I put on some MGP caliper covers last night. They´re painted DBP to match the car. What do you think? Be brutal if you need to. I´m hoping for some frank, honest opinions.

Is this: Awesome? Kinda ricer? A´aight? Meh? Pfft? A sacrilege to all that is holy?

Who makes the covers and where did u get them?

I got them from the MGP website (calipercovers.com). They're made from airplane-grade (or so they claim) aluminum, so no danger of melting or anything like that. They're stuck on pretty snugly, and it should be a breeze to remove them. I can actually reach inside the rims and attach/detach them easily without removing the wheels.

They're really not too big. About the size of the calipers.

Very Nice! Where did you get them?

I'll fall in with the 'reading the thread title made me roll my eyes' group, but they actually look pretty good. What's nice about them, aside from what has already been mentioned, is that the calipers themselves should stay clean, and if the covers need to be cleaned, they can be removed to do so.

The alternative, of course, is to just paint your calipers, which would've been cheaper, not to mention more genuine.

Looks dope but, according to their website, a set is $200. I wouldn't be down to drop $200 for brake covers.

I would personally paint my calipers before I invested time and money on caliper covers. They are just not that aesthetically pleasing to me, especially the rear. To each their own and that is what makes the world go round! lol
