Bad experience with MGP caliper covers

[997S]

I picked up a new set of MGP caliper covers this week and dropped off the Mustang GT at my local installer for installation. I was informed that after over an hour of attempting to install a front cover, there was just no way to do so without some rubbing on the brake disc. The installer viewed YouTube installs of this item and still could not get it to work properly. Not sure if this was a manufacturing defect or what but it surely did not work on this car. He never attempted to install on the other 3 calipers. Just a heads up on potential problems if you try these. I've read reviews on YouTube where some have had no problems but others have experienced this same issue with rubbing. Not good! I wasn't sure that I would like the look but, heh, what the heck, just give it a try. Apparently it was a bad idea. Hope new users have a better experience. And, these things aren't cheap to purchase. Just sayin'.

Caliper covers are BS anyway

I’m not being a smart ass but if the directions are followed they shouldn’t rub, it clearly says to cut off an 1/8” if they rub which I had to do and if installed correctly they won’t rub.

The rubbing is caused by the Disc being out of round it's a simple fix as stated above and explained in the instructions which most men and all mecanics never read.I had a friend have them installed by a Professional mencanic and the guy didn't even rotate the wheels before setting the car back on the ground then drove it out of the shop and detroyed the front covers not to mention the back of the wheel spokesThen tried to blame it on the manafacturer.
