Default MGP Red Brake Caliper Covers

Does anyone know where I can find these for under $200 or so dollars? Anyone have any used ones? Or should I just paint the existing ones? Thanks.

Cool! Sounds like a pretty good route to go.

Does anyone have any pictures of painted ones?

Why not just paint your existing calipers with (say) caliper paint?
*Much less $$$$$

Do you have a picture? I'd like to see how it compares appearance wise to the MGP ones

sorry, i think i spoke to soon on these.. i just looked at my bill and the custom Ford Pale Adobe color work was $324.

will post in the classifieds tomorrow to see if anybody wants them in the existing Pale Adobe color, it would be a shame to sand & repaint after all the work that has gone into them.

i will also be posting the matt black ones i have tomorrow as well.

thanks!

I purchased these a long time ago when they first came out for my 2006 Charger R/T. They are very cheesy looking, and remind me of something you buy off ebay for $30. I took them off after being on the car for 5 minutes and sold them online. They are well made, but do not look anything like brake calipers. If you are looking for something that looks authentic, put the money towards removing your OEM calipers and have them powdercoated. It will probably end up being cheaper than buying the MGPs and will last longer.

Disclaimer: I am a stickler for authenticity, specifically high quality parts and anything that is OEM. The caliper covers just did not fit what I was going for.

ZMAM22 - Do you have a picture?
Have yet to do the F-150, however, here are a couple of pic's taken last year of my 2003 Crown Victoria LX Sport (115,000 miles - calipers were painted in 2004 two years after being purchased *new* ) ...
*Front .....


*Rear .....
