SteelTownStang Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I recently installed the MGP Cobra Engraved Rear Caliper Covers. I had already painted the calipers last year with the G2 Caliper PaintSystem and they still looked dull. While I wanted to spice them up some, I still wanted a subdued appearance without adding new calipers. Some don’t like the faux look, but I didn’t like the OEM look... Ultimately the MGP covers fit the bill. They definitely add a more finished look and match the front Brembos in size and appearance. A simple 20 minute mod.

SteelTownStang Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks good, I went with the red ones... Thanks. So does yours... Did you paint the front Brembos, or do they come in red on the KRs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcettner Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 Those are the Shelby/Baer Extreme brake package up front and Shelby/Baer Eradispeed+2 brake mod in rear. I'm amazed that I don't seem to have as much brake dust issues on the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIKEBOY Posted May 6, 2011 Report Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) I special ordered mine from MGP without snakes on them...black...then had them shipped through BangaStang. They were very cooperative with me at MGP, as they admitted that not everyone wants the snake. BTW- Very EZ install! High quality mounting hardware with lot's of thought going into the hardware. ....and Pat, your car looks very, very nice man! You do have very good taste in your modding. You have to be at or around 50? Chris Edited May 6, 2011 by BIKEBOY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiph Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yup, I liked the look of them too, and saved some coin over upgrading the breaks and going to 20's (though I would have like Red Calipers). I was posting about a jack when putting them on, and caught a pretty good pic of the caliper cover Linky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelTownStang Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 (edited) Yes... definitely cheaper... lol. Ever find out if your scissor jack would work w/a flat? Edited July 5, 2011 by SteelTownStang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maadbeats Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I was looking to get a red set of the shelby caliper covers but I read they dont fit the GT500?? Obviously some of you purchased and installed. I havent changed brakes or anything on a 2008 Gt500 but would love a set to add some flair. from shelby parts website "Applicatons: 2005-2011 Shelby and Ford Mustang. Except GT500s, Brembo or any Shelby big brakes." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
