Fiberglass Ravenus Studios Caliper Covers

KendrickOak · 01-28-2018, 01:14 PM

Ravenus Studios Brake caliper Covers in fiberglass. Specifically designed to fit your specific BMW caliper. I personally love them.
I uploaded a glimpse of my Vossen Wheels fresh out of powder coating that will be going on them.

I would rather just paint mine then put a crappy looking cover on.

Depends on why. I like the look. Obviously performance is better but mines a daily driver. Downside is dust a squeaky...

one bad comment and you take down the photos of your covers you had made? i didnt think they looked bad and gave people ideas for just buying covers instead of painting them.

7iM3less · 01-29-2018, 07:29 AM

I'd like to see these covers?

I upgraded to the m performance bbk in red, all I get every morning is the squeak of death. The dust is worst than before but if you wash your car once a week like I do it's not noticeable or any "more" work.

Yes washing definitely helps!

There are all types of sprays that you can buy which are applied to the rims that help reduce the dust from sticking too.

Yes I have Car Pro HydrO2 which lasts around a month. Works well and definitely helps with squeaks!

Most of our standard Brake Caliper Covers for various BMW Makes and Models are $470

yea.. um no. not worth the cost in my opinion. painting the actual caliper is cheaper.

paid $400 shipped

classyfast · 02-05-2018, 05:51 PM

Lol you paid $400 for that? Brotha you do know that those brake covers hold in heat on the calipers and actually soften brakes during "spirited" driving right? Not a good idea when you can actually buy calipers used around that same price!

Then again you looked "bagged" or stanced so there's probably not much logic we can convey anyway.

rlmesq · 02-05-2018, 08:55 PM

All caliper covers look phony to me from thirty yards away, especially the rears.

tpliquid · 02-06-2018, 04:31 PM

wow 400 is 360 too much for covers

I think they look good but definitely not $400 good ... That being said, its your car and what matters the most is that you are happy with it

KendrickOak · 02-15-2018, 08:26 PM

Final look achieved with the covers, came out beautiful in my opinion.

wdeerfield · 02-16-2018, 07:34 AM

Looks great! how does it look aired up at driving height? any shots to show how cambered the wheels are when aired out? Just curious as the fitment for driving height.
