Default Custom Caliper Covers Sample

We have done many custom jobs, but this one is my favorite so far. Grabber Orange with Mr. Vader special engraving. This really shows off what we are capable of doing.

I dont wanna be the bad guy, but those photos look photoshopped. Why dont you just take a picture of the parts with a solid background and let the work speak for itself?

Only if its good work though. Otherwise, whats the point .

That seems a bit harsh to me... Who doesn't photoshop photos these days? Everyone does, else I would be out of business.

Eventually I'll be getting custom ones for my car, I'll be sure to post a review of them at that point... I am painfully honest

Your right, I did cut out the ugly background from the covers. This looks more professional and the background does not interfere with the product.

The covers offers an option to personalize your car in way that is very different from other styling products. I think this picture does speak for itself.

Im sorry. I reread my post and it does seem harsh. Not my intention. I agree. The product you are selling is very nice, and a very good idea. Just stating, if you photoshop the background, whose to say the parts arent photoshopped as well. In my opinion, a good close-up of these parts on the car will do more to sell than a photoshopped, slightly fake looking picture.

Good luck. good idea.

We got our custom ones today. We had our set made with our Grand Design Mat logo and look great. These guys are great to work with and I think they have a good item. Keep up the good work.

These look fantastic. I just have one question...Mr.Vader is a triple black stang. Why did he opt for orange covers? Unless there is another Mr. Vader then please accept my apology.

Default MGP Caliper Covers Custom Engraving

Hey Phil,

Thanks for the compliment. We've done many custom engraved Caliper Covers and everyone that has a set is very happy with them.
Here's some photos of a custom engraved set that on a GT500, his
license plate matches.

I've been a gearhead for a long time and I own a '06 GT. There is nothing better than having your car in a show with an accessory that
few have and taking home a trophy.

I've owned many cars and painting my calipers was never fun and the paint never stayed on and I always followed the instructions. MGP Caliper Covers fills a void for the car enthusiast that doesn't
want the hassle of painting their calipers and then having to
repaint them over and over again like I had to.

Looks good but the price of $95/set for stock colors seems pretty steep to me. Also, why is yellow a "custom" color?

Hey Vulcan,

Our MGP Caliper Covers are made out of 6061 T-6 aluminum,
TIG welded and powder coated. Powder coating is a process that has a great deal of durability. To paint our Caliper Covers in the OEM Ford Mustang colors is more time consuming and costly.
