They turned out WAY better then some of the pics i've seen of their other stuff! :thumbsup:
are they the same color as your jeep? in some pics they look it, others they look different.
I personally like the rears with the mopar "M" the best.

Thanks Mang...as always people wigg-out when I say i'm going to do something new, but when its finally on its stunningly sick wit it...

Anyways...Its a brighter red which accents and matches the red lip on the wheel to include all the letting on the jeep and it matches the bright red interior I have. All together it matches perfectly..When the Jeep is washed and waxed it it just as bright as the caliper covers...

Overall I am very pleased with how it turned out and since I was the test vehicle I got them for $70 which covered the custom engraving...sick deal...

oh my....terrible. They look like covers at 1ft and 20 ft. Youve spent all this $$$$$ on your Jeep...why crappy covers?

tis-tis-tis...Scott now stop being so negative my old fren...Just showing the world what sexy mods can be done on a WK...trust me i must be doing something right if even True SRTWK owners are like, "Fawk I wish my sh!t could look as clean as yours"...It's nice to be different bro and not all the same....

Pick your poison right and you'll be able to kill them with drop dead modifications....at least that's what I always say...

You know me bro...and you know SWIFT...we always got to do things that haven't been done yet...and still makin it look hot as FAWK...Street and Show is how I roll...

I just dont understand...why do a show vehicle and add those? I could make those in my garage....

They make the rotors look even smaller.....

get a big brake kit.......
 
#13 ·
Not really Scott...Considering the fact that I am on 24's the damn rotors already look small :lol:...at least with the covers it helps fill in the void in the center.

Besides big brake kits are for vehicles that have a shit load of hp and need really good stopping power...having bigger rims does not justify needing a big brake kit, just as long as you have something better than stock rotors and pads...which I do of course.

sorry bro...thats not drop dead. If people were honest...they would tell you that....its not negative at all. I do like your Jeep...except for the CF headlight covers and these....just being real with ya....and Ive always said that. I would want someone to tell me!
 
#15 ·
Well thanks for being honest Scotty...no hard feelings :p...as far as the headlights go I want to get a set of painted black one and still put the CF covers on them....oh if you feel so bad about my covers then give me you big brake set up...:lol:...i'm sure I would be just as happy...:D

Never that...Scott my oldest friend on here, I respect his opinion, but doesn't always mean i agree with it :eek::D.

Is that vendor on here still making them??? Haven't heard of anyone buying any one JG for a while now...think thats why I haven't bought mine yet.

Something different and new...a lot of Jeepers don't know much about me except for Scott and a small handful of members, but I have been the first to try a lot of things on the WK platform and I am always trying to find a way to make it look unique...Don't knock it till you try it, so I visualized it and tried it. I can honestly say that I very happy to see my dream come to reality. Looks 180 from the old SJ days...

i agree that they look better than expected but nice new shinny paint on a dog turd also looks pretty good. lol just playing. they look okay as a temporary thing but i agree with the others about a big break kit, that's the first thing i think every time i see your jeep, 24's are just too big for little rotors. if you want to do something different go with baer or something instead of brembo...

All these haters!!! I don't love them, but they do look better than the stock calipers. Personally I would up grade to bigger brakes eventually. With those big wheels the brakes look tiny! I want bigger brakes but I won't sacrifice my wheel size to get them, because my WK is an off road one!

Sick WK by the way! I would love to see it in person some time! :thumbsup:

I feel yah bro, but the real truth about big brake kit are the opposite of what you are saying. Big brake kits are for vehicles that need superior stopping power for high-horsepower and the size of the wheel has nothing to do whether or not u need a BBK. If you have big wheels it is highly advisible to upgrade to better pads and rotors, but still no need for BBK.

Anywho...i sent you my # so we can meet up sometime and you can be the judge for yourself.

Jacob... im def NOT a fan of those covers. HOWEVER i do like the fact that even with everyone saying NO NO NO ... you still said... YES YES YES and now those same guys are saying... hmmmmmm not so bad after all.

at the end of the day... for $70 ... not a bad mod.


but then again... i prefer my Jeeps on 32's rather than 22's nawutimsayin??? :thumbsup::thumbsup:
thank Dave, but i'm rollin on 24's fool, lol

Yo J,

im with most of the others that's against it BUT it looks much better than the stock calipers against 20's+
Jeep looking slick brotha!

Tanks Mang...

Have to agree with some of the others.

While the covers may look pretty good, the purpose of bigger calipers is to mate with bigger rotors.

The purpose of bigger wheels is to allow for fittment of bigger brakes/rotors

The proportions of your wheels and calipers is out of proportion to your rotor.

This is what make it goofy looking, and kind of poser. (trying to be gentle here)
