covers. Sure is cheaper than a big break kit (just ask me, I just dropped $$$ on mine) and isn't as ugly as the fugly calipers we have. Doesn't look like they have an ISUZU fitment though. Not sure if there is a same or close fitment to other makes.

Also, guys, I think you fail to see the price diff here.... Brembo vs these things? C'mon. That's KIA vs Ferrari.

for your VX??

Yes. Not Brembos though. Sorry, poorly worded. "brake kit" it should read, not "big brake kit".

I got all new OEM calipers (2 rears were seized anyways) all the way around with PowerSlot slotted rotors, EBC greenstuff pads, and steel braided lines. Looked into Brembos though and the shop I go to would have been happy to do them (actually got a good deal on some used goldies from a friend's G35 since he changed his out) but they would not clear my Enkei wheels.... and I didn't wanna drop more $$$ on wheels or get spacers (hell, already sitting on "0" offset) just to have them fit.

I had the Brembo calipers, rotors, and pads on my '03 G35 Coupe, and trust me I well remember regularly splitting my knuckles to clean between the spokes, as well as the ridiculous price for replacement pads and rotors. But they were bad-@$$ looking, and you could trade out the Brembo rotors and pads for much cheaper Hawk products that worked almost as well. What did you do with those G35 calipers? I'd love to see if they would fit behind my Borbets...

Maybe paint your calipers with some high temp caliper paint? It does help to pretty them up a bit, but you still don't get a fancy name on them (Brembo). I painted my calipers a few years ago and it's holding up well with no chipping or flaking.
