Default Best price for these caliper covers ???
Decided to buy caliper covers for my 88 instead of painting mine. Really like the look of these by MGP. Found them on Ebay - best price of 179.00 for set of 4. Anyone know of a place with a better price? or have a set of nice used ones for sale? Thanks, Bill

That could be the better route to go. How do they attach? They would be a lot easier to keep clean just pop them off.

Brackets fit over top and bottom of calipers with a threaded stud on it - pretty slick and sturdy ...

When you get those done you can get this fake blow off valve. People will think you have a nice brakes and a turbo.
