JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

This is the same reaction I get when I wear my Superman Shirt...
Face it, you're gonna get crap for this. It's like having a whole bunch of older brothers around. If you do something that the general concensus wouldn't do, you're gonna hear it. That being said, it is YOUR rig.

....the word "ricer" comes to mind.

considering I am asian...I think that would enhance the number sneers I get when driving around in my Jeep....


...people will think "ohhh nooo the ricers are starting to get into Jeeps"

Boy I'm really getting really bashed, I didn't know that this was such a bad idea, I thought that it would look better than painted calipers! Well guys thanks for your input, if they end up flying off then I will just paint the calipers, since the jeep is getting lowered buy 4 inches and some 26" chrome wheels (kidding)

I don't think it's so much you Bubbabeer, or even a brake caliper cover, as it really doesn't look bad (although I too question how well it will stay on). It's the fact that it's pretty much like adding a Hemi badge to your JK when it's got the stock 3.8L. Its the same reason why people goof on those peel and press hummer Hood vents.

I think if you found a set that didn't have the Brembo logo and were just plain, you'd catch less flack. Although I'd love to see the look on someone's face when they ask you about your brakes and you tell them it's just a plastic cover over your stock calipers.

I love them. Where can I find them. I have a big brake kit but am a big fan of brembo so who cares what people say man. It's your rig and I don't think your a poser at all... like I said I would put them on mine if you can get me a link to purchase them ( in black or red) And I'm no poser. I have a 9.5 inch lift and 37's and Toyo 40/15.5/22's and 22" XD Monsters on the way, so rock em out and get me that link...I LIKEY!!!
