[That White 9th Gen]

Hey guys I'm looking to get these caliper covers from carid.com. anyone have them with pics on their civic? Think it's a good deal? http://www.carid.com/2013-honda-civic-caliper-covers/

Or should i just paint it?

Personally, I would go with paint.

Likewise. The only thing I'm worried about is the caliper cover falling off and end up cutting a brake line or something. Those covers are not held securely. And I wouldn't trust epoxy to hold something from a part that can get as hot as 800F.

They are held on with clips and locknuts. No epoxy. I think they are held on pretty securely. I almost got a set but the price is all that held me back. Also I couldn't just buy a set of fronts. Since I have lame rear drum brakes..... hahahah.

I would get these over paint actually.... since the paint gets cruddy looking after a while and these are totally reverseable without having to sand or strip anything. But thats just me.

I have the mpg covers and they are secure as hell, I've had mine for a long time with no problems and I get almost zero brake dust on my rims

One more thing, it ask do I want bolts or not. I see you have them, do they help secure onto the calipers?

And should I get them from carid or the mgp website?

$179 with free shipping on carids site. $200 plus shipping from MGP.

Is this what they are designed for or are they more for aesthetics?

Both. You can get the paint color-matched to DBP...

Dyno Blue calliper covers eh......might be overkill.

I will get some red ones eventually...would prefer a BBK though. Unfortunately, more money than I would like to spend.
