Brake caliper covers
 
Hello, I wanted to put brake caliper covers on my 2014 V6. If anyone has had them can you tell me if there are any downsides and how I can go about installing them?

I think the install is pretty simple and straight forward if you put them on. There is an installation on that link, as well as youtube videos you can use.

I would paint them either red or paint them to match your car. My .02.

Could these cause any problems with the brakes?

no, they are designed for this.

I was part of another thread regarding these. If you do a google search you'll see quite a few folks have issues with them rubbing the rotors and getting a pretty bad noise. I have the matte black ones & it took a bit of time to get them on where they didn't rub.

Don't get me wrong, I love the look - just that they may not be 'plug 'n play'. Personally I don't care for paint - I was considering getting a spare set of calipers and having them power coated.

Very nice! The MGP Caliper covers look great. If you don't have the factory brembos, the stock brakes aren't the prettiest thing in the world. These Caliper covers definitely change the look of your brake and wheel set up!

The installation is very simple. We have Installation Guides on the product page and our CS team is more than happy to help you with any questions you may have.

I hope this helps!

The install is simple and you MIGHT get a weird noise. It's as simple as bending the clips to allow more clearance. Had to do that to mine and was less than an hour for install and now I have no weird noises. Love them!

Let me save you future embarrassment and money by saying, don't put faux calipers on your car! It's rice.

100 bucks at the dealership and they will prime (acid etch) and paint them any color you want.
