Who are you tryin' to kid, anyhow?

Many have seen cars with fake disc brakes tucked behind their wheelcovers. Some even go so far as to buy real fake brake rotors (actual metal) and stuff 'em behind their alloy wheels. This is to "fool" you into thinking the car actually has disc brakes. I personally would rather see yellow spraypainted brake drums.

The owner of this car has gone so far as to incorporate 2 different kinds of fakeness into the wheels. First, you have the chrome plastic wheelcovers (available for about $19.99 at your local department store) which might make you think this car has alloy wheels if seen at speed.

But this person has taken it a step further. Yes, that plastic circle is supposed to look like a brake disc. But brake discs are shiny, not dull gray. And these particular discs are radial-drilled, as opposed to the (obviously too played-out to look cool) cross-drilled rotors most often seen on actual performance cars.

I figured these things should be marketed as what they really are, so I created a logo (which took a good 5 seconds). What do you think? Should I place an order for you?
