These are caliper covers.

I have been thinking about getting my calipers red for a long time but don't feel like painting them. I have been looking for "caliper covers" in red and I found something like that. Would someone please tell me if these will FIT the tC and if they will look good with it? Plus, has anyone ever seen cars with calipers covers? Do they look good and is the point of having them just becuase you don't wanna paint the caliper?

Any one that has a pic of a scion or any car with caliper covers, please post here so I can look.[/url]

no.. lol
not trying to be an ___ or anything but don't put brake caliper covers that say that you have Brembo, TRD, ect brakes....

If you dont like the way the calipers look...
a) paint them
or
b) get a BBK (big brake kit)

Yup. It's up to you if you want them. But personally, please don't :( . Spending one Saturday or Sunday to do a nice caliper paintjob will result to so much better looking calipers than just covering them up with something they are not.

So DIY painted calipers > covers.

Either leave the calipers alone or get bigger calipers, just my 2 cents
