Got MGP caliper covers!
Ok, I've only seen one thread on caliper covers and alot of people trashed them due to price and look cheesy. But after reading your threads. I didn't want to spend all weekend prepping,painting and having to touchup every 3 months. So for $189.00, I went ahead and got the red ones with ford logo on them. I didn't have to take wheels off or clean anything, took me about 10 minutes on each to put on.
I personally love the way they look and will buy them over again if I bought new truck. I am curious on what you guys think, so be honest!
Also, I don't want to here anything about my Rockstars . Thankyou

I'm thinking some of you are getting lazy these days. I guess that's good for the aftermarket though. Painting your own calipers is not hard; the prep is no big deal either. Spray on brake cleaner from a can, use an old toothbrush, then brush on caliper paint. How hard is that? I did it on my calipers 1 year ago. and the red is as clean and shiny as your covers. And I only had $40.00 invested. More coin for other mods.

Nothing rattle canned
Look good! I agree with Bucko though...a little elbow grease and the same and possibly longer lasting results. I have to do this on my calipers ASAP, I've replaced the driver side twice now and pass once and both are rusting up. I don't know what it is with this truck and eating calipers!?

Also, i agree with all of you except for the lazy part. I work 12 hr shifts , five days sometimes 6 a week so spending my weekend painting them is not going to happen. But, if I had the time, i would of painted them . Also, I do think that the original price of $230.00 is high, I think 125.00-$150.00 would be descent price. But overall for $189.00, im happy w the product , I like the way they look and would recommend them to anyone who is interested.

I have those on my Harley, I got them on ebay for $170.00 and there well worth it. They have been on my truck for almost 2 years now and have been through 2 very harsh winters, salt, sand, you name it as I live in Northern Canada and there just as good as the day I bought them, there built to last. I painted my Calipers when I first bought the truck and it didn't last and didn't look half as good as these covers. I had a few guys bash mine but I think the problem with these guys is they just can't afford them. They look great man and will last a long time. Not sure how you got away with not taking your wheels off, I had to take mine off.
