What are your opinions on these? I have a birthday in two weeks and I've already ordered a Carven Progressive from Nick and I want one more thing. Caliper covers would help I think because since I added my Rockstar 3s, you can see more of the braking system now. I figured I'd just go with the red ones with the RAM on it. They are $200 at Summit and I live 20 minutes from one of them. I am considering an HID kit too, but I have no experience with these so I'm a little nervous since I have the Spyder headlights. Any opinions would be appreciated!

I was just looking at these online yesterday, I plan on getting a set for mine unless others here say they are no good.

I've ran the MGP's covers on mine for the last 3-4 summers. This spring when I put them on they wouldn't tighten down properly and they would make contact with the rotor and have an obnoxious scraping noise. I tried several times to tighten them down, but they would drift right back and rub on the rotor. Perhaps new mounting hardware is instore, but for now I won't put them on again. Odds are I'll paint my calipers if I want that look.

Check in to LED headlight bulbs. I just put them in mine, highs, lows, and fogs, and they are rather impressive for $150.

I had caliper covers on my charger and loved them, they seemed to really make the car pop considering I had them color matched to the body color. I plan to get some for my RAM soon.

Where'd you get the lights from? I have the aftermarket projectors so maybe they'll fit

It says H11 is the stock fog number for the bulb. Is that the one? I got the high and low beams in the cart already lol

Just saw that Summit Racing has the MGP Calipers for $199. They have some camo colored versions marked down to $160.

I'm going to order a set without any bolt holes or lettering, just black. Should give a nice clean look to the wheel and brakes. Expensive yes, but over the life of my truck they will be a cheap add-on.

Yea I think I will get the red ones with the RAM. I think it'll look sharp with my truck color and the black wheels. I found some on eBay that were a carbon fiber color where the red is and then the lettering is red. Look sweet, but HIGH in price.

When I showed these to the wife, she said "ew, no". Well, today I'm out washing my car, UPS comes up, and theres a box. She ordered the covers for me for my birthday right after I sent her the picture haha now all I'm lacking is the Carven Progressive from Nick and my birthday presents will be complete!
