MGP Caliper covers for 2013 SHO?

[Bigfoot]

I will poke you in the eyes if you put those on your car!

They are as bad as a zip infested tween with a NOS sticker on his NA 1983 Civic.

just reminded you of your thread about under glow leds......pot....kettle=black SHO?

I wanted to get some of these until I read that you have to use wheel spacers. There is something unsettling about spacing my wheels out on a car that goes 140 MPH regularly. Maybe I'm just overly cautious.

Where do you drive more then double the national speed limit? LOL

The spacer is about the thickness of 3 pennies...if that.

Yes the are only 3mm and that was with the cars that had the brake TSB done. I believe it is only the 2010 cars.  I have the spacers and have experienced no negative affects from them. They install easily and you can't tell they are on.  I am not sure that you need them if you have a car newer then a 10.  I really like mine, they have remained good looking and have cut down the amount of brake dust I experience on the wheels.  Plus I think they make the caliper area look a lot cleaner.

I first painted my calipers red.  Have done this with many GM cars with great results.  Flex calipers started peeling immediately.  So.. I got out my wire brush and really roughed everything up, cleaned everything and re-painted.  This time it took a couple months for the peeling to start.  Gave up and bought Red caliper covers.  No fitment issues with my TSW wheels, but haven't tried my ASA's.  Removed when I went to stock wheel at Christmas.  I still have lots of brake dust with my Stop Tech front pads.

I kinda expect to see more brake dust when I change from the stock pads.  So EBB what did you of the quality of the covers?  I know I was pleased with their quality.

You drive double the posted speed limit on a dyno

Good Point!  Well taken!

They are well made.   And... easy to take off if necessary.  A 3mm spacer is no big deal.  I run those on my G8 for my Drag Slick wheels.  Beyond that size, you need longer wheel studs per TireRack.
