That is bad then. To me they look like the fake plastic ones. Again, get what makes you happy. I myself think painting factory calipers looks better. Ones painted from the factory look even better.


This is good to know. It’s unfortunately a bit too late since I’ve already ordered though.

I personally don’t trust myself to spend the time doing the perfect prep and paint on all 4 calipers and letting them all dry the proper time, etc. I’m sure when I was younger it would have been different. I honestly don’t think enough of the caliper shows with the stock RST wheels that they will be seen as easy as they would with some of the open custom wheels. I guess I can take them off and sell them if I don’t like them.

I added these MGP Caliper Covers to my Black Friday order at Summit Racing.  I installed them this weekend on my 2019 Custom Trailboss.

 

They install super easy and add a bit more of that accent red to the truck.  Thought I would share if anyone has seen them and wondered if they work.

 

The front clearance is very close. Roughly 1/4".

 

Pretty spendy for a "glamor cover", but to each his own... ?

Awesome, I have some on the way. I was concerned that they wouldn't fit because of the big bump on calipers.  But obviously they do. Thanks for the post.  I went with plain red. No design.

This is something I definitely will want to add.... Looking good

On my second set. They are durable, keeps the dust down, and you can make back your investment when you sell - sold my avalanche covers for $125 on flea bay after using them 4 years so keep the box...cf1230965cedcde36183c1b8f1f4672d.jpg2f9e225f731c92ee9fa3bf5a105aab73.jpg

I’m trying to decide whether I should paint the current stock calipers or go with the red covers for my black RST. 
 
Does anyone have any photos of stock wheels with painted calipers or caliper covers?


Painted mine with G2

    • The amount of storage in the rear seat area is huge. You can keep all your cycle gear dry and clean back there
    • Truck in fluid changes and investigate subtle shudder at cruising speeds.  Told them it felt like my ‘14’s shudder when AFM kicked in.   Dealer #1 :  You need a new torque converter.   6 weeks later, after causing other damages to my truck, I get the truck back.  Same shudder exists. New, more violent shifts and vibrations at low speed.  After choice words and a few more weeks of waiting for them to replace my running boards supports, I move on to another Dealer.   Dealer #2:  The cruising speed shudder is DFM.  (I didn’t realize truck had it.) The TCM/ECM needs updates.  Updates will solve all vibration issues.   They perform updates, truck seemed ok in lot.  Not a mile down the road, SERVICE BRAKE PAD MONITOR. Dealer #1 stated brakes were at 4mm.   took truck back to Dealer #2, rear brakes at 2mm and less than 1mm.     New pads/rotors on rear, new pads up front.   truck seems good. Toggle through menus, brake monitor system is disabled.  Huh?  Why? Turn that sucker on : SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM!     will not reset manually, automatically, or even after pulling negative bat cable for 30min.     Could the TCM/ECM updates the culprit?    A torque converter diagnosis for a “normal” shudder and now I’m thousands in the hole and the truck still isn’t right!  Beyond pissed.  
    • Your right on. 👍🏻
    • Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.
    • I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.
