Wondering if anyone has ever used Caliper Covers on their 128.....just wondering if they are good and a worth while item

Please don't do this, they don't help with anything other than looks, and prevent proper heat dissipation. If your stock calipers are old/rusty/shitty looking, just take off the wheel, clean off the rust/wire brush them, and give them a new coat of paint after you mask everything off properly.

Much better than some fake caliper cover.....that's just my opinion of course.

Your car, your choice end of the day....

G2 caliper paint has a lot of color choices and has held up for me quite well.

Late to this thread. But I remember working on the ex's 2013 Acura RDX. The front brake calipers had factory installed caliper covers. Was surprised to see this.

Brake caliper upgrades are bountiful for this car
