    Brake Caliper Covers?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I just got a 2011 a4 and think that the brake calipers look horrible. I was wondering if there were any ways to cover the calipers with out changing the brakes. I am also not interested in those cheep caliper covers. I am looking for something to cover the stock brakes. Thanks

    wait, i dont get what you're asking? you hate the caliper covers but you want some type of covers?

    assuming you just want to mod them somehow and make it better, what i'd recommend is getting them painted, you can even do it yourself depending on if you have the tools to lift the car and take the wheels off.

    but that would be your best option, no need to even take off the brakes or calipers, just take off the wheel and start painting them right there with some caliper paint. you can go for gloss black or red or w/e color you'd like, but those 2 would prob be the best options.

    calipers look very cheap and tacky.
