no, it's not from heat. It's the latest way for ultra billionaires to rub dumb money in your face at a late night, drug induced, street light meet up.

I know it's pointless and tacky and I should hate it....but I kind of like it.

I don't hate it. Those cyberpunk esque lambos Japan is doing would benefit from these. The problem comes when every squat truck in Florida has cheap knockoff these.

For sure, when it shows up on eBay we are all doomed. All the bro dozers will be running eBay calipers on 10,000 pound vehicles

It looks less like automotive and more like Bicycle or Moto.

I believe the one that I have pictured there is for a motorcycle. But they did mention that they are coming for cars as well

Yeah, that tops my concern on a budget hack bro-dozer.

You guys would not believe the number of random CNC brake calipers on display at SEMA in all the little booths that have two people and a card table. They're not hard to make. Engineering? Whatever. We can put your name on it and powdercoat any color!

I'm wondering if Motor1 was late to pick up an April Fools' joke.

Although I will also say that there is no such thing as a pointless "Hey, look at me!" mod on a motorcycle; you can't be too visible on two wheels. If I could make a whole motorcycle jacket glow, I would.

Sitting in the drive-thru line at the ol' Dairy Queen last week netted FOUR brodozers with wheel well lights like these, which just showcased how crusty the frames and inner fenders were for everyone to see. I had to laugh.

You can. They have battery powered light tubing bike gear. Looks like tron at night!




and, no, this isn't a daft punk concert.

The logo in the center is strong reminiscent of the Beats headphones logo...

This thread reminded me to put the cheesy LED light strips I foolishly bought some months ago on the bottom side of the older Civic my daughter mainly drives, without telling her first of course.  I think they are blue.  Or maybe pink.

Isn't that the fun part? Waiting for her to explain bit to you and that she's certain that she didn't let her boyfriend borrow the car and he did it!

I'm not sure what these would have to do with drug dealers or billionaires. I promise there are more than 2800 people in the world with poor taste.

Do I think they are beyond cheesy and bad, yes. You seem to have something else going on to care this much.

Meh. Show me some lighted rotors that will make my car look like it's braking at the Bus Stop at Daytona and then I'll be impressed. devil

There are a lot of sillier and more extravagant ways to spend money on brakes than sticking some LEDs to the calipers...I've said it before, the existence of carbon brakes on street cars should be one of the direst economic red flags in history.
