Oh oh oh! I loveee it! Could i get a close up of those caliper covers? You're the first person i've seen with them on! I've really wanted to get those for a while! other than that... sweeeet ride man!!!

 

[WandersX]

Sure here is a couple.
It was well worth the money for them. It took literally 5 minutes to put them on after taking the wheels off and they look very professional.

Looks great!!!!

 

[fas93]

Ohhhh just lovely! I'll definitely invest in a set of these in the near future.

How is the fit on the front wheels,the gap between the wheel and caliper is pretty small.

...and further on the MGP caliper covers--- brake dust reduction? have you noticed any difference?

 

[WandersX]

So to answer question #1.
It is extremely tight in the front. But it fits and no clipping or touching. They were designed for this as it mentions on the site.

For question #2!
The brake reduction has been noticeable. It seems to keep the rims a little cleaner than usual. I usually wash my car, once a week at least. I have noticed a huge difference in how dirty the rims used to be and how dirty they get now.

Sweet Ride!

All your mods are well done!

 

[WandersX]

Thanks!

Also wanted to mention this one little find. They are custom color Anodized wheel caps. They were like 2 dollars. I really enjoy the look of them. You can see the view of them up a couple posts where I show the calipers. Hope this helps!

love the caliper covers, but 180, lil' steep. I would love some black ones maybe there is a different brand with a more reasonable price, I'll have to look around maybe some from another car will fit also. About how thick would you say they are 3-4mm maybe.
Awesome ride though. I wanted black but I would have had to wait like 3 months to get the SX version so I went with silver. By the way are your tail lights tented also I couldn't really tell but they look clean.

Not sure if you have seen that site recently but they also do different colors in black. But if I were to recommend one thing it would be to not go through that company. So much hassle and the delivery took 3 weeks....

Yeah my tails are tinted. I used three coats of Nightshade. I'll post a picture of them when I get home later. Can't really tell with my lights on.

WandersX those caliper covers look really good! Reminds me of the Brembos on the Evos and Genesis Coupes. I was thinking about getting some for my Koup, how easy are they to install?

 

[WandersX]

Take less than 5 minutes once you get the wheel off. That is definately an upside to them. They look so clean also and add a very nice look. What color car are you driving Rock?

just curious- did you order them from carid? or any of ther other places on line (including the manufacturer)?

 

[WandersX]

Car ID because it was cheaper. I noticed that the other sites are more customizeable and different colors but a little higher in price. May be worth it...
