I had to look and it was not functional!

I never liked those MGP caliper covers. They are uglier than the stock non brembo brakes. I do like these 3D versions a lot though. However, I don't know how well they would hold up over the long term.

I forgot to put sarcasm tags, there's no way it could be useful that small and that high up the hood!

Those are much more convincing, however I think the principle that they are only good for a DD and not for shows/meets still applies. Just not for me, but those actually look good as opposed to the flat ones.

They are under the false impression that I reserve and care for opinions from anonymous people online. It's mostly funny than sad.

A friend of mine bought the 3D versions from eBay for a subaru. They are classic eBay trash and do not fit anything they claim to fit. They were also cheap plastic and basically mounted on the caliper using double sided tape.

I acknowledged that he had Brembo's and said he shouldn't cover them. Maybe YOU should read the thread.

You did ask for peoples opinions, so what exactly were you expecting people to post? I also think they are hideous and a waste of money. Save the money for something that'll actually do something beneficial for your car.

the covers are the easy way out...very easy and less then doing it the right way.. power coated or painting them will cost you almost double then the covers.. a lot of people cant wait to do it right the first time.i have seen these covers at car shows and people have them in my club..mine are painted jet stream blue

Noob question, do all V8 vamaros 2010 and up have Brembos? I bought my SS a few month ago but all the badges vinyl ect have been removed. I dont have leather seats or a 4 guage pod. They only thing i have on the car that says SS is the headrests. It has Brembos though.

Hijack - ha ha ...
Yes, Grey Brembos on the SS (1SS). The 2SS adds Leather seating surfaces, HUD, 4 gauge pack, rear-park assist, and Boston Acoustics 9 speakers. You can fairly easily add the 4-pack gauge set to your 2010 for about $200 if you shop carefully (although the location in cosole is so low that I rarely look at them). You should feel lucky you don't have the 2SS goodies/bling, they add weight and just slow you down!

Now back to topic ... ;-)

Brake covers will cause your brakes to retain heat.

the dealership was trying to get me to buy the last 1ss they had on the lot at the time.. there was know way i could not have the leather and 4 pack. i just love the way it looks in the car not sure they are that Accurate but it did not matter i had to have them

These caliper covers look sharp - copied from above Post #16:
Be a fun project to thread in real fittings, actual hex bolts, maybe add actual brake lines to complete the 3-d effect.



On the OEM engine cover I drilled out the plastic fake bolts and put real black and stainless hex bolts in - makes it look like they really are doing something.
