it's nice, if paired with a nice set of rims. just make sure it's glued hard enough or else it'll suddenly went off when you're driving just like what happened to mine where it got stuck between the rims. luckily nothing bad happened. just be careful tho.

It wont melt because it's not in direct contact with the brake pads, just the calipers. If you want, use epoxy to glue it up. make sure your calipers are clean and grease free before u apply the epoxy.
not dangerous. if it fall off, u just lose the cover la.

Meh, it's not like even a car with real brembo brakes can avoid accident 100%..Ya know, it's accident, no one can prevent when it's happening. Though, the joke part, I agreed. |
