Caliper covers color poll
Does anyone know anything about MGP caliper covers? Do you own them? etc.
Here is their website: http://www.calipercovers.com/_e/dept...o_RS_LS_V6.htm I'm trying to decide between white or red.... Please look at the pics below and you guys vote on which one looks better. THANKS!!!!! |

Screw the covers...those things started out on Honda Civics and somehow made their way onto Camaros/Mustangs. Please...do the right thing. Paint them...it looks eleventy-billion times better.

Go with Red. I almost painted mine white a few weeks ago but figured they would be too hard to keep clean. Painted red instead. Looks great. just need to get Brembo stickers to finish it off.

Did you photoshop those in. I'm hoping they don't actaully look like that. Those look like plastic rectangles lol.
I'd go with white, but good luck keeping them clean |

No... I painted cardboard rectangles and scotch taped them in just to see which color looked best... You can see the actual products on the website I posted.

If you don't have an SS which I assume the OP does not then get the covers. It definitely keeps the brake dust off the wheels with the covers, I have them. I have an RS and thought about painting them but they would have looked like crap painted. If you have the SS the Brembos look good painted but on the RS I think the covers look better because they don't have Brembo calipers. Just My opinion, you can take it or leave it.

Looks really ugly in the pics,,no offense. Like everyone else said, just paint them in Hi-temp paint and you'll be set. I painted mine black.
