Looks good! They really make the wheels pop. I put these on mine back in Feb and it does seem to help with brake dust. As for ease of installation it's pretty straight forward. Just be sure the clips are square with caliper and they go right in.

Took them up to my tire place and let them do it.....they charge me $40.00 bucks to do it......I just did not feel like removing each wheel and doing it myself...They were very good to make sure they were aligned and looking good.... took them about 30 minutes once the car was up.

Really pretty easy once you get that first one on. The rears did seem to take a little more effort.

+1 for the caliper covers on the V6, our brake calipers are dinky looking even painted, works better to do the covers and save some brake dust at the same time.

I like these. They look great. On my LS SIM I like my stock silver calipers, they look great with the black wheels and SIM of the car. Once my calipers start looking old, I will probably over them.

FYI you can get the MGP's in pretty much any color you want.
