I finally pulled the trigger on a set of MGP Caliper Covers after long debating. I went with Black so they didn't stand out as much! The whole process took me 1 hour to install including cleaning the wheels and torqueing the lugs.

I paid $169.00, delivered with no sales tax from CAR ID. I used a discount code "Military"

It looks like I am going to keep them on!

I am curious to know your thoughts, thumbs up or thumbs down!

 

I think they look clean...
I have a feeling you may get flamed for them, but honestly, if you love it, that's all that matters. Gorgeous car and color choice btw.

 

Your car...your money

 

They don't look half bad in black. They actually look pretty good.

 

nice car but god dam man. $30k+ car with fake caliper covers? they dont belong on 92 civic let alone that beautiful car

you asked for opinions my bad

 

Two thumbs up on the CBP and HPT wheels.

One thumb down on the caliper covers...at least they're not red.

 

Aesthetically I think the look nice, but you would be better off just painting them with a high resistant paint.

 

I think they look very nice. In fact you got me thinking. What is involved with the install?

 

love the idea of caliper covers, but hate how those look..

 

A bit ricey there.....sorry get real brakes and not make them look like real brakes. LOL

Plastic too, I am not sure how well they will handle the heat when the brakes actually get hot if you do sprinted driving. Plus I am willing to bet it blocks some of the airflow to the pads.

 

^^^ THIS

they look good IMO and look cleaner than just a caliper/blob of black high heat paint on there but the only thing which worries me is how well will they handle heat/dissipate heat and allow the pads to cool down....

all in all, i think they look good

 

i'd rather spend that 170 bucks on a rear upper spoiler and the roll up window module.... but thats just me..

 

The installation was very easy. There are 2 clips that hold on the covers. The wheels have to be removed. The covers are made from metal so they will not melt. In addition, I think it does help keep the brake dust off the wheels. I am not sure if i will be keeping them on. I love the controversy on these forums, everything is subjective!

 

you asked for it, we gave it to you

 

agreed!

They dont stand out too much, unlike my ultra rusty calipers and rotors

 

they look great on your car i alos have them and get lots of compliment

 

So true but for me BBK or nothing.

 

Looks nice. Been thinking about the stainless steel option for my '12, haven't pulled the trigger yet.

 

 

Hey, I like mine too & have 11” multi-piston calipers, real brakes, under black ones. Thought the “they are plastic & will melt comment” was pretty good

 

My Favorite Comment is PotMilk'z Rice Picture ....Good Job!

 

Not too bad in the black color.

 

I ordered a set for my miata with custom color. Going to do the TL the same next month.
The more I look at it the more I like it. They don't look anymore rice, then the window spoiler to me.

 

Boring

The crazy stuff you guy do to these cars like making then so low that u cant go over a speed bump and can't carry passenger in the rear seat because it rub, but you want to call some caliper covers RICE

 

Um these aren't fake they're customized. Fake one's are on ebay (brembo) plastic. I think you were thinking about calipers its self. Just my opinion.

 

What is the roll up window module?

 

See last item on this page.

It allows you to roll your windows up the same way you can roll them down...with the keyfob. Though I don't know how much use it is if it doesn't also close your sunroof. With that said I wish there was a way to disable the sunroof opening when using the keyfob.

 

The cover itself doesn't look too bad to me, but I think the bolts are way too visible and that part makes it look kinda cheap. Maybe paint those to match the rest of the surface?

 

They don't look half bad. I actually like it. Personally, I'd go the really cheap route and paint them black (wich I plan on doing). OP, after almost a year do you still have them on? How do they hold up?

 

Most of those modules the TL already has. I do like the shift light module though. It can come in handy for MT owners or those that like to be in the "s mode" for AT.

 

Those covers are so rice. Not like the glued on rear window spoiler that helps with downforce.

 

so basically, anything below ones standard is considered rice? fuck the bullshit, anything that isnt the most expensive upgrade should be considered rice. go all out or nothing.

 

doing ANY upgrade to make the car looknicer and more expensive than it really is.... RICE.

 

someone had to settle for keds instead of reeboks as a kid. I can just feel the angst.

 

your partially correct.. the 4g windows can be rolled down with remote.. but cannot be rolled back up.. the kp lets you roll windows back up with the remote fob
