MGP Caliper Covers installed

boatman · Feb 9, 2025

Installed my MGP covers. Took longer to remove and put back the wheels than to install the covers, lol. I thought they just looked cool, but found out they also help reduce heat and break dust.

Brake dust and looking nice I understand. What I don't understand is how enclosing a brake caliper helps keep it cool ..

They do look nice.

Nice tires too. How quiet are they on the highway?

Those are claims by MGP, we'll see how they do. I definitely like the looks. The tires are from the factory and seem to be as quiet as anything out there.

Those are stock factory tires, boy did I get screwed with my Pirelli’s.

These trucks ain’t gonna be doing that kind of speed to be getting insanely hot.
I would have rather taken the calipers off and powder coated them.

Agreed, I do mine in OEM Oxford White if I had a Jack and Jack stands.

$300 for caliper covers?!?! HARD pass

Reduce heat? If anything these would prob make the calipers get even hotter as its restricting airflow

Had on my old Explorer, loved the look and just thinking last week I need to look at getting for my Maverick.

Those look much better than coated calipers, IMO. Our OEM calipers are not attractive in any color...

Since they are made of aluminum, I could see a possible scenario where they act as a kind of "heat sink" on the caliper, if it got hot enough, but I doubt there is any significant temperature benefit. I think at half the price, I could justify the value for the looks, but I can't connect the dots for $300. They do look good tho.
