Default What makes it higher quality then G2 Paint?

Isn't the purpose of these to make your brakes look nice, similar to hubcaps making your wheels look nice?

Default They absolutly look better than any G2 job I've seen, its not just the application...

its the surface its being applied to. Are they fake in comparison to a BBK which its trying to imitate, of course, but cosmetically this is a much better looking alternative to the G2/paint option IMO. And realistically even when your painting the calipers cosmetically your trying to imitate a BBK.

Actually, I paint calipers to make it easier to clean. To each their own though.

Well I would think these would be just as easy to clean, if not more so
