Thanks John, appreciate the kind words

how hard is it to see the difference tho when you have covers compared to the real thing? is it pretty obvious? lol

I can spot it from a mile away, but I'm sure a woman wouldn't be able to tell unless they saw it from an angle (however, they don't even know how to decipher brakes and calipers properly, so that's a moot point). However, even if the match was perfect and you couldn't tell real from fake, it still one of the most poseurish things anyone can do and I'll leave this video below for people who say otherwise.

Here's the thing... can you notice them? If your point is to look like you've got nicer brakes, and you can notice the difference, then odds are anybody you're trying to impress (friends or otherwise) will notice too. So caliper covers are a big fail, and a big embarrassment.

Unless you're going for the easier goal, which is to impress the general public as you cruise by the parking lot, or for someone watching your wheels side-by-side on the highway. But these people wouldn't even notice the brakes in the first place. Seriously, the general population... it just isn't on their radar.

On then there's the third motivation, which is a simple visual mod. Trying to improve the looks of your brakes for your own sense of taste. In which case, anything can happen.

So to answer your question: it's very hard to tell the difference for most people, but very easy for the people who would consider the mod. People like yourself.

On a side note. What's better a real girl or a blow up doll?

Well I guess that's not a fair analogy. A real girl who's a 5 or a blow up doll who's a 10?

No, that's a perfect analogy, particularly since the blow-up doll is so much less expensive.

Also, the blow-up doll isn't going to fck you back, just like caliper covers aren't going to help you brake any better.
