I can't believe anyone likes those covers.

I bought the G4 kit and painted them myself. There should be some pics in my garage. If not I'll PM you a pic later today of mine. At work now and can't upload pics.

also, can you do it to an LS or do you need bigger brakes. thanks (p.s- i know you wont be able to really see them on an LS unless you get aftermarket rims)

We have a vendor here on Camaro5 that powdercoats calipers!! Here is the link to his thread:

Does it hold up to the heat brakes can generate?

Becareful what you buy. Some of the walmart stuff looks good for a month and then starts to chip off. Happened on my brothers car. You wont have to realign the wheels. Just take the wheel off and paint them.
