Yeah, I'd be interested to know how they work out. I painted mine and they look fine at least for now but I'd still like to know about any new options. Thanks!

Finally received the caliper covers and installed them. They fit perfect and look super nice.

Covers look great. There's an ancient post from Jazz Cat about having to wash the wheels every time he drives. I have the same problem w/ brake dust on the front wheels. Wheels are 18" Atlas in an alloy finish. Is there any solution to this?

Switch to a set of brake pads that creates minimal dust. I have been utilizing Wagner ThermoQuiet pads on all of our vehicles for at least 15 years now. Brake dust is indeed minimal, they are silent as a tomb, they provide quick and effective stops, and they are very reasonably priced at suppliers such as rockauto.com....

Thanks, that sounds like a good solution. When I bought my 06, had to scrub the brake dust off the front wheels.
