    Ohhhh Noooo - Glue-on Brembo brake caliper covers

    Ohhhh Noooo - Glue-on Brembo brake caliper covers



    Poseurs, take note: you can finally corral all that imaginary power your Hyundai Elantra SRT8 isn't making underhood. Eric Hsu at JDM Insider's Beyond the Dyno blog came across what'll doubtless be the latest trend to show up on M-badged Plymouth Breezes everywhere: bogus, glue-on brake caliper covers that give you the high-performance Brembo look while perfectly maintaining your fakemobile's incomprehensible lameness. When it comes to things that suck, innovation knows no bounds.
    What a joke.

    Not with spinners, but it would go well with spinner hubcabs:

    Think it's a brilliant idea and I'm sure there is a big market for it!

    Gee..., Sounds like good news to me!

    After work I'm gonna try to remove the stock Porsche (?) red glue-on veneers that _might_ be covering regular old black colored-calipers on my car.

    Never liked the red (nor the yellow) colored calipers anyway.

    hahaha...
    I thing it would be great if someone had the time and money to make an ultimate gayfakemobil Farrari/Lambo replacrap using all this crap, just for the laughs of it.
    Maybe it would catch on and make for a new competition in car industry... sort of like pimp my ride has become...
    Here are couple of my additions:
    I actually saw the hello kitty one on a C2 in Zagreb. Looked cute, and driven by a girl, thankfuly.

    It's surprising how many people want to equip their vehicles with "Big Yellows", even though those vehicles are not really hot performers ..............

    Fritz,

    No need for a dyno run--I think you'll find you've got 2 1 horsepower vehicles.

    (While waiting for the picture to download I was expecting a nice Citroen 2CV.)

    I bet they installed those cause of the road regulations demand you to have proper brakes.

    In my own defense, I was standing in the midday sun when I took those photographs.
    From memory, I remembered that carriage having a 2-horse team, tho' I hadn't touched a drop of Sangria.

    I guess I should have run a dyno test, or at least have looked more closely at the second photograph.
