I think the only challenge with that is clearance issues with the wheel. Since you have the actual brakes, having a raised section like that would probably interfere with the rear wheel. Although maybe a slight raised center part may be more appropriate to get the look you're after. Good suggestion and am interested to see what @apexdesigns thinks.I think they look great but they would look even better if the rears had a raised center area instead of a recessed one and not so many screw heads... So they could look more like the GT500 rear brake calipers:
If you don't mind, could I post this on the Mustang Ecoboost Forum?
you do not have Brembo brakes in the rear, is the point (and a fact)
I do have Brembo brakes...the fact that Ford decided the rears didn't need to be Brembo doesn't make my car any less a Brembo car. The factory brakes come with decals and I put them in the back to make it more aesthetically pleasing for my own preference. With that logic, we're all posers making modifications to our cars.
The only one who looks like an asshole is the one getting defensive over a different opinion on a public forum. Or the one who’s being a poser by slapping a brembo sticker on fake covers and getting upset when somebody points out the fact they are not brembos. But keep calling it a “brembo car” if that helps you sleep at night.
As I mentioned in the literal first post, it IS a shame that Ford didn't put Brembos in the rear. I also fully acknowledge that this is a aesthetic modification that I've made to the car. I did not refute your point, I said that it didn't really matter since it is as "Brembo" as a 5.0 can get. You're making a point that doesn't need to be made and the only one looking like an asshole here, is you bub.
I'm not sure why you felt the need to express your negative opinion here. There are plenty of functional and non-functional modifications we all make to our cars. Fake hood vents, quarter window panels, fake carbon fiber, caliper covers, etc. We all make modifications that personalize our cars the way we want them. If you don't like that, that is completely cool. Keep walking and keep the negativity to yourself.
We did offer something like what you are asking for in our Gen II PRODUCT LINE. SEE PIC.
Very nice, but those are too large to be used on the rear.We did offer something like what you are asking for in our Gen II PRODUCT LINE. SEE PIC.
Of course this makes the overlay 1/2” thick so most OEM front wheels will not have enough roomWe did offer something like what you are asking for in our Gen II PRODUCT LINE. SEE PIC.

Those are much better! I would consider these if they didn't have so many screw heads all over. Seems over-the-top (but I'm just picky that way). Do you think it's feasible if I filled in the screw holes I didn't want with body filler and then painted them? Obviously the mounting screw holes would be left alone.Of course this makes the overlay 1/2” thick so most OEM front wheels will not have enough room

Or you could just paint them
I think that would work. Some people paint the bolts the same color as the overlay. We do have have these Gen II still available. Classic style in anodize. Easy to paint over.
