What do you guys think of these? Pretty good alternative to actually painting your calipers (I own a Golf), plus it supposedly reduces brake-rail-dust (a big plus for my white car) and lowers the caliper's temperature.

Would I transform my precious ride into a ricer's car with these on?

Opinions. Go! :D

how is a $180 ricer-roni cover a "pretty good alternative" to buying a $40 G2 Caliper paint kit (that does all 4 calipers), exactly?

Also, how does it lower the caliper temperature when its enclosing the caliper, thereby keeping air from actually getting to it? :confused:

Gun, that's what the guy said in the 'explanation video'. Hence the word 'supposedly' in my first post.

And guys! relax! I encountered this while surfing the intrawebz and had never seen anything like that before... so yeah. :/

buy the G2 kit and enjoy man - seriously, super easy to do and seems like a real high quality product so far.

Yeah, thats what Im gonna do in the future... it's not on my priority list as of right now, but its such a cool little design feature on the GTI that I feel my Golf is missing.

Having used the g2 caliper paint on a past car I also recommend it. It held up to two Michigan winters and wiped clean like powder coat
