Default Caliper covers - Red

2017 with electric parking brake.
I have 20" wheels.


EDIT 11/4/25:
Even though I purchased red with Ford logo and I love them, I'd like red without a logo.
Might consider black with no logo, not sure.

MGP model number #10239SFRD. For F150s with electronic parking brake

I have black ones I might sell if you don't find red ones.

Cool option.
Can see a pic of one? Steel or aluminum? I need to check fitment.
I have electric parking brake, that matters with some.

Saw some red covers that said SHELBY with screws that bolt through, but wound up getting used MGP with the silver Ford oval and fake screws painted on. Wanted plain red with no detail but I'll see how these look. If the silver detail hurts my delicate eyes too much on my all black truck, I can always stay on the lookout for a plain red set.
First world problems.

I like the smoother, no lines, no bolts look. Less crevasses to catch dirt and easier to wipe clean I would think.

When you put the clips on the calipers, MGP says to use a .013" feeler gauge between clip and rotor.
The thickness of copy paper is about .05" several times thicker than what is required.

Has anyone done this? Checked the clearance? Seems that the clips go one only one way and that's the way it is.

The front cover goes on and touches the face of the brake caliper just as the instructions state.

The rear cover is a finger distance away from face of caliper but more than that from the wheel I installed. It seems ok? It has 2 sets of holes but there’s no way I can use the closer hole to bring cover to caliper face.
