I wouldn't personally do it. Because I've seen these in person and they don't look at real at all.

I think the brake covers would look great, along side your sti centre caps, sti wheel valve caps, and sti number plate bolts. and pink boxing gloves around your mirror, And to top it all off, get plates "RICEY".

Just paint your calipers that dark Brembo red you see of fpv's and what not. Somewhere on here people mentioned that the covers are actually bad because it doesn't allow air to flow to help the brakes. To me what ones i have seen don't fit properly and looks very cheap plastic :) Harsh but come on...

Would the wrx 4 pots fit? They are smaller then the GT/3.0 but looks great. Rexnet they only go for around $400

I would use the 4 pot if I could get a decent set (not too old and still working well) - I wouldnt want to change my brakes to upgrade looks but downgrade performance

I know brand new vs brand new they are better, but they would most likelyhave a fair few kms on them
