found something interesting.

sup guys, today i was checkin out truck world and found some fake rotors>its a round disk that goes over your drums to look like disk brake. i have MP master power brake drums in the back and ROH 17" snyper rims so u can see my dums and just looks off (u guys know what i mean) so i was thinking of getting these disks just so i can cover the dums and match the front. anyway i was wondering if anyone has these? and what u think of the look. i think it would look alot better then painted drums what do u guys think???

That would look like @ss, don't do it. I'd just paint the drums flat black, or some other color that blends in and leave it at that. If you're hard up for disk brakes get a stock LT1 axle or convert to disc brakes (kinda expensive I know). But whatever you do don't put on fake discs or "dust shields" or whatever they call em.

You also need to see if you can get a fake caliper on that thing

You canbuy a set of rotors for what a full (4) set would cost you. Turnkey auto Here in Atlanta seels them in 18, 20 and 22 inch versions. They're chrome plates with tiny holes in to make them look cross driled and lotted. They want $75 ea. for dubs. I would'nt waste the money, just wait a lil while longer and get the rotors

But if you wanna go the other route, they will bring your rims out because they're chrome. As to how long they hold up is a mystery.

u guys are right when u think about it, it would just look messed. i dont want to upgrade to disks on the back... to much work as u no, pluse i just got these rotors and they are amazing apprently they are suppose to be better then disk. the drums i have on are silver now, so u think i should paint it black or just leave it? my car is red would it look stupid if i painted the drums red??
