Caliper Cover Guinea Pig

Yes I know there is a lot of spirited and colorful opinions about caliper covers, but i promised someone I would put this request out there. If there is anyone in the San Diego area that is willing to allow a Caliper Cover company to use their car to develop a prototype cover for a G37S, PM me and I'll get you the contact information. First PM gets the info.

Thanks man. These covers wont have anything like that, actually with these you are able to customize them and have most anything printed on them, i.e. team logo or just leave it with the companies logo.

Quick question. How does covering your caliper in a piece of metal reduce heat or brake dust?

why would anyone with a G37S want to cover their BBK calipers or do you just need the size of the BBK calipers on a G37S?

Some people want to add color to their brakes without painting or powdercoating them. This seems like a simple and inexpensive way to do that.

Here it is. MGP Caliper Covers Keep in mind they don't have any for G37, which is why they need a test car.
