looks good. Is that just a trim fastener?

 

[WheelStander]

Thanks.

Yeah. Hope the pic came through.

Just snipped the retainer down to .25 inches.

Got them from Advance Auto Parts.

Not designed for open track days I assume? Looks like they'd make a gooey mess of your calipers if you tried.

A good question.

I've had them on there for about 300 street and highway miles so far in 100 degree heat.

Its ABS so whatever the meltdown point is and whatever the heat factor in your brakes sure I guess.

I have not witnessed any property breakdown in the material yet though.

Test it out or you could pop them out on track days.

And if you want something a little different try the chrome plug for your bathroom vanity I had those on there they fit perfectly as well if you want the chrome look.

Lowes or Home Depot for that.

Yea I think they would be totally fine for daily driving duties, but the first time you get those brakes up to a couple hundred degrees I'd guess they'd just get soft, deform, and fall out. Good thing they are nice and cheap then.

230 c is vwhen they would start to get flimsy.

Ran a cone course with no issues.
