Google MGP Caliper Covers....I've got a set and for $199.00 you can get a set.
Just temporary for me......I'm getting mine powdercoated. Cuts down some on the brake dust, you'll still have some. Also, check out Mike The Powder Coater on the forum |

I painted mine. You can get caliber paint pretty much any color you want. I mixed mine to match my yellow/gold stripes. Some day I'm going to have my son show me how to post some more pictures on here. LOL

Paint your calipers. Don't use the covers. Waste of money.

I have a set I will be selling in about two weeks when I paint my calipers.
I would recommend that you go ahead and paint your calipers. I wish that I would have went that route to begin with. |

Guys he clearly said to cut down break dust.
OP, you COULD powdercoat them and replace your pads with ceramic.

Only reason why I don't wanna go the ceramic route was because I heard that cuts down on performance and yes I really don't care about looks I just want to get ride of break dust as much as possiable but not lose performance. If that's not possiable then that's fine I guess we can't always have the best of two worlds

Ceramic will be less dust for sure. Just ck out Hawk,EBC and others. If u want good looking calipers have them Powdercoated. My .02

You guys that paint your calipers how do you prep them first? Do you paint them while they are on the car or do you remove them? If you painted them on the car how hard was it to mask everything off so you didn't get over spray on anything.

Did on my old LT. Just mask off everything and anything that may get overspray.Was lazy at the time and did them on the car.I used the ceramic spray kit from Pep boys for the calipers. worked fine
