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.

Actually if you jack the car up and spin the wheels real fast, you can paint em right through the spokes....

The "requirements" and "installation" sections have me in tears.

If you're going to do that, might as well take it to Maaco ;)

With two pairs of jack stands, I think you just found another use for xDrive!

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! ;)

Love your idea!! :rofl:

I was seriously contemplating the idea of buying these from a Bangkok based eBay seller last year. Fortunately, I happened to chance upon these on a Mitubishi Lancer here in Boston. They looked so fake. The reason being that from an angle, one can' help but notice that its a *cover* that does not go all the way around the rotor, but just covers the front portion of the caliper.
