Default fake brake caliper covers!

had a little chuckle to myself today when i came across something amazing on fleabay not sure if im allowed to post a link
DUMMY big brake caliper covers. they are made from abs plastic and u glue them together over ur original calipers
many colours available and look a bit like brembos
would anyone really consider glue'ing 2 pieces of plastic on ur brakes
