Just curious if anyone has tried the covers like, or similar, to the ones on ebay at Transformers Style Brembo Disc Brake Caliper Covers 4pcs Front and Rear RMS16 | eBay . I am not sure if there is enough clearance between the caliper and the wheel for these to fit...several of them state that you need two (2) inches of clearance. On my Cadenza I had the dealer remove the wheels and paint the calipers as part of the deal, might simply have to do that on my CF if I want red calipers.

 

I removed, disassembled and glass bead blasted them, rebuilt with new seals and painted red with 4 coats of high temp ceramic.
I would have liked to have had them powder coated, but no place within a 100 miles to get it done.

 

I don't know if the ones you linked will fit or not (the compatibility chart says they will fit Crossfires from 2004 - 2008) but I know these will fit . . .

If you phone their sales department they can help you choose from many available colors and engraving . . . SRT6, etc.

 

Yeah, I had seen those and they are nice. I was looking for some on the cheap but the cheap ones do not bolt on but rather they are held on with silicon adhesive which I think could be a real mess.

 

And most of the cheap ones are plastic which I would be afraid would melt. Look at the G2 Caliper paint. It is a good thick product.

 

You say that as if it was a bad thing.

 

I have the MGP ones on in a custom color, not cheap but overall a pretty good product and not a lot of clearance needed.

 

I just put on my MGP covers a couple weeks ago. I go them thru autoanything for 20% off sale. Paid 159 for them (regular 199 +) I didn't get custom painted because I wanted mine subtle. They are good quality, pretty easy to install, don't require a lot of space and look nice. DO NOT buy the plastic ones. They cover the full assembly and do require glue. The brakes will heat up as well. Get the MGP ones or do the full restoration and painting of your existing calipers for go all the way and buy the real things (really expensive). I have stock wheels so no need to buy real ones unless I was going to go with a really vibrant stand out look. I prefer subtle. Heres a few pics.

 

Thanks, found my next project.

 

They cost a bomb, I got the real thing, two front four pot calipers by Brembo for less than that. I traded for them at Ontarios if not Canadas, largest Crossfire parts outlet.

I can have decals on them that say BREMBO and not be called a poser. LOL

I say save up for the real thing.

 

I have the real thing on my Porsche. 996 Twin Turbo big brakes. On the Crossfire, which is the drive around car, I'm not going to spend 3500 or more than a third of the cars worth on brakes. LOL

I love my Xfire and its probably one of the most unique anywhere as I have the Startech stuff, suspension, etc, but thats just too much for this car. No poser. Just smart. The Xfire is for show, the Porsche is for go.

 

I also recommend painting your calipers instead. You can also put decals on it.
