Default Caliper covers installed
Just got back from tire shop, installation took an hour. Very simple procedure, good fit.

Will report on brake dust containment after a week or so.

Default Nice, Liquid!
they are great for brake dust too! Your black ones are a lot more subdued than my red ones.

Yep...I like the understated look of the Black ones for my Silver car...they go with it better, since the Red would be too contrasting for my car.

I am getting mine from andy@dldincusa.com

He was recommended by the MGP VP who makes the product, he has been very responsive so far.

I like the look of the red caliper covers. Great addition to your
automobile.

I believe its dldincusa.com but its down to upgrade I think. His email is good and he is usually fast to respond. Just let him know that you heard about him from Ram in Jag forums.
thanks

I purchased through Car ID. They also have a direct link to MGP. They coordinated the Custom Color Carnellian Red for my 2014 XJL

with them flawlessly.
