Caliper Covers
Hey guys I came across this product for our calipers. They look pretty sick. There actual Caliper Covers that hook over your calipers. I like them and they have them in silver 
...but the thing I dont like is that they cost about $190 for them. Their from MGP and they have the Chevy Bowtie on them.
Check 'em out

If the price was alot lower I would consider buying them to spice the look up a bit, but such a steep price for a bit of what seems like plastic. A great amount of reviews is on its way of changing my opinion.

Great find. Kinda sucks that, according to the website they will work on 17 inch and larger rims - 2000-2003 never offered 17 stock rims. Oh well

They look nice, but they completely loose my interest with that price tag! WOW! I also have to agree with Amy, it's kinda of interesting they make a product that costs that much and does not work with stock option wheels.
My personal opinion says paint is the best option. But, having the bowtie is a cool aspect!

I suppose a decal could go there, I'm just not sure how well it would hold up (I have not seen anyone do that before, but there is always a first for anything).

I painted mine, and got some $5 decals offa ebay to see how they worked...they have lasted quite a few years through NY Winters and Summers...the paint is starting to chip, but the decals held up pretty well.
The covers are cool, but I agree a bit pricey...mine can use a repaint, but I think I may wait it out and just save for Baer system, or just powder coat my stock ones.

What type of paint did you use?...
