Red Brembo Brake Covers??

[oceantracks]

OK I'm a dummy about these things...we bought a 2016 GT350 which of course has Brembos on it, but what are we seeing when we see cars with Brembos (Mustangs, Vettes, etc) and they have that red Brembo cover like thing on them? Can we get that for our car as well? I didn't know whether it was merely decorative or a different model altogether. Thanks!

I believe it's the actual caliper in red, not covers.

^ this ^ the regular gt 350 had charcoal gray calipers, the 350R got the red calipers from the factory. If you want the red ones that bad you can buy a set from LMR for ~$1500 for all four.

No manufacturer would ever put covers on their calipers.

You can paint/powder coat your existing Brembo calipers any color you want.

A can of G2 paint added with some white Brembo decals and your set.

Caliper covers & port-a-walls gives that fast look to a car.

+1 on painting them. No special prep is needed. Just use wire brush and brake cleaner/degreaser.

I have these and I love them. Easy to apply and much cheaper than painting. Obviously they won't be as durable but so far they've been great for the price. I HIGHLY recommend putting a couple coats of some cheap ceramic coating after you apply them though. Makes it much more durable. They even lasted me the past 2 track days without discoloring or anything.

I put a set one and didn't ceramic coat it the first time and they got completely ruined by the heat after my first track day. Bemaro sent me a new set at no cost and told me to ceramic coat them before my next track day and that was all they needed to hold up to the abuse.

You can see how burnt they got after a single track day with no ceramic coating.

For my replacement set, I put some cheap Amazon ceramic coating on it and this is how they looked after my next track day.

After a simple rinse and wipe, they look like this.

They still look this good after a second track day and over 1500 miles. Not a bad alternative to paint!
