$220 to make your brakes perform worse

1st post in, glad to see people are friendly here

I thought about getting the red caliper covers. Love the look but was concerned with vibration sounds, or performance of breaking, and possibly heat. Have you noticed anything so far?

IMO only, but the caliper covers really cheapen the appearance. They're too obviously fake and look "off" in the most Autozone way. I saw one parked recently with either the same or something similar and it too noticeable/lame-looking even from across the street. I'm quite surprised they're even >$50 total much less >$200. I'm really hoping that at least OP is enjoying them.

Brakes? Who uses brakes? Regen slows my car to a complete stop, so my brakes will last like, forever. So who cares what color your calipers are, anyway?

Yea who cares how your brakes perform in an emergency stop situation. Nobody has ever died in a car accident.

Agree that brake covers are dumb, but those ones are particularly fake looking. They do make some that look real-ish, or at least more real than that...

to each is own , I like them, powder coated aircraft aluminum , reduces break dust...no vibrations or any scraping sound so I wouldn’t worry about that ......didn’t know there was such hatred for caliper covers lol

Hatred is strong word, I wouldn't call it that. But it's expected that you'll have various opinions expressed here. I also wouldn't consider any of it to be personal.

I saw those caliper covers and though the same thing as others have said on here. There’s several threads about it too.
I got these other caliper covers from Amazon for under $200 and they look better and bigger and it hasn’t impacted my braking performance whatsoever so not sure what the whole concern about them are.
