......Ouch !!!

 

+ 1
That just about sums it up for me.

 

Be nice Mrphotoman. The caliper covers add approximately 10 hp, while your headlamp eyebrows only add 5 or so... Happy holidays everyone!!

 

saw something similar on ebay:

Those Brembo caliper covers actually looks really good. Anybody tried or have experience with them?

 

Test pilot promised to post photos up, but I haven't seen them anywhere.

Just thought I would inform you that the caliper covers for the Crossfire have been developed and now available.

SRT-6 as well.


Thank you.

 

Do you know pricing yet. I'm getting ready to paint my front and rear calipers. If these covers look good and are not to high priced might go that way.

I don't want to get any heat from the mods, but the info is on the website. It's already listed under the Chrysler section.

 

Here's a few teaser pics. Hope it is ok to post:

What can I say that expresses my thoughts and opinions without upsetting you too much.
Hmmm?
I'll have to think about that real hard.

 

There really isn't much you could say to upset me. Bring it.

 

I Kinda like 'em! May have to invest once I get my body work issue resolved.

 

Nice side skirts, are those a Dan Root special?

 

Not sure. You would have to ask the owner. He is a member of this forum, but I don't know his "handle".

 

Fronts are very interesting. I spoke with this company OVER a year ago after word got out they were going to sell them. At that time they had no interest in the Crossfire due to "not very popular" a statement that kinda P'ed me off being they look like the side of a frying pan with little sheet metel tabs on the back.
How much sizing ccould have actually been needed...
The rear ones miss the boat.
I have used caliper covers for over a year now.
I just don't post enough photos which I will do this weekend if I can get the Gallery working.

I probably feel the same way you do . And I'll say this politely...I appreciate that there is a new product available for the Crossfire, but...I'll pass.

 

You would be surprised at how much is actually involved to develop these. The plates for each forming die alone for each plate costs a few thousand dollars. Then there's new bridges, new stainless steel clips, and of course, CNC programming.

We try to accommodate every vehicle request, but please understand that we get 20 or more requests every day for applications we do not have. Obviously from a business stand point, we have to start with the vehicles that have higher production numbers.

We would have developed them sooner, but we had a tough time finding a Crossfire locally.

 

There aren't many products that capture 100% of the market. And remember, we developed them due to requests from your community. Be nice.

 

Greetings forum members! Test fitter here, wanted to chime in on the caliper covers. I've had them on since late December but have been traveling quite a bit and haven't had time to post my impressions and pics.

First of all, thank you Ben and MGP for making these for our beloved cars and choosing my car as the test fitter. The product is top shelf, really well made (aluminum) and visually appealing, especially in person. I got the SRT engraving, which came out fantastic! Yeah, they won't provide you with more stopping power. I'm not trying to fool anyone into thinking I've got a big brake kit, that's not the point. I just love the design of them and how they visually enhance and fill in the wheel and makes it really pop. It's really no different then painting your calipers! I know a lot of you are not a fan of these. That's fine. Like everything in life, it's not for everyone. It's just funny to me when someone makes a moronic comment about the product and their car is modded out with headlight eye brows, aftermarket grille, etc., etc. Don't hate, don't be a hypocrite. To each they're own, do what you want with your car.

I'll post some pics later today...

PS - My Dad loves the covers on my car so much, he just ordered a set for his M3! Go figure...

 

OK, first...it IS different than painting your calipers. After painting calipers, they still LOOK like calipers. These DO NOT look like calipers. That's what turned me off to them. It's like seeing a girl from waaay across the room and thinking "she's kind of cute" and then you get a closer look and say "oh...nevermind".

Like you said, not everyone is going to fall in love with these and I kind of understand you coming to the company's defense since they tested them on your car (and you probably got them for free). However, it's not cool of you to call someone a moron because they do not like this product and mod their car to their liking (as you do yours).

If you like them, great, more power to you. But be respectful of other people's opinions, mkay?
