the fiesta is my old car. focus is my new one that will be replaced in 11 months with a new 2015 vert.

if you are shopping for just calipers that are the same amount of pistons and stock sized its not a lot of money. The caliper covers are like $150 -250.

 

I meant no disrespect about what I said, I just don't care for the Focus or Fiesta. I know they are great cars.
And that's awesome, what color do you plan on getting?
And I do agree that the covers are too overpriced for what little cosmetic bonus they add.

 

Does your fiesta "GO"??

 

I need to see some of the colors in person, but right now I am feeling a black vert with red leather would be nice.

so I am ordering a nice caliper set for my focus st for $529

just $200 more then a plastic cover. I do not mean to bag on the plastic covers but we really do have real options for a real upgrade. I bet you can find Shelby brembo take off's for under 500 on ebay or get some off a 2012 5.0 brembo parts car.

 

Exactly, how do you talk crap to someone and then throw your fiesta in their face....smh

 

I think the red leather would look sharp! I saw an Ingot Silver in Baltimore that I think looks awesome, i started a thread with some pictures. That might be very cool with red leather.

 

fiesta = fun, happy car that get almost 40 mpg
my focus st = "go"


I had many fun "go" cars over the years.

my 2002 svt focus was faster then v6 mustangs of the same year



my v6 mustang was fun and fast when I was 19





but my 2007 was filled with go




my 2006 vert was a wonder truck and a dirty girl





my 2008 Shelby was fast and fun at the track





my little blue fiesta was a must due to snow. This was my first fiesta. The one with the yellow brakes was my 2nd fiesta.






my 2009 mustang had painted calipers






gross(Shelby hood on top)


my focus is getting some yellow brakes soon(2-3 weeks when the coating is done).



photo dump over

 

ok.. how about my 2012 mustang GT



or my 2005 vert

 

Uh oh mines bigger than yours....

 

Sweet lol

 

Omg that car is dirty as hell! And how do painted calipers look on stock brakes? Opinions?

 

rattle can and news paper

 

my Fiesta is bigger! RWAR!

 

Painted stock calipers ONLY look good if you take care of them and don't let them get chipped up.
I painted them on my '03 SVT Focus and "did them up" because the entire brake system was unique to only the SVT Focus. So, that's why i put the SVT logo on mine.


But back the OPs question.... I don't like caliper covers. I think it's a waste of money like fake Pep-Boys vents on the front fenders. Its aesthetic only and is a meant to look like something it isn't.
Like the faux gas cap, random scoops, rear diffuser (idk if that actually works on the Boss/Shelby/GTCS).

They do look good from a distance... but I think there are better options and directions of where to spend money.

I think OEM 2-Pot calipers look great all stock, with good looking drilled or slotted or both rotors. It looks practical, purposeful, and... pretty?

 

love it!

 

"like gasoline". Lmao.

 

Those wheels win this thread. BY LIKE A MILE. My wife commented that they can now be found for $1 for all four @ Dollar General nowadays.

 

haha c'mon Danielle, you know you want these for your pony! You're afraid to tell everyone you've been eyeing them up!!!

 

what scares me, is that I remember seeing them on peoples cars back in like '98 and I was jelly that my Camaro only had IROC wheels instead of something "cool" like that.

 

LOL they came with the car. The car god also hated them... three of the four cracked with in 6 months and I replaced them.



you thin the wheels are bad?? the tail lights were worse. The guy who had it before me also GLUED that neon blue rope all over the interior. The guy was using it as a selling point when I bought the car. I pulled it off with my nephew before we left the guys house. He has such a a look of horror on his face.

pic of said tail lights... I had to ebay a stock set the first week. oh and yes it had a under body glow kit.... gross....
