Default Calipar covers

yeah, they look good but what are (if any) drawbacks from them, this one mustang place that you see in all the 5.0 magazines stop selling them, he wouldnt tell me why.
the only thing I wonder is,, maybe they hold in heat ?

Mean these? http://www.americanmuscle.com/calipe...ed0509-gt.html I doubt they hold in heat that much, more about probably residue on the backside.

For ***** sakes, do not install those. They are sooooo gay. If you want some color down there then paint your stock setup. And letting less air to the brakes will always decrease performance, not something I would ever do.

Yea I would just paint the calipers. I dont trust those Caliper covers..What if a bolt got loose and the cover became loose and got caught up in the wheel when its spinning?

not something I would put on my brakes.....
