    Oh goody! I feel something warm and wet welling up in my pants!
    Yes it's my Ebay hydraulic penis extender with simulated chicken skin scrotum!

    Does this guy also sell stick on 'M' Parallel wheel decals as well?

    Anyone who buys these 'Brembo pretendos' deserves a serious beating with a flaccid squid on a stick!... Wankers!!!

    How long until the plastic covers start to melt with the heat of the real calipers? I really can't believe that Brembo allows them to use their name for such crap.

    Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Still, whoever puts those on their car is a poser.

    Personally, I prefer the plastic wheel covers designed to make your 15" rim look like a 17...
