Red caliper covers

Hey all

so I love the look of the calipers with “Tesla” in them.

However I did not get the performace.

I have read what seems like only bad things about the covers you can buy..

What other options are there? I’ve searched and cannot find anything else with the white Tesla engraved on them..

I personally don’t like the covers ..there are several threads here on painting calipers ..that’s way I would go ..based on what I read it’s a somewhat moderate DIY or getting it done professionally doesn’t seem to cost much either

Covers look weird. You can simply get them painted. The TESLA letters are also stickers that can be applied after painting. Search locally for someone that does caliper painting or take it to a mod shop
 
Bringing this tread back up. RPM Tesla has some outstanding covers and I quickly purchased and installed. Super easy but my question would be if there are any known issues with covers falling off or rubbing wheels. There’s definitely a small gap clearance but would appreciate anyone’s experience who have been using covers for a while. Attached are before / after pictures of how OEM these look.

The rear looks so much better than painting the feeble stock rear caliper.
 
I actually have covers instead of painting. It personalizes MY. Everyone has their own perspective. Me personally, I love them and get people asking about them frequently.
Go Hawks!
