Question universal caliper covers?

hey whats going on MCF? allright well i have been thinking for a while what my next mods should be.. and i look at my wheels and i think "my breaks look like s***" calipers have some rust spots so paint probably wont work well on them right? and legit caliper covers are about 200$. so i found these.. any thoughts? sadly all of the covers on there are from hong kong... and if you have order from them like i have before it takes a while for it to arrive.. but i have never had problems quality wise. so anyways check these out and tell me what you think... a side note... only 23$

or these and add the chevy logo or Chevrolet in a black vinyl down the middle? i like the other style better but... i dont have brembo breaks so that doesnt make sense...

They seem to look good... Do our cars take the 4 large covers (Universal) or the 2 large & 2 smaller covers?... How do they fasten on?... I like them in red...

im not sure i tried to look it up but no luck. i wish i could get just plain ones in the brembo style.. i do too but i thought i would get the same color as my car.to make them stand out against my black rims.

Seems ricer-ish. Like you're trying to have something you don't have. I'd say get some G2 Caliper Paint, do it right, call it a day. It's cheap and easy.

I agree with RickakaTed. Just paint your calipers. I did the Duplicolor brush on ceramic caliper paint. I did it two years ago, and they still look like the day i did it. Also, it is super easy and glosses up after it dries.
