I've been wanting to either paint the calipers or install caliper covers. So... I opted to try some calipers covers. Although painting the calipers is definitely the way to go, it's time consuming and very difficult to remove. I found them very easy to install, and removable if needed.

I've had MGP covers on a few previous vehicles, but for the price and quality, I just couldn't go with them again for my Tremor.

Instead, I went with RC's new Caliper Covers. I was a little skeptical at first, but for the price you can't beat them. They also look way better than the MGP's.

Not only do they add some detail behind the wheels, they also definitely help keep brake dust off the wheels!

Have any pictures of further away, so we can get the full view of the truck?
 
How was the install?
Install was pretty straight forward. Cover clips on the bottom of the caliper and then there's a small tab and bracket on the top with one fastener. Kit comes with the tools required. So technically you don't need your own, but I found it helpful to use my own tools.

Installing of the actual covers took about 5 minutes per caliper. Jacking up the truck, removing the wheel, reinstalling the wheel, and torquing the wheels took the longest.

Here is a side shot, but they are hard to see because of the shadows. I'll get a better shot once the sun is down farther.

Site says they wont fit an F350 unless you have 20" wheels:cry:
I can confirm they will NOT fit with 18" wheels...not even close.

They don't add much thickness to the caliper on the aft (back) sides, but they do add quite a bit on the top and bottom.
