found something i thought was cool and wanted to share. i wanted to paint the brake calipers on my car. good paint was not cheap and it looked like alot of work i didnt really want to do and i dont have experience doing that was not sure how it would come out. i came across an ad for a company called leprecon+ that made covers. $300 for all four. i finally got them and put them on and i really like them, i think they look good, look to be well made. very easy to put on 2 clamps and hex screws per piece. i like they way them make the rear calipers that are normally much smaller look closer to the front. and if i want to change the color later on, they are easy to get powder coated, or paint myself. only thing i need to fix is the center caps on the wheels, drives me nuts they dont align with the logo on the caliper. so far my only complaint is the time it took, they said 2 week lead time, it ended up being almost 6 weeks. https://leprecon.plus/

In 1.jpg (the third one). They aren't parallel.

I agree, that would bother me but I have ocd. If you pull the wheel off those center caps just pop off if you push them from the back, you can align it and put the wheel back on.
