Default brake caliper problems

I recently bout some red brake caliper covers for my 2006 v6. I also ordered the spacers after figuring out thy were needed. Now tht i have everything on my back calipers squeek when i drive down the road. Im not sure if it is the clips or if i need bigger spacers. Anyone have any ideas wat could b the problem?

I have some for my GT. The back squeaked on mine too. I actually had to file the clips that held onto the caliper bracket. Just needed to make them a lil thinner.

Look for where it touches, get a file, then rub on it back and forth till it's good lol. Or, you could just do the easy thing and go buy you a $10 dollar can of red high temp caliper paint and paint them yourself. It's really not hard...
