These gain you atleast 30 horsepower, maybe another 10 since they are red!

Are they available is other colors beside red, I wonder like black.

They have Black, Red, & Yellow. If you wanna spend more you can get custom paint color and engraving. I have Black on mine. Pretty sharp looking.

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?

Prolly cooler by using cooling fins, operate like heat sinks,
That sort of thing I think is how NASCAR cools red hot brakes.

I bought blue ones when they first came out and put them on my ‘23. The first set sent to me would not work. Apparently there is a difference with the calipers on an AWD 4k Tow Eco than the base brakes. They sent me a second set set and the front ones fit perfectly but treat brackets do not fit the calipers and they kept coming loose and rattled so I removed them and sent an email to their customer service, twice and got no response.

The small stainless steel brackets don’t fit the caliper profile

Some red thread lock would have solved the nut loosening. Maybe heat and bend that bracket to fit the caliper so it mounts up a little better. But for that kind of money they should be no issues.

If you bend the metal to fit the profile, the bolts won’t line up with the cover holes. I tried a little but didn’t want to mess them up and the mfg co say I damaged them. I paid $400 and they should fit perfectly. The lock washer should keep them tight and they did but vibration made them slip off of where they needed to stay put. The front ones fit perfectly.

I used color matching G2 caliper paint on the mustang; 15 years and 150k miles still look great. Cost was 75 bucks and an afternoon of labor. I just checked G2 site. Custom color matching is now $130.

I used metal zip ties on the back and worked great.

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.

Unless I missed it, do you have a link for where they came from?

Looked at the MGP which I have bought before and found Rvinyl caliper wraps for $32. I might try beats $300. I need to look at Maverick caliper shape before I pull trigger.

Type MGP caliper covers into Google or Safari. That will bring up their website

Is your maverick a eco with 4k tow? I think the brakes are different to do towing
