Default Brake Caliper Covers
Can anyone recommend a caliper cover for a 91 that has the A-Mod wheel on it.

Just my opinion, but caliper covers are way to "ricer" for such a machine as a ZR-1. I'd suggest painting your calipers unless you wanted a bigger brake system. If so, there are many options.

I agree and if I put some on it would be in a gray, silver or maybe black. Not to loud but cleaner looking than the stock caliper.

A lot of us have powder coated our calipers. Lot better solution than stick on covers.

If you have stock calipers you can paint them as others have said. I painted mine.

The C5 caliper conversion will fit with A-Molds so you might want to look into that. No reason to fake the funk with a ZR-1. If you want big calipers, get big calipers.

I painted mine with caliper paint just like this one - except red as the base color. Looks good and is wearing well so far. A lot cheaper then the covers - brakeleen, masking tape, and a couple spray cans of caliper paint...
