MGP Caliper Covers

Finally put them on.. here they're.
Not cheaper either.
Am open to criticism too!

CeeTeeX5 · 02-27-2018, 02:32 PM

Personally, I'm not a fan.

But if you're happy with it. More power to you.

I'm not a fan of fake add-ons. But as long as you like them...

Not a fan, fronts look ok, but the rear, man those are painful to look at.

Yeah, was expecting something bigger in rear too, but caliper is smaller, so they had to adjust them.

Yeah, not feeling them.

I will keep my rusty calipers exposed.

Yeah, it's sad up here. You wash it one day, next day it's dirty.

Doanster · 02-27-2018, 07:38 PM

Sorry, but wayyyy to contrived looking, especially the blue "rivets". The fronts don't even cover the entire caliper. I would've put that $$ towards something really important... like body colored reflectors.

Kudos for posting knowing the reactions you'd get, especially after the orig thread about badges, etc.

Why clean the rims and draw attention away from those caliper covers.

Not afraid of criticism by any means.

The "rivets" are standard in MGP, I just picked the colors.
The tab not covered in the front is to provide clearance from moving parts.
Regardless of whether you find this aesthetically/"principally" good or not, these folks produced something good; these are metal, not plastic. Price tag for whole thing $350.
Preferred to spend on other things, like front lip/rear diffuser/rear flaps.

Will go MBPK next time around, if more funds are available.
Although, I think I am overdoing it already!

Respect to you man for not been afraid to do it your way!

Also, by not going with MPBK you saved a lot of money. I need to stop spending money on mods too (at least until better days).

Was about to go R1 Concepts, $1900 shipped...not bad.
But a fellow member sold his stock brake kit, almost brand new, for $600...so I took it!

For $350, you could have had the stock calipers nicely painted. The guy at the wheel repair shop was only charging $50 each and they looked great. $350...man...that’s just too much for that.
