Oops, did I just go here:
http://www.brembo.com/ENG/Contact
And send this:
I've always liked your brake products and wanted to forward a link to an eBay auction of a product using your name/logo on fake caliper covers.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320135180207&ssPageName=MERC_VI_RCRX_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=320135179929&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=active_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget
It's pretty sad that people will buy something like that and even worse another company can get away with making them.

Why you? pay more than $2000-$5000 for upgrade your
brake caliper to Big brake kit if you can pay only $80-150$ for
change your brake caliper to Racing big brake kit by use Big Brake
Caliper Cover Kit.
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
why pay more???? maybe because a big brake kit actually does something :ftard:
:lulz:
Bravo, Blackbird!
I didn't even think of that. We gotta help the aftermarket where we can. A friend sent me this link from an MR2 board, so I'm sure Brembo and the other manufacturers are getting deluged with letters like yours.

I usually have all four corners smoking when trying to take a stock suspension SRT-4 on twisty mountain roads so I'm sure those would hold up great. :rofl: Plastic and what looks like silicone glue. :rofl:

I'd LOVE to see a pic of some dolt using these and going down a mountain road! And the raging fire that would result........ :jester:

if i get a set, it will have to be Pink. Pink is in again, RIGHT?????????
I just had an idea....
Why stop with just plastic brake calipers? Why not whole plastic engine covers that make an ordinary engine look like say.... a supra TT engine, or a civic engine look like an SRT-4 engine, etc.
Hell, why not take it to the extreme? Why not make a plastic cover for the entire car? Say... turn a civic into an EVO or make a Yaris look like an STI?
This really has possibilities. :rofl:

Yes, but I mean COMPLETELY cover the ENTIRE car. You know...the way kit car guys would take a vw bug or a pontiac fiero and turn them into a ferrari or lambo. Except in this case, you don't remove the existing body. I'm talking about a whole new plastic body that just slides down over the existing body and is held in place with silicon glue or 3m tape. Doors, hood & trunk are all attached to the plastic body. The whole thing just covers the old car as one bigass piece. No mess. No fuss. And viola! Brand new EVO! :gayfight:
I can see a vast potental for this.........

wait. you really wanna do this.
wait. you really wanna do this.
Not unless I can make billions of dollars.
This idea is retarded, of course. BUT, if I can make myself rich beyond measure, then I'd hit it.
Of course I'd have to find a way to bypass all the manufacturer's lawyers....... Perhapse make the kits in Lybia........

i want one to make a neon look like a space shuttle... that way the looks can match the srt's awesome speed

it'll make srts faster w/ the decrease in drag

Not a bad idea.
I was thinking of making an SRT-4 look like a Dart!
Save money and tackle that pesky engine problem in one fell swoop! :nawz:
