Frankie has those on his car. It's a Jersey thing.

It's as ghetto as buying VSXX hub caps..

There's a reason you haven't seen them on a G. Keep it that way. Keep your class, or we'll kick your a*s. -__-

Just so you know... if anything, a caliper cover is likely to decrease your cars braking performance by holding heat in and blocking airflow to and out of the brakes.

So if you like spending money on mods that do nothing but sap your car of performance, go for it.

If they are made of plastic, wouldn't they MELT if the brakes got hot enough? Not worth the risk if you ask me. Plus, how embarrassing would it be if someone called you out on it?

I have em on my car but they dont look that bad since my stock calipers are black and i blacked out the covers including the brembo logo, so they blend in. Definitely helped with the brake dust. Now they always look clean

, I saw this website and they looked cool but when I checked for reviews found nothing , it's mpg caliper covers and there not plastic , it's suppose to cover the wheels from the brake dust, but I kinda wanted to see them on a g first , and ask how effective this things are ...So if anyone has them I just wanted to see a picture that's all....

That's why we here because we love our car and to share experience ..

Don't do it, they're "Fugly" and there's already too much heat going on to cover your calipers....Gary

Definitely a big no, in my opinion. Just save up for a proper brake setup.

There are 2 kinds. There are the simple colored ones that fit over the regular OEM calipers and they are decent looking. Then there are the huge fake BBK looking ones that are just terrible looking and ricey. If you go with the 1st set it wldnt look too bad but if that's the case you might as well just paint your stock calipers. If you do the latter... Sell your G and buy a rice rocket.
