    I have for sale a set of 2 MGP Caliper Covers (Red Powdercoat finish with silver bolts, and custom silver TRD logo engraving).

    These cost me 120.00 for the base set + 70.00 for the custom engraving + 15.00 Shipping
    =205.00 Total

    I am asking 150.00 OBO for these (plus buyer pays shipping)

    I do not have a picture of them on my truck as I never installed them, I opted to go a different look. But here is a reference pic of a set that is on a Tundra, that has Red w/ black engravings.

    I never actually installed them on my truck, but according to the manufacturer it does.

    Per MGP Website (www.calipercovers.com)

    Do the caliper covers trap in brake heat?

    MGP Caliper Covers actually reduce caliper heat. The Caliper Cover only covers the front of the caliper allowing all heat to escape up through the top of the caliper. Additionally, our product is thoroughly tested at the OEM level prior to our license agreements.

    Some of these tests include but are not limited to:

    Heat Soak testing

    Track testing (on-road)

    Track testing (off-road)

    Long-term road testing

    Stress testing

    Corrosion testing

    Do the caliper covers reduce brake dust?

    Many of our customers report a significant decrease in brake dust after installation of our Caliper Covers.

    They're powder coated aluminum caliper covers that fit over the caliper and bolt on

    Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh so it's just a cover to go over the existing caliper that is already there? How long should it take to put them on and any modification needed?

    No modifications, never installed on my truck but if you look online at videos they just mount over the caliper and have bolts/clips to attach.

    Noticed the site only goes up to 2012 as well. Wonder if any changes to the Calipers have been made since then

    I wanted these but after some research on their site. It states you can't use them with a rim smaller than 18 inches in diameter. Darn or darn. . . .Thanks for the quick response as I am out now... mine are 16 TRD Pro Rims.
