Aluminum Brake Covers for an Si

[MeGustaChuletas]

Has anyone tried those Brake covers to make their brakes look better? When I had my Subie, I was able to find a reasonable upgrade for the ugly sliding calipers. I can't find the same for my Si (unless I just want to do the fronts). So I was thinking I could do the covers till a manufacturer comes up with a full kit (front and rear) for me to upgrade to.

Never heard of this brand, but I had considered them a long while back when I had a civic sport (some guy who made them and painted them himself). Ultimately decided against them since they're brake dust magnets and potentially risky to proper brake function. I don't want a piece of metal flying off my brakes at 85mph because I incorrectly clipped it.

I highly doubt anyone will make a full kit for non-type Rs because of how the brake system works on this platform. You're better off saving your $200 and buying a front bbk and just rattle canning the rears to match with high heat paint.

You could also try genesis coupe rears and fronts(?). I wanna say there's people using those on our civics.

It wasn't so much the brand, but the concept I was wondering about. There are some that actually utilize the Caliper bolts to ensure they stay affixed to the caliper. I agree, it isn't something that I'd prefer to do ( I'd rather do a full BBK kit), but would like to swap out the stock wheels for new wheels and the stock brakes (even painted) aren't that great looking.

If painting is all I get, then that is what I'll have to accept I guess.
