barracuda83 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2011 anyone know much about putting the ebay available red brembo brake pad covers? i was considering as would look cool. But things im considering is i) heat issue, ii) glue falling off ii) would the covers rub against 18" wheels as i saw the wheels are real close to the brakes.

Sick Puppy 1 Report post Posted April 30, 2011 Dude, maybe it's the beers I've just had, maybe it's that lateness of the hour, but I cannot help but think that stick on brembo covers just fail on so many levels... I mean, it's a bit more subtle than a sticker list of aftermarket car brands on your door, but it still fails. Just my 2c, but the money can go on better things...
