Yeah, that really makes the wheels stand out. Very sporty -- great job!

Exactly, the wheels really do "pop" now that you mention it.

Hey, cali yaris, what do you think of caliper covers?

Great job.

ive been debating on weather I should get caliper covers or the caliper decals that you see on ebay. After some research ive read that the covers arent a good idea as in the long run they can cause damange

FTA: ( These are not caliper covers, which we do not recommend. They fit poorly as well as trapping excess heat and corrosive brake dust. This can lead to warping the brake discs and damging the caliper housing. Our decals, together with caliper paint, do not interfere with the caliper operation and allow the heat generated to be dissipated, as the factory intended )

Up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit constant temp!
(We give 9 so you have a extras for practice/mistakes)

Anyways, i ordered the caliper decals off ebay and will post up some pics once I get them on.

I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
