Default Meh. Jack it up, take the wheels off, spraypaint the rotors/calipers red. Sharpie the "porsche"

I hope somebody gets that.

Default When I read your post, I knew your user number would be in the 90,000s...

Are you kidding about the Tuner01 covers? You have a few problems:

1) Have you looked at the size of your front calipers?
2) Those covers look terrible.
3) Those covers look stupid.
4) Most wheels won't have enough brake clearance to clear those covers, I don't think the OEM Avus will fit.

That site is hilarious, I keep thinking it's a parody site.
