I think the red is going to look great on your rig Rnlcomp. I'm going to go red also to match the other "Doo- Dads" I've got.

This is going to sound like UncleG but my biggest issue with the caliper covers are cheesy fake cap head bolts. Can you get them without those?

You can order them with nothing at all. They have a ton of options.

LOL Yeah that's not my favorite detail either but along with the Ford logo I thought it broke up the solid red color a bit. They are really well made and the finish is flawless.
Someone asked me at a traffic light the other day if those "brakes" came stock on the truck.

Got my set in today, I thought the Ford oval and fake bolts were just painted on, the outlines are actually stamped into the metal then filled in with paint.

Mine should be here today. Ordered the same, red! I may black out the fake bolts. Can't install today due to weather anyway.

I need to change my oil, rotate and balance my tires and install the power stop rotors I have today and was going to put the covers on at the same time. Mother nature is pissing all over my plans right now. Maybe tomorrow. Some day soon I hope to build a garage in the backyard that I can put a lift in.

I'd be happy to have a garage even without a lift. I'm getting drenched here today also. I've opened the box and looked at those covers 4 times already today! LOL!
