SURVEY: What, If Anything, Have You Done With Your Car's Brake Calipers? (For Models S, X, 3, & Y)

I meant to include a poll survey with the post Different Ways to Add Color to..., but I overlooked it at the time. This poll applies to all four of the (most recent) Tesla car models--S, X, 3, and Y. Feel free to post comments, photos of your projects, and links to other posts/threads. Although Models 3 & Y use different brake parts than Models S & X, the issues faced by owners in trying to improve their cars seem to be, for the most part, similar.

A customer at the shop I work at had yellow brake caliper covers installed over their stock breaks on a blue Tesla and I don't usually like that kind of thing but it looked really good not like a shity cover.

I remember years ago (1995-2005) visiting a Los Angeles art museum near the La Brea Tar Pits--must have been the Los Angeles County Museum of Art--where they happened to be having a special exhibition of California Hispanic/Latino/Latina art. When I arrived I was thinking, "Oh, I won't care for this."

It was fantastic.!!!!

All that color on the canvas; all that emotion on display in the automobiles; on various three-dimensional objects; on motorcycles. Amazing.

My point?

I have yet to see a modification to a Tesla car--to its wheels, its brake calipers, its external paint/wrap colors, you name it--that doesn't look exciting. It is an expression of the owner/driver. There is no "wrong."
