I just installed these red brake caliper covers from CTmods and I was worried they'd look like a big 'fake' cover but they actually look really nice IMO! They make pop against the gloss black PPF just like a Plaid S or X would! I really dig them! Has anyone else installed these on their truck? I'm curious to see how they look on other exterior colors (including stainless).

Here's a video I made of the installation:

I installed some from a different vendor but same manufacture. I did not put that diamond sticky that marks the brand. I think it looks better leaving it product color. You have a thin margin between the caliber cover and tire rim rubbing. It has to be installed right. I have driven up to 80mph with out issue.

Yellow looks better than ai would think, too those look nice! Yes the diamond accent was a "let's see what it looks like first, I can remove it later" kind of thing. The stock wheels don't show too much so the pop of color is the only thing that comes through ?
I opted to keep the decals off of mine but the black on the yellow looks good on yours. Did you keep your truck stai less or is it wrapped?

I kept it stainless for now…Saturday installing the monitor swivel kit which is something you should look into.

Everything was better than I was expecting actually. They're aluminum and the screws snug up well but I'm going to re-check them in a week to see if they loosen up any. A drop of locate at the ends might bring additional peace of mind but they snug up and hang tight as-is.

POR 15 caliper paint from Amazon is 28bucks. When applied properly it will last years, I will be doing mine next week.

It would be good if they made a caliper cover prepped for paint but unpainted so you could paint it any color you want and avoid the hassle of paint prep.

I'm also interested in the monitor tilt/swivel accessory.

I used this clear gloss ceramic paint which worked very nice. I resprayed twice over the stickers.
