Exclamation MGP Caliper Covers, looking for 06/07 Monte Carlo SS....

...To create a prototype of the caliper covers to fit our vehicles. The customer service lady asked me if I'm in the area, sadly I live in Ohio and they're in California.

Any owners on the west coast want to take on this task for the rest of us?

You know I called them once. They currently do not make covers for 06 or 07 SS Monte..but would if enough interest was shown. I am not on the west coast but you could put me down as interested in them.

That's sad that they would not make them, you'll think their are enough montes on the road looking for this kind of upgrade.

exactly, it they are in business to make money, you would think this is something they could easily do by just buying a set of calipers for the 06-07 Monte Carlos and then making them. And for $200 you could probably get your calipers powder coated anyways, but that would mean you might not have you car for awhile.....

Chris they would have to worry about wheel clearance too so just having the caliper wouldn't be enough. I think these are overpriced for what they are. I wish I had access to some metalworking tools.

They have a eBay store and sell them $20 less than on the site, includes free shipping too!

IMHO the caliper covers look 10x better than powder coating the calipers, and they make designs on them too.
