I know it's not for performance, trust me. Neither are the huge wings ricers put on civics or the huge fart cans you see sticking out the back of them. They're just for looks and they cheapen the way a car looks. I'm not judging, I'm just giving reality. Any real car enthusiast will laugh when they see painted calipers that aren't actual bbk's. Does that suck and is it a little elitist? Sure but it's the truth. I too personally think it looks much nicer seeing calipers that are just very clean over painted ones that aren't bbk's.
