Just got these and wondering how hard they are to put on. Not sure I can do it since I've had for back surgeries and hard to lean over so probably take it to the dealer or would a brake shop or somewhere else be easier? Thanks

I think you just use double sided tape to stick on the fake brake covers to your stock rotors.

Just my opinion, please don't use them. It's like taping fake vents to the side of your fenders or fake hood scoops, etc

"Denali132", Is that your black-on-black suburban in your profile pic? I've seen these exact covers on a black Yukon around town. They don't look too bad, they definitely pop so go for it if you like em. Post pics after please.

IMO the only time to use em' would be a on a dark grey or black truck like yours with darker wheels too.

I almost told you how sick your truck looks all blacked out...then I saw the Redskins banner in your garage.

They are easy to install, they bolt on with clips. Should have come with instructions. Post up some pictures when done!!

They clamp on to the caliper. Very easy, depending on what wheels you have, you may not have to remove them for install.

I chime in on these every time, but I had a set for sale when they first came out, everyone knocked the hell out of them (rightfully so), then all of a sudden people started putting them on and everyone on here raved at how good they looked. My opinion - you should have saved your money. They end up looking cheap. Just keep your calipers painted a fresh black and it will look better. Or save up for the real deal and get some Wilwoods.

Had them installed today I'm going to give it a few weeks and see what I think. I thing it makes a little sportier and they're not that big to,stand out too much.

your standard everyday soccer mom will think they look sporty if they even notice

IMHO anyone that actually works on cars will know otherwise and likely think that they are kind of lame. Sorry. Im not a fan. The rest of that truck looks soo nice. I'd paint the calipers black personally.

If you like the caliper covers, then that is all that matters

HTTR!
I actually like them from a distance. I think they look solid. They're a younger / sportier look for sure...but then again so is blacking out your entire truck. Nice truck dude.

I personally think these do look great.
Debating what Black ones would look like on a blacked out Tahoe? Too much?
