When the glue comes off and those pieces of metal go flopping around inside your wheel, taking out the brake lines and whatever else is in their way, let us know how they work out. Get some VTEC Turbo badges while you're at it. Point is - safe to install = NO, so don't do it. Don't be lazy, paint your calipers if you wanna change or spend the money and get REAL Brembo's. Don't glue chunks of metal to your calipers.

Why would you want to put this schlock on your car? What would be the point?

Fake badges, ///M badges on non M cars, etc are the epitome of people who wanna look like they have more than they can afford. It's sad to see Honda based posers and their idiocy reaching up into the BMW crowd.

Or, you can just tape off and/or cover the areas that you don't intend to paint and paint the calipers on the car, this way you won't have to bleed the brakes.

So yeah.... between heat cycling, weather, and such, the clearcoat on my fronts are peeling in places.
Thought about sending them back to Brembo for some refreshing, but I'm liking this idea.  edit: OMG. The "requirements" and "installation" sections have me in tears.

I wonder if I can put some stickers on the brake rotors to make them look like they are cross-drilled. All in good fun!
