Anybody use the MGP or GM caliper covers. I found some online that actually say "corvette" on them and I like the looker better than painting my stock calipers. I have a 05 c6 z51 package with the 18x8.5 and 19x10 rims....any fitment issues known?

 

Not sure what you mean as to the MGP or GM caliper covers. Maybe someone else can chime in. My stock C6 wheels were 18X8.5 and 19X10.

i edited the post, thanks for the correction on the wheels. As far as the mgp and gm...i just meant the 2 products. mgp makes their own set and GM has a licensed product as well, not sure if there is any difference though

 

Your front calipers already say Corvette on them.

 

To answer your questions about fitment - MGP does say their covers will fit your Z51 package.

As for the GM v. MGP - I am not aware of a GM Caliper Cover available, but the MGPs are GM licensed. I'd suspect that they are likely the same product.

Finally, concerning wheel fitment, there are 2 things to consider with the MGPs - one, you need at least a 17" wheel (which you have); two, you need at least 1/8 of an inch clearance between your wheel and caliper.

And as for the product itself - it's extremely easy to install. When they say 10 minutes per wheel, it really is about 10 minutes - including taking the wheel off if you've got an impact.

The best part about them, honestly, is the effort they save as opposed to painting your calipers. While your front calipers do say "Corvette" on them, you have to do some creative masking and expend some decent effort to keep them looking good if you paint them. And then you have to keep touching it up periodically. And if you want to powdercoat them, it's also not exactly easy.

Since the MGPs are powdercoated, their finish is much more durable than paint. And since they're easy to install/uninstall, you can even take them off during the winter months if you want to keep them looking as new as possible.

Hopefully this helps you make a decision. I wish we offered the Corvette logo ones, so I could offer you a discount on them, but at the moment we just offer the "MGP" logo ones.

 

I know but they are starting to fade and come off and I like the look of the covers

 

yeah i was ready to order them at your site, but noticed that you didnt have the "corvette" ones any idea if you will get those in stock?

 

Found them! Makes it look like have big brakes.

 

Not anytime soon, I'm afraid.

timd38 - Sure does, and it helps keep brake dust down too - did you see the pics on our site? We have a couple nice shots - though we don't have any pics with the logo on them, it really gives you an idea of what they look like.
