Now here is a company with some serious brainpower at the helm-

I wonder if they can supply yellow or silver....?

"NO DRILLING REQUIRED , NO EFFECT TO BRAKE PERFORMANCE"

I think they should have went the other way with the advertisement. More like, Get Brembo performance at a fraction of the cost.

He he.... I especially liked the very detailed photos showing the proper location for the silicone adhesive... on both sides no less! If they would include a little tube of silicone adhesive, I'd consider getting a set. But, if they're going to cheap out by not supplying a complete kit, I'll take my business elsewhere!

I almost ordered those but they would not be sufficiently visible because of my spinners ..

This product might decrease performance. Putting a larger object there would certainly increase the wind resistance of the vehicle. He..He... That is why I keep my car waxed, less wind resistance. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/laugh.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I think they are being conservative, I've heard those things will make your car stop better than if it had PCCB's!

I would think that everyone on this forum has enough sense (and pride in their vehicles) and not give that junk a second look. Except maybe to get another good laugh.

The smart money is on this one. Gaurenteed to increase HP across the board.

These covers could quite likely reduce heat transfer from the calipers which, in this case, would be convective and radiative.

I was out taking my daughter to Newark Airport and spotted a good looking car briefly out of the corner of my eye. Then I noticed the three ports on the front fenders and thought, Gee, it must be a new model of Buick. Not bad looking. I had a chance to take a better look, it was too good looking, except for the portholes, to be a Buick and sure enough, it was a Lexus E350, just like mine, except for the ports. But I heard it adds over 200 bph.
