MGP caliper covers and HAVOC wheels

[OSUPride16]

Does anyone have MGP caliper covers with havoc bright chrome wheels. My dealer told me the caliper covers wouldnt fit on my 2SS (they scrapped)?????

Why would you want to put cheap crappy caliper covers on your Brembos? Just paint them.

I put on the covers and they don't look cheap. They actually serve two purposes. When I taken the car to the track, they helpmcool my brakes, and theycut a lot of the brake dust down by diverting it to theinside ofnthe wheel. Keeps my rims much cleaner.

don't know who told you that but they could not be further from the truth, how are they cooling better if you are basically cutting all air flow to them?, if they gave you the reason that the covers are made of aluminum and aluminum disipates heat better that is all your Brembo calipers (and most calipers now a days) are made of aluminum, why do they need another cover made of aluminum to cool them faster, and I would not want to go to the track with calipers covers, one of those things come off and you would have major damage in your hands.

the dust reason might be true but not worth it to cover up beautifull Brembo calipers,

but that is just my $0.02 if you guys like them more power to you, but there is cero performance benefits at all

I'll also call on the cooling part. For the dust, get rid of those crappy stock brake pads and get a set of hawk pads. They reduce brake dust significantly!!

Hello TaylorRyan

you sent me a message. I cannot communicate at the moment so this is the best I could do.

The kit will come with a can of brake cleaner spray.

It took about 5 - 10 minutes per coating per wheel. went around to each wheel 4 times. non stop. so a little over 20 - 30 minutes per coat.

or over an hour to two for the entire project.

What paint do you use? Do you spray them, brush them? Do you take the calipers off or leave them on?

I used the G2 Caliper paint in orange. I did not take them off when I painted them. Here are some final shots.
