Nothing! (at least according to me) I love them and I've had people admire my "big brake package". I love their disbelieve when I tell them they are just covers. Hehe. I was just adding some humor: Making fun of my covers - allowed Politics - not allowed :)

I've asked for this thread to be removed. You can make fun of my caliper covers, but if I wanted to see stuff about politics (I don't), there are plenty of other places I could go.

Agreed. Non-carbon fiber option, please.

Too late.

Is there anything else we can talk about to keep this thread going?

I just checked his location, too. Central Florida is a little far away, but I hope you are able to meet up to help!

AOOC Aluminum Caliper Covers in Grabber Blue Date completed: 1/18/25 Thanks to @sunnydhama for the initial post about these! Purchased from: AOOA aluminum caliper covers for Ford Mustang (Set of 4) Ordered with No Logo and here's the link to the decals: Amazon.com: R&G Brembo Decal Combo...

Hey @DrRaphael , since you like covers (like I do): AOOA brake caliper covers installed | Mustang7G - 2024+ S650 Mustang Forum (Dark Horse, GT, EcoBoost, GT500, GT350, Mach 1)

Let me help you out: AOOA brake caliper covers installed | Mustang7G - 2024+ S650 Mustang Forum (Dark Horse, GT, EcoBoost, GT500, GT350, Mach 1) For covers, these really do look good! And like most things, even better in person. For my dumb pics, make sure to go to page 2! :sunglasses:

If you are concerned, order the covers. Very easy to install You can barely see them once installed You can remove them before you sell it (if you want) I had them on my 2015 for 9 years and they never started to peel off

Yep! I tested if my math was correct (from the original post) and I put the stock rims on first without the spacer. Would be perfectly safe with plenty of thread engagement (more than the required 14mm).

Yep, with 25mm I was fine. Need to take off 3mm to use 20mm, though. It’s not much, but I can tell the difference! No problem trimming them. Grinding was easier than cutting. Never got hot enough to cause any uses with losing strength. I cut an old lug nut down to use as a guide. Then that...

Finally got a little sun to take some pics.

This… except 3 months for me.

One done! Takes longer to make sure the Brembo sticker is centered and straight than it does to install. Lol. Excellent quality and perfect fitment!

Getting ready to install today!

Three votes recently added for "unsafe" - it's easy to vote, but I would love to understand why you feel that way. So far, the math proves it's safe... please let us know your views as to why it's unsafe.

Another good point, and yes, I would definitely use a cutoff wheel. Same, about not being a metallurgist, but from what I've read, the only way to weaken a grade 8 bolt is by using an acetylene torch. A cutting wheel won't get them hot enough.

There are plenty of exposed threads on the nuts holding the spacers. No exposed threads on the lug nuts. :) But I know what you mean - if, after cutting off 3mm, I went back to not using the spacers, I would have 1-3 threads exposed (if using regular 14mm nuts).

Excellent reply - thank you! Those are very good reasons to consider. I have added a third option to the poll, so you can make an honest vote. About the torque-checking. I'm one of those nuts that often takes my wheels off to clean the inside of them. So, I would have many more...
