I been lurking on this thread. After seeing them installed I think I would rather paint mine. Its cheaper AND it is ALL over not just the front part that is seen.

I see those as maybe $80.00-$90.00 for 4 but NOT $200.00. Whatever the market will bear but not sure they will bear that for long. My $.02.

 

Looks good... but I'd only pay $100 tops..

 

Hey Johnnyd2723,

are interested we're offering a discount on our MGP Caliper Covers use coupon

I've owned several cars and painted too many calipers and from personal experience I've never been painted with the results from painting my
calipers, they look great at first then after a few weeks the paint starts to chip and peel.

Our MGP Caliper Covers are a quick and easy way of dressing up your wheels
and they installation is very quick.

There are several members here who have successfully painted their calipers and they look great.

Regardless, those covers are worth no more than $100, tops. And only then if the MGP logo is removed!

Anything and everything is only worth what one is willing to pay.

 

I personally can't justify the cost. I think they look good but they make the rotor look small. At that point, I think I would rather upgrade to a larger braking system.

 

Don't give me any ideas

 

With the $20 promo too $80 in black with no logo im in

 

now you need to paint the rotors :o

 

Optional rotor covers are $175 for the set of 4.

 

If that one is the only customer then you're right. You know of supply and demand right?

I've seen at least a dozen members who said "No way I'd spend $200, but I'd be in for $100", and so far I think you, maybe one other member have ponied up $200 to buy a set. At least you're the only ones to admit it!

So, 2 purchases at $200 for a grand total of $400

or 14 purchases at $100 for a grand total of $1,400.

There is absolutely no way you're going to convince me that there's more than $100 worth of material and labor going into making a set. So they'll be making a profit at $100 a set, just not as much as they want.

Even if it cost $75/set to make, they'd still make more money by selling them at $100 than at $200, at least around here.

Profit at $200/set = $125 x 2 sets = $250
Profit at $100/set = $25 x 14 sets = $350

There is absolutely no way you're going to convince me that there's even $75 worth of material and labor going into making a set for that matter.

I did but the paint doesn't seem to want to stay on. Maybe I'll put two coats of primer on next time.

 

I fixed it for you...........
