Have any of you guys seen or used this product?
They are caliper covers. I was thinking of painting mine red, but then came across this. They do seem pricey though.... $200.00 for a set of 4.

Great idea, but I couldn't see any on the site that said "Jeep"??

Nevermind, just saw the pull down tab where you can order them w/Logo's matching paint etc., etc. My bad.

They don't list them for the V6, only the V8. I believe the V8 has bigger brakes so I don't think the V8 ones would fit on my V6.

I got the Caliper Covers, they look great and keep the dust off the rims.

Hi Guys,

These look pretty good. I am new here and just picked up a 2012 Overland Summit in black and was thinking of doing this. It seems they are pretty easy to install and look good. Any issues so far with them? Did you order from MGP direct or get them somewhere else? How much by the way?

Thanks,

Joe

All the Brembo covers ive seen are plastic, and i couldnt find any that were specifically for the Jeep GC. i figured you would have posted a link scott?

Not a fan.

Painting calipers to add some color is one thing, but these kind of brake covers are designed to fool people into thinking that you have a multi-piston BBK set-up.

To each their own, of course. My opinion is influenced by years in the import car tuning scene, where one of the worst crimes you could commit was putting fake parts on your car. ;)

Dunno what you're talkin' bout dude.
I like the look of red calipers... I couldn't care less of multi piston whatever you said.

is their a caliper paint or just a BBQ grill paint :confused:
i think a black caliper would be kinda neat looking :thumbsup:

Last year Walmart was clearing out some blood red Dupont caliper paint, I think it was $15. I finally got around to do doing my calipers last weekend while changing to my summer tires/rims. It took a bit of time to prep the calipers but it gave me a chance to check over my brakes. They turned out fine but I will do a second coat in the fall.
$200 for these covers seems about $100 to high IMO.

FYI-the MGP caliper covers are not plastic...they are 6061 aluminum I think. Aluminum and engraving is not cheap....see Billet Tech.

You know, I think what's bothering about these is the Painted "faux" Bolts. They're just covers, and that's cool. I think it's these fake bolts that are making them "pretend" to be a big brake kit. Maybe just have the Logo without the painted bolts. Then they'd clean up the look, be attractive brake "covers", without trying to look like something they're not. Whatdoyathink??

Yeah, I think in Mineral Gray with the Jeep Logo in Silver (no faux bolts) would look cool.
