Rear brake caliper mod to match BREMBO front brakes. Easy DIY.

I bought a set of the cheap chinese covers. They look good I just won't put the brembo sticker on them.

I thought I might contribute in this as well! I just purchased this from Aliexpress and it might give all a hint of what you would expect! This particular seller sent a real picture of the cover a bit glossy while my request to him prior was to get the matte Grey or matte Black at least but this is what they have sent to me ( check pics )
However, the package is still on the way and legible for free return in case I didn't like the actual colour in reality!

Actual colour based on the Seller's real listing!

Did you even read the OPs response to this or our back and forth? You’re a jackass trying to puff your ego under the guise of being an altruist.

Why read when you can just skim something and immediately feign offense? It's more fun that way!

That seems to be a lot of that guy's posts. Seems very grumpy and purely intended on sharing it with others.

Just don't.

You’re totally right, I knew as soon as I saw it was him it was going to be something stupid or negative

Not just that guy! We could make a list. He has plenty of company.

You ain't wrong! I'll admit to being a crotchety old geezer on occasion, but not constantly.

Looks cool … when I first bought the car it was delivered from Carvana and I saw the rears and posted on this forum about no Brembos on the back because I thought they ripped me off .. lol
I’m torn on this mod because we’ll honestly it’s a lie .. they aren’t brembos.
Decades of making fun of people with fake badges has me skipping this mod. Shit it’s like a bald man with a toupee .. looks ok but just not … cool. Lol
I will say you did a great job OP it looks great.

Okay, so the rear calipers aren't Brembos....whose are they then?

Look I get it, slapping BREMBO on the rears is fake. The main thing here is putting a cover on the unsightly rears that look rusted/corroded since the day I got it. That’s probably as far as I’ll go.

It's pretty generic caliper probably marked as FoMoCo made by one of their part suppliers. Like brake calipers on Escape or Fusion. People really get hung up on brand / flashy stickers rather than whether the part works or not.

Will the Aliexpress large size covers fit a 2020 GT front AND rear calipers? Or large for front, medium for rear? Or some other combo? Thanks folks....

I would %99 approve on fitment for fronts and back ! it's about the rims clearance .. check with the seller and flood him with questions and pictures before buying anything.

MGP makes theirs out of aluminum and does custom color matching and lettering/logos. They are pricey but that would be the way I'd go if I did this.

Also want to add that covers serve two purposes, so they aren't just cosmetic.
First: they cover up the GOD awful looking stock calipers on the base cars. (sure you CAN paint them, but that's just putting lipstick on a pig. By painting them all you've done is drawn attention to the ugly stock calipers...FAIL)

Second: More importantly, they help with keeping brake dust off the wheels, which is a big bonus.
