Brake accessory?

[Brade4]

Saw a Grang Prix the other day with a red like cover on his brake pad? What are these called? They looked sweet. Anyone?

Google 'Brake Caliper Cover' a whole bunch of companys make them.

I had a Dodge Ram with custom rims. I just painted them to match the truck.

CAMAN-Thank you! Those are exactly it. I have a 2001 Grang Prix GTP sedan. It is silver. What caliper cover color would look the best? Thanks

[CAMAN]

Doesn't gray go with everything? If you want flashyness and to stand out my personal preference would be lime green(MGP makes it in a custom color that is awesome) or blue. If you just want it to look cool black, red or silver.

True that..The only thing that confuses me is the different sizes. In that pic which ones are for which wheels? The car that I saw were small like the bottom. And these don't do anything do they? Just for looks?

[CAMAN]

The bigger ones go on the front calipers and the smaller on the back. You will have to do some research on who makes them for your car and which ones you like best, but they are designed to fit specific cars.

[Brade4]

Alright thanks a ton. And they are just for looks right? Or do they do something? I hadn't seen them in my life until the other day they caught my eye.

[CAMAN]

Yeah, they are just for looks. MGP claims they reduce brake dust and heat but I don't see how covering something up will reduce heat unless it is so precise and tight fitting that it acts as a heatsink.
