Hey guys,

I'm looking into changing my stock brake calipers to the red color. I just wanted to ask if any of you have done it and if you got it painted, powder coated or bought covers online. Also, which one would you recommend? Has anyone done it in the LA/San Diego area and know someone? Thanks!

i just installed my mgp red caliper covers 2 weeks ago on my xse. love them! imo the covers was an easy choice cause i've heard painted ones fade after a few years. with the covers i can keep them for a longer time even if i switch calipers. i installed them myself, it was fairly easy about 1.5hr of labor

They can only be purchased through a southeastern dealership. I used Toyota of Orlando. One of their parts guys jumped through hoops for me.. only one side comes in the box so you would need to buy 2 front and 2 rear. The part number if I recall is 00016-32089-01 for the front and 00016-32089-02 for the rear.
