damn, you beat me to it, lol. We had a car come into the shop the other day with these. Hideous!Originally Posted by Harley#356
its funny Lee, you've always disliked the factory 02 stripes since they're stick-on flames, even though they do look very nice for a decal, yet you'd put cheezy fake big brake caliper covers on your truck?
Guess these would go along nicely with them
Dummy discs are really dumb but I don't think a billet caliper cover that keeps it clean/purdy looking is any different from all the other billet covers/stick-ons that folks install under the hood or inside the cab for some kind of blingy/purdiness.

a billet caliper cover isn't keeping anything clean. So your caliper hidden underneath stays clean, but the cover gets dirty. That excuse is a lame attempt at justifying the rice aspect of itDummy discs are really dumb but I don't think a billet caliper cover that keeps it clean/purdy looking is any different from all the other billet covers/stick-ons that folks install under the hood or inside the cab for some kind of blingy/purdiness.
As for making it look "bling", powdercoating or painting stock calipers, thats making them look "bling". Adding a stick on fake big caliper cover, thats as cheesy as it gets!
Replacement knobs/buttons for the interior that are billet aren't nearly as cheesy, they're simply accentuating otherwise boring parts. Same for under the hood. A better analogy would be adding a nitrous button on the dash thats not hooked up to anything, or adding supercharged badges to the outside of the truck on a model year thats not supercharged.
Bling on a non-functional item (rad caps, buttons), okay
Bling on a functional item (painted calipers, polished blower), okay
Bling on a fake item made to pretend to look like a functional item (stick on big calipers, s/c emblems on n/a trucks), LAME
