Kick *** video. Now I have a question. How does it reduce caliper temperature ??


Now a comment. You could essentially change the look of your car in a matter of 1 hour or less by going from one set to then next.

What colors are available ??

Default MGP Caliper Covers

Our MGP Caliper Covers are available in 3 finishes powder coated in red, black and a satin clear coated finish for $200.00 for a set of 4. We also
offer our Caliper Covers in custom painted to match colors, give us your paint
code and we will paint them to match your Vette for $300.00. Custom engraving is also a option.

Our MGP Caliper Covers act as a heat sink and pulls heat away from the caliper. Our product is made from 6061-T6 Aluminum. Here's our video
with our heat test.

I just ordered these in red for my WS6....

I will post a thread on them including before/after, installation review, etc.

I have seen them on other bright red T/As and they look pretty good but I have heard they can look kind of big/corny/cheap/fake....

I have also heard that the "heat sink" qualities are a gimmick.

We shall see.
