Hey does anyone have caliper covers on their Saabie? I have a 2006 9-3/SS... I really like the look of them on other cars but I've never seen a Saab with them! If you do, where did you get them? Post pictures? Is anyone against caliper covers? Are they specifically to look purdy or do they have any performance advantage?

I think the general consensus would be no as they are a bit "ricey".

Thanks guys! That's why I'm asking for opinions! What about painting the calipers? I see some people do it... not sure. I just want them black, nothing like too crazy! Caliper covers are pretty pricey it seems like too.

You can do the front Brembo upgrade and then they will look proper

For the rear I used G2 black paint to clean them up and have been pleased with the wear ability.
