Wondering if anyone got some custom brake calipers. Would look sick on the wolf gray and red interior with some red calipers.

If you are keeping your stock 18 in wheels, the caliper covers may not fit due to lack of space between caliper and the wheel. I spent $240.00 and had my powder coated. You can also paint them with dupli color caliper paint.

I ended up going with the MGP caliper covers and honestly love them. They were having a sale at the time and I got them for $240 including engraving on them. The front ones went on perfectly, the back ones needed a slight adjustment with the bracket. But overall I am very happy with them and would recommend!

how did you get your trim above the doors and everything matte black like that? Or did it come that way? Mine has chrome strips instead

You also lowered the rear? I did the chrome delete also but went with a gloss black wrap. What else have you done?

I have 2023 and looking into the MGP caliper covers. I contacted MGP and they stated that since the covers were designed for the 2021 and 2022 years, the could not guarantee fitment. Assuming not much has changed as far as wheel and caliper size from 2022 to 2023, I might just get them. What kind of slight adjustment did you have to do to the rear bracket to get them on?

I’m thinking of using these as well. Since you’ve had them on for while are you still happy with them ?
