Today's original equipment and aftermarket large diameter, thin spoke wheels look great, but they expose a lot of the mechanical parts behind the wheels that often don't look so great, particularly the brake calipers. You can paint your calipers, but it takes a lot of time and effort to do the job yourself, or a lot of money to pay someone to paint them for you. Plus there are considerations with painting beyond the initial paint job. The paint will often peel, even if the surfaces are meticulously cleaned, and even the best paint job probably won't stay looking good for more than a year. And no paint job will be able to do anything about the shape of the calipers, which often isn't that appealing.

The answer to your brake caliper appearance dilemma is MGP Caliper Covers. Caliper covers will make those rusty, unappealing calipers look exceptional, and so much more. MGP Caliper Covers are laser cut from rugged 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum, hydraulically formed to fit each specific caliper, and powder coated for a durable appearance that will last. These caliper covers will make any brake caliper look better, now and for years to come.

MGP Caliper Covers are available with your choice of logo applied using proprietary CNC high speed engraving techniques. Your wheels will stay much cleaner, because these caliper covers help reduce brake dust. You'll also get reduced caliper temperatures with MGP Caliper Covers. When checked with an infrared thermometer gun, it was found that caliper cover equipped brake calipers were 30º-50ºF cooler than brake calipers without caliper covers. MGP Caliper Covers act as a heat sink, drawing heat out of the brake calipers, prolonging the life of brake system components and reducing the potential for brake fade.

This OFFICIAL LICENSED FOR FORD & GM VEHICLES product offered by MGP is a unique vehicle customization solution that increases style of car with a big brake look. Everything required for an easy installation is included with your MGP Caliper Covers, including detailed instructions. Clips are used to hold the caliper covers to the calipers, and the bridges that the clips attach to are TIG welded to the covers for strength. MGP Caliper Covers will not interfere at all with brake system operation and they're easy to remove and install when brake service is required.

MGP warrants these caliper covers against any manufacturer's defects for a period of 3 years from date of purchase. MGP Caliper Covers are proudly made in the USA.

2012 Ford Explore
The product looks amazing and makes a huge difference on appearance. The only complaint I have is that it did not fit properly on my vehicle. There was no room between attaching the metal brackets to the calipers and the rotors. After driving with them on for a while did they grind down to the point where they fit and don't make the sound anymore. This was the only challenging part was the depth space wishing the TRUCKiD would have brackets thinner but durable enough to allow for clearance between the rotors and the clips. Otherwise, they do look amazing and are not grinding now.

Cheaply Made; Didn’t Fit Correctly
The product arrived and I expected the product to be a higher quality than what it was for the cost of these. It is either a thin aluminum or sheet metal. Also, when I went to fit them on, they weren’t a perfect fit and I had to minipulate the brackets for them to fit. I also glue the rear brake brackets on the calipers so they didn’t slide around. The right front cover rubs somewhere and I can’t find the source but my car sounds like a something is wrong as it has a slight grinding noise when I drive. Was not impressed at all except for the look it gives my car. Definitely won’t recommend this product to anyone else.

2015 Ford Explorer Sport Installation
The new Explorer Sport for 2015, particularly in black, has minimal chrome, such as the door handles, wheels, and other trim that is now black. I wanted something to set off the wheels. Rather than replace or paint the calipers, decided on the MGP covers in red with the Ford logo. It turned out to be a good choice. Installation was easy. As with any after market item, sometimes a tweak may be necessary. After we mounted the covers, we noticed there wasn't much clearance on the bottom edge of the covers, and the wheel would actually rub. We removed the covers, bend the bottom spacer back down as far as possible, then slightly bent the top two brackets down also, at an angle, which forces the cover to hug the calipers snugly. That solved the issue and gave plenty of clearance away from the wheel. Unfortunately, I was unable to post pics here to show you how it looks, but trust me, they look great.

Red Covers
Took covers to my ford dealer to have them installed. This is the third set I have purchased from u guys. There’s not much clearance on the front covers, rear good. We haven’t driven it much because of the weather. We will see if they stay on.

Amazing Look on Your Ride. YOU WANT THESE!
Seriously, I added these when the car needed new rotors and pads. Insanely the best option if you want to keep the stock calipers. Changes the look of your vehicle from nice to awesome. Added them to my 2015 Dodge Charger. Excellent craftsmanship. Be proud MGP staff. You did great on these. The Charger lettering stands out. I'll update the photos, if I can, when the TRUCKiD.com Rims and Tires I ordered come in this week.

My first vehicle had the red caliber covers and I decided to try the yellow ones for my new vehicle. They stand out and are different that the usual red that many people are installing. Overall, compliments my vehicle and I am satisfied with the look.
