Make sure to always engage the emergency brake in your vehicle before you jack it up.
The caliper covers and clips in your caliper cover kit should be labeled for your front and rear calipers as well as for the right and left side. Note that the style of clips can vary for different models of caliper covers, but the installation process is very similar. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for any specific directions.
Repeat the process for each caliper. It’s the same for every wheel.
For example, if you have a 2002 Honda Accord, LX, 2. 3L 4 Cyl, buy caliper covers made for that exact make, model, and year of car. Don’t buy covers for an Accord from a different year or from the same year but with a different number of cylinders in the engine. Caliper cover manufacturer websites allow you to search for the correct covers using all your car’s specifications. Make sure any caliper covers you purchase have a manufacturer’s guarantee to avoid knockoffs. It’s best to buy directly from reputable manufacturer’s websites or from verified sellers online, rather than from unknown third-party sellers.
Keep in mind that brake dust reduction can vary depending on your brake pads, but some people report that they notice less brake dust.
For example, a set of red caliper covers adds a nice pop of bright color to your wheels. When paired with some aftermarket rims, they can give your car a really customized look.
Keep in mind that this does not apply to knockoff caliper covers.
For example, a set of quality caliper covers for a 2002 Honda Accord, LX, 2. 3L 4 Cyl costs $240-$270 USD. Getting the caliper covers installed by a mechanic might cost somewhere in the range of $100-$200 USD.
