I used to work for MGP and the reason why it’s expensive is because the licenses the company has to pay to manufacturers. Us employees, would get 25% discount if we wanted to buy a set. For those who are wondering what position I was, I was the one using a laser cutter machine to get the shape of the caliper from sheets of aluminum.

I was wondering why some cheap 6061 sheet aluminum would cost so much? I didn't even think about the fact that they're licensing the name and logo to put on the calipers. I haven't looked into it but can't they just make unbranded caliper covers for way less? That's what I would want.

Your front calipers didn’t look too bad. That price tag on those covers is kinda steep. I’m thinking with a pattern and a few empty coke cans I could duplicate. Seriously tho, I been debating and I’m leaning toward painting with extra clear. Your paint job didn’t look bad at all

I have basically the same Honda in this vid. I know this video is a couple of years old. But I wanted to ask if the car still has the covers? if so, how are they holding up? And, I'm assuming you needed a brake job since the installation. Did you take the car in for brakes, and the mechanic removed the covers and reinstalled? I'm on the fence on buying the covers. Thank you for your time.

Levi MGP (MGP Caliper Covers) Oct 1, 2021, 1:14 PM PDT In order to align the covers properly on a vehicle's caliper to meet the mounting points you can push or pull the welded arms closer to each other or away from each other as required. Each arm is welded at the front plate but the rest of the arm is free to adjust without snapping. The arms are made of aluminum so they will take a stretch, see image attached for reference, thank you! Can you send us a picture that shows the incorrect fitment.

They look nice, but bro, that's a rip-off! I worked in a sheet metal factory for years. 6061 aluminum is good, but you're holding well under a hundred dollars worth in your hands. 2024 aluminum is the high quality, aerospace grade stuff. Once you have the press molds made it's cheap and easy to make tons of those and any leftover scraps of that 6061 aluminum are sold back to recycling so you hardly lose any money. Like I said I think they look nice but a smarter idea might be to figure out what they're painted with and just use that high quality paint for your calipers so they stay clean.
