WandersX those caliper covers look really good! Reminds me of the Brembos on the Evos and Genesis Coupes. I was thinking about getting some for my Koup, how easy are they to install?

Take less than 5 minutes once you get the wheel off. That is definately an upside to them. They look so clean also and add a very nice look. What color car are you driving Rock?

Car ID because it was cheaper. I noticed that the other sites are more customizeable and different colors but a little higher in price. May be worth it...

i've been looking on the interwebz for a few months now- and seriously- these are the only metal ones that cover just the caliper that i've found-
found plastic ones that are even molded like the brembro ones but have to be silicone glued to the caliper.......
and if you are looking for dust reducers- i've found black metal ones-
that end up completely covering the entire inside of the wheel.....
but i've yet to see a metal caliper cover - (much less one that assists in brake dust removal)

but keep searching- cuz i'd sure like more options

Looks very impressive man, I'm trying to get the Audi lights for my Koup also, how much was it and did you install them yourself?

Bchris09 as far as price and installation goes,

There are a couple options online here. The latest site I will be using for audi lights is the osnium.com site because AIDENSGRAND has those and they look amazing.

As far as installation goes, I hear you can do one of two things

1.) Install to harness see AUDI HEADLIGHT MOD thread
or
2.) I hear you can run wire from your fuse box to them directly.

Thank you LIGHTS. Hope everything goes smoothly for you Tuesday when you pick her up. Blue is a great color.
