$200 more and you can have big brake kit. Or why not just fiberglass them?

So you're paying them to decrease the amount of air that flows over your pads and rotors? For $10 I'll give you a shot to the nuts you won't soon forget.

Ooooooh! I see an organized group request going out to CarbonTrix in 5...4...3...2...

On a serious note, I actually know of an unsuccessful option that was available on the new Bug through Ray Ban, which was tinted UV protected sunvisors. My fiancee helped design them way back when she was a trans design major. Great idea imo, since they both block the sun yet let you see through them. Nothing I hate more than solid visors when you're driving into the sunset and can't get it low enough without blocking your vision, or having to duck under a solid visor to see if the light turned green yet. Ah well, it never caught on, probably because Ray Ban wanted over $100 for the option!
