MGP Caliper Covers - A Great Alternative to Painting You Calipers


MGP caliper covers are made in the USA and are available in an unbelievable variety of colors and finishes, not mention that they can be custom engraved with logos or lettering of your choice. But, what exactly, are caliper covers?
In short, MGP began development of its covers in response to the situation which often occurs when restylers install large aftermarket wheels which revealed the area behind the wheel. Although these wheels are aesthetically pleasing they do expose the brake caliper which tarnished the look of the wheels and rims. And, in a stroke of brilliance, MGP Caliper Covers were born! Two features that you won't find on cheaper, plastic caliper covers are that they are removable for service and that they actually reduce caliper heat which could lengthen the life of your brakes! BUt, if they're not made of plastic what are they made of? You will be happy to know that they are made of aerospace grade aluminum. and are hydraulically formed to fit OEM brake calipers. Finishing touches which further distinguish MGP covers from the competition are CNC machine-engraved, TIG welded and powder coat finishes for long lasting durability.

The 1999 VW Jetta - Update a Classic for Under $50

The 1999 - 2004 VW Jetta is a classic car that has maintained its value due to its great build-quality and German-engineering. When seen from the vantage of today's auto aesthetic the 1999 Jetta may come off as a little boxy but it does so in that refined, Teutonic way that the Beamers of the 80s and early 90s rather than that of the mid-90s Accords or Tercels. What's more the ride of the Jetta seems to be the pefect combination of comfort and handling result in a driving experience that brings one closer to the road without punishing your backside for it. Once upon a time we saw tons of these on the roads but, sadly, their days are now numbered as we passed into the second decade for many of these cars. Still, the fact that your interior may be looking a little run down or in need of an update is a boon for us and we have a huge variety of dash kits in different styles and colors for your 1999 through 2004 VW Jetta. Choose from faux carbon fiber, brushed aluminum (shown in photo rebate pics below), a wood grain or a solid color. SO, without further ado, let me show you what you can get for less than a night out:
