Hey all I' ve been looking for some red brake caliper cover but the ones I see are very expensive. There's the MPG which are about 200 bucks and the fake Brembo covers which I'M not a fan of the dummy bleed nipple etc. so does anyone know where I can get a decent caliper cover? Even a no brand one as long as fake nipples aren't installed.

 

Why not just paint your calipers

 

Why do you want brake caliper covers? For looks? Better to paint the OEM calipers with caliper paint (heat tolerant).

I would paint them, covers just look too poser for me. I used Duplicolor on mine but if I were to do it again, I would give the G2 product a try. If you are totally committed to covers I think you can get them at the same place where you buy those dummy cell phone antenna mounts from the 90's.

Duplicolor is good.. I decided to powder coat which became WAY expensive. Trust me, paint. Covers are lame.

 

I say no to covers. I see no purpose to the MGP covers at all. I personally am on the fence about event painting the calipers. I might eventually do mine but it me it is even a hair poser-ish. This is in no way an insult of those who have chosen to do theirs. I like the cool pop of color there, but I just never want to look like I am trying to me more than I know I am (ie: pretend I have JCW brakes when I know I don't).

 

Covers could also retain heat. Brakes like to cool.

 

^^^ Ding ding ding. Alex is the winner. Caliper covers are one dumb idea. Hot brakes fail.

 

I currently have them painted, and wanted to know my options since they got so dirty but update I changed the oem brakes to red ebc and I've been seeing way less, if any dust. I didn't know they couldn't tolerate the heat so thanks for all of the advice, I will have them painted again. PS really not going for a poser look.

 

Thanks for the link! By the way I purchased the wheels you recommend a few month back :D. And I'm just going to paint them.

 

So I currently have orange paint on the calipers and I want to change the color should I use paint thinner? Or apply another coat over it?

 

Pass on the covers

 

I think you all should have just said HELLS NO! :snapping fingers: lol
