I just got another million dollar idea...
I could make brake covers that look like wilwood, brembo... whatever, to clip on over your real calipers! If I just made them to fit Honda, I'd be rich! Between those and cross drilled/ slotted rotors, you wouldn't need anything else to front.
Dang, this is a good idea.

When I first saw the car, I thought WTF? But when I read it was for Burton (I love his boards), and was snow camo... well, that's pretty cool.

you mean -like these?

sorry jess - someone beat ya to the punch - but hey - im sure these guys could use a little fair market competition :D they sound like they could use it...lol read the ad..."to give the illusion image that you have a big red brembo brake kit on your baby"...."if after fitting the covers seems loose apply some silicone in the inside to stick the cover and the calipers together"..."we ll try our best to help/assist u in anyway to make us together have a good experience in the ebay world"..."Have the real feeel today"...LOL with such poor grammer, i just cant help but imagine some dude at the flea market in the bad part of town...and the silicone bit is rich..lol - oh yeah - and just what are you supposed to do when it comes time to change your pads or rotors, i guess they have a carbon fiber brake pad and slotted rotor clip-on kit too...LOL


on the bright side they are looking for retailers - and Jess you're right - the killing i could make selling those things to the cheap a-- honda ricers here in dallas - damn, i seriously just might do that. i bet i would sell out in a day. the crap these guys put on their cars around here is just unbelievably ludicrous and im sure they are everywhere.

They WILL stop you quick, when the silicon lets loose, and the thing gets caught.

This is from the ebay link
This does not fit most Ford BA XR6 as tehy have bigger calipers than most other cars /suv. If wanna confirm this please check the current measurement of the stock calipers and if its diametre is shorter than 23cm and width less than 7cm it will fit then . We do not wish to sell to buyers who buy and found out that they cant use it .Any doubts or enquiry plz email us ! we ll send u diagrams if there s difficulties in installing to successful buyers .

I have a friend who teaches high school and actually gets ENGLISH papers written with instant message shorthand as if it's a legitimate language. We have failed our young people. It makes me sad.
