I was able to remove my MGP caliper covers and install my new CCI caliper covers on Saturday. I took the opportunity while I had each of my SRT wheels off to give them a good cleaning too. Before getting to the pictures let me provide my thoughts on the pros and cons of each type of caliper cover. And before I forget, what do you guys think of the yellow calipers with my Octane Red and gloss black wheels? I'm quite pleased with the look.
MGP caliper covers
Pros: Very well constructed, the ability to customize them pretty much any way you like, nice powdercoat finish and the brackets mount to the caliper very securely.
Cons: Really the only con I have is that the flat surface really doesn't look like a performance brake caliper, they are pretty plain and basic. They certainly cover up the OEM calipers and make them look better, but they are not three dimensional.
CCI caliper covers
Pros: Look three dimensional from the side, have the appearance of a performance brake caliper, attach easily to the caliper using included magnets, customizable and are well constructed out of aluminum.
Cons: Not made from as heavy gauge material as the MGP calipers, but that is not necessarily a bad thing since being flexible makes them easier to install, attach using magnets rather than mounting to a bracket which attaches to the caliper and are painted rather than powdercoated.
One other thing about the CCI caliper covers. The rear covers only came with one magnet, while the fronts came with two. I ended up adding two smaller magnets to the rear covers to more firmly attach them in place. Probably not everyone would feel the need to do this, but I wanted to make sure they didn't move from where I set them. I didn't feel like I needed to do that to the front since the front comes with two decent size magnets. I spoke with Ronnie as CCI about the number of magnets on the rear covers and he plans to look into that. He welcomes customer feedback. Now to the pictures.
