Default XE Caliper covers

Just bought a 2017 XE R-Sport. Love the look, but think the calipers need a little attention. After checking around, it looks like no one makes covers. The only main company seems to be MGP. Anyone find an alternative. Thanks

I just had mine painted, added decals, then cleared.

Talked to a guy from MGP and they need an XE owner in the Southern California area who is willing to work with them to develop a new product.

Don't put on caliper covers. There are no benefits and will make the caliper operating temperature hotter and decrease performance.

With either caliper covers or painting the calipers, there is no benefit other than being purely cosmetic.

If you decide to paint them, spend some time with the Dremel to remove the casting lines.
