Those cheap ass caliper covers you see on ebay don't sell because 1. they're hideous if you're trying to make your car look clean and 2. they're made to look like you have brembos. There's 2 markets for caliper covers. One is the ricer that wants to trick people into thinking they have brembos, and the other is any other car enthusiast (whether its import/tuner, american, or classic cars) to wants to make their car look cleaner. You don't see the clean looking covers on many imports because they just opened up to makes and models other than american cars. You also don't see them because they aren't marketed well. The MGP facebook page doesn't even have 5000 likes. That's embarrassing for a company in the auto industry. Again, you are using your opinion to determine they don't sell. This is the only thread that I have posted in about the covers, and multiple people seemed interested already. I think you are slightly underestimating my knowledge in entrepreneurship. A simple google search will give you plenty of hits on my current company. I'm not your average college student. Maybe I should have left out that I'm still in school, then you guys would show a little more respect. I feel like I'm being talked down to because of my "inexperience that no one knows about". I understand you don't think they will sell well, but you really don't know. It seems how many other people on here want to give their knowledge, but have no facts to back it up, just opinion. |

Kidding. Clean WRX. Is it stanced or is that just the body roll around that curve? |

Hood is definitely steel. I have large size chips from salt on the roads and I am showing a little bit of rust. The stock hood is heavier by far. I could care less why you think my car is ricey. I think it looks good, and so do most everyone else that sees my car. I did my research, and I have about the same performance and suspension mods as you do. So if you think all I do is appearance, you are most certainly wrong. YOU are the reason why forums are going downhill. EDIT: thought you were the other guy at first so disregard some of this. But I wouldn't be surprised if I have MORE performance mods and suspension mods than you. FORM AND FUNCTION EDIT AGAIN: Went on your photobucket album. I like your riced out pearlescent lug nuts and your sti wing on a wrx. What purpose do the lug nuts serve? What purpose does the sti wing serve? Maybe you should get some caliber covers so we can't see your wrx brakes. Then you can actually fool some people. Last edited by Buzzed Trucks; 06-12-2013 at 11:54 PM. |

I've never said that they'll sell great. You are the only one that made a claim that said they wouldn't sell good. I don't have to show a market study to prove anything, because I never made a claim to begin with.

Just found THESE on eBay. They look cool. Anyone have any experience with them. Really like how they say brembo. I could probably use some good tape?

Since when does "more" equal "better"? If your exterior mods are any sign of your path to performance mods, they are useless too. Oh, and my "pearlescent" lug nuts are aluminum. Reduces un-sprung weight, and rotating mass... Just in case you wanted to know what useful mods are for. |

Yes sir, that's correct. Love it there. Only a short drive from the house.
Buzzed: Are you really that dense? How does having an sti wing on a wrx make it useless? It's practically the same car! I thought you were an engineer? Do some research before you rage out. Why would I hide my brake calipers? Braking distances between the sti and wrx are almost identical. The major advantage is heat dissipation, which you clearly have a hard time wrapping your head around. Last edited by Sleeperwagon1; 06-13-2013 at 12:06 AM. |

Buzzed, one thing to consider... No need to keep jabbing back at anyone. Regardless of who "started it" you won't sell a single unit of your product if you depict yourself as a belligerent ass.
Just know that there will be criticism, and in the meantime , quietly develop your product. You like his nuts. Hey don't hate on custom lugs, (I am shopping for some lol). The McGard's have pretty good reviews. Sleeper, what brand are your aluminum lugs? |

Haha, if you want to make your claim that your lug nuts reduce rotating mass, then I surely can claim that my hood is functional by losing 20-30 lbs, my wing riser kit adds downforce, my caliper covers keep down brake dust, and the halos allow for other drivers on the road to see me better. All of those (except the hood) is a bunch of BS, they really don't make that much of a difference. Do I really need to list my performance mods? Do a little research, you'll learn that I have more money into my headers/uppipe than in my GTWorx cup kit. |

Oh cool, ewg and headers. :rollseyes: a gtworx cup kit, omg. You must have the best suspension hands down.
I gave you tons of info, you're ignoring it. Do your tests. You're such a great engineer and business man, we can all tell. Grow up kid. |

I'm so sad right now. 12 years ago when I joined the world of scoobies, if someone had mentioned caliper covers on a subaru, they would have been shot, tarred, feathered, stoned, and shot again.
Schnells comment on scoobies becoming the next Honda is unfortunately true. Trustkevin13, I am interested in the backseat protectors. Do you have any pictures? Ill try and keep this a picture thread. Just finished adding some flavor to the tail lights. (Still need to clean, wet sand, and polish |

Tons of info? Where? C'mon dude, you don't need to try to make yourself look better. You have no experience with testing heat transfer in calipers. And you definitely don't have any experience with adhesives. Seems like your only experience is being a dickhead behind your keyboard. You need to grow up. |

Also i want to clarify i didn't call you kid because of your age. I said it because of your immature stubborn attitude. I furnished plenty of info, as someone who is a "engineer" as you call yourself why would you even waste your time with the info that I've given you. Also beyond that you continue to call people hyprocrites, that seems to be what everyone is to you.
You're the problem with this community. |
