Just got my MGP Brake Caliper Covers but haven't installed them yet . I'll put them on next warm day here in the Illinois and post some pictures Dang me ! , I shouldn't have spent my wife's ss check ! My car is a sapphire silver blue , they should go good with the color

I've got a set of yellow Crossfire covers on my coupe. Bought the standard design to avoid added mark-up for custom work. These blue versions are "specials" with custom paint & lettering. Definitely a unique set!
Look on eBay for these caliper covers. Can usually find standard XFire versions at a reduced price. Make sure you look for covers for either the NA or SRT-6 models. Brake calipers are different!

Reason: Added background info
At that price you would really have to love them, that money would be better spent on a new battery and some oil.
I have a good battery and plenty of oil. What I don't have is caliper covers so not sure how buying more batteries and oil would be money
better spent?

My point is they are just bling, do nothing for the car and only fool the ignorant. For twice that money you could add SRT6 brakes. With the NA you can hardly see them anyway.
Your car, your taste.
Covers also retain heat; not what you want when you repetitively use your brakes. That is something to be mindful of. They do look great. I keep mine painted.
Thanks to all for your input. The way I drive brake heat is not an issue but MGP says they are designed to actually reduce heat here's a video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZABFN0Jl6QQ
and true they do nothing for the car but improve the looks but isn't it nice to fix up your car the way you want to and feel good about it.
I believe that ad is misleading. You have to take the temperature of the rotors and pads to see if they reduce heat (which I don't believe it will reduce, but may increase heat). All that ad does is show the outside temperature of the material they use to cover the calipers which I believe is just reflecting most of the heat inside those covers. Air is an insulator, if there is any airspace between the covers and the calipers, a lot of the heat will reflect back and/or flow around the covers. Check the temp's of the rotors and calipers, not exterior of a cover not originally part of the calipers. I believe you'll see an increase in temperatures on the covered side rotor and calipers..
