Brake Caliper Covers or Paint?
 
So I was looking into changing the color of my v6 brake calipers. I don't know which method to use. Should I get MGP Break Covers, or use the G2 Paint? Also, I know I will probably get some heat for this but I was thinking of changing to verde ithaca green (the bright lamborghini green) or Monte Carlo blue (same color for brakes on the new bmw m5) and my last choice was red. My car is all black and I thought it would look pretty good imo with any of these colors. Any suggestions?

Can you send me a pic of the white one?

I just ordered a set of 1LE brakes and will be selling my red MGP calliper covers. PM me if interested!

Brembo swap and paint would look the best imo

Haha, me and you both. I'll have my black covers on here. I'd never put covers on Brembos, but for the V6 brakes I think the MGP covers look awesome!

I got the red MGP covers, they really stand out. I'm pretty sure places like Summit sell them painted in different colors also for an added cost of course.

MGP Covers Don't Fit!
 
Just tried to install a set of MGP Caliper Covers on my 2010 and they wouldn't clear my American Standard rims. Any suggestions? Do I just seem to have one of the few rims that won't work with these covers? I liked the idea of keeping brake dust down in addition to the looks, but I may have to just paint my calipers red and live with the dust.

what if you paint it . would it still look good being red ?

Goo 05-13-2013 02:09 PM

I'd paint them... or powdercoat, but no covers. just my opinion.

inf3rno 05-13-2013 02:16 PM

I'd paint them and rather than spending 200$ bucks for that.

Eventually you can upgrade to SS Brembos
