@@patriciaarteaga8221 Doesn't matter if it's these or MGPs. No interference with assist. I have rear brake sensors and those kick brake action in without any issue. Covers are just a cosmetic external piece. If standard braking works so will assisted.
Agreed. I saw they offer that as well. It comes down to appearance preferences of the shape of the cover I think. CCI just released a couple of other options for variety but I agree that MGP's consistency with theirs is what drives the known quality. They are more costly though.
Thank you for getting back to me. I just bought some summertime rims and tires (Michelin tires and factory Black Ford rims) I think the plastic lug caps could be a deterent from someone steeling the tires and rims. I have an expedition and just bought the red MGP caliper covers too. Can't wait until spring. Thanks again
Sure, but if it matters the ones I have are not plastic but more like rubbery somewhat stretchy if that makes sense. Either way, agree on the lug thing. No way to get wrench on those with out having tweezers to take them off ✌️

Yep it was something I found online but can't remember where. I would just go with Sarona Design. I have gone with one for my Durango and it's well designed and built.
You can choose to remove the bolt look on mgp calipers if you customize. Do you think it looks better to remove them or keep them? I can’t tell if they make it tacky or not.
You're right. I actually was checking their site and saw that. Without the fake bolt look though they just look odd because they don't have "depth" of CCI. So if you're on MGP side I would leave the bolt look.
CarSick30 Thats what I was thinking otherwise it’s a smooth color that has no edges and looks like a glob to me lol. I’ll stick with the bolts! Thanks for the input

@alexlo1378 I've run both in summer and winter in Northeast and they stayed on fine. CCI seemed to warp and get stained a bit after about 1 year though.
@@YoungBlaze I haven't really followed what the latest deal at CCI is but I do remember them having some supply chain trouble because of aluminum and possibly some fitment issues with latest versions. I'm good with either brand. The "original" CCI look still works for my purposes and holding up pretty well 👍
Are those spacers? What size? Any issues with them? It was recommended I get 5mm spacers to get the front covers to fit on my ‘18 JGC Altitude, but I’m a little nervous.
This one of differentiators between MGP and CCI. When I was running MGPs no spacers needed on Altitude. It just so happens that I got spacers after that for more aggressive look and stance/stability. So when I went for the CCIs it was not even a thought for me. Plus I was not told I needed them. My spacers are 0.75" manufactured by Bora. At that size you have to deal with not just spacers but having to cut your factory studs (the things you put lug nuts on). Factory are not long enough to take spacers and leave enough thread for lug nut. Ongoing debate about how wide/narrow they can be before you HAVE TO do this.
@@carsick309 Thanks for the info. I’ve seen pros and cons for spacers. I’m only willing to go no more than 6mm for clearance, but still leery. I might just end up painting them. But until then, I still have the rears on, so it looks half cool 😎 lol
I have the exact same jeep altitude in white and wanted to do the same set up with the rims and tires. Do I need the .75 spacers to fit the 295/45/20 rims and tires?.. because I really don’t want to put spacers on, but I want that exact set up in rims and tires.. thank you in advance…
@@markdudek1544 I decided against spacers and purchased SRT Replica wheels, so no spacers needed. Proud to say the CCI covers have held up for 2yrs now with original magnets, no issues. I probably should give them a good cleaning though lol. I get compliments all the time.
ABSOLUTELY THE WORST!! This company and the Owner are a total joke!! Took me 6 months to get mine, after sending the wrong ones after 3 months!! Then they finally ship them , after lying to me about 12 times saying they are shipping, they are drying, every excuse you can think of. Wouldn’t answer my call until I blocked my number.

That does sound horrible. I did end up switching mine and wife's back to MGP but more so for ease if use and options. Didn't realize things got this bad with CCI...
There is font out there actually called Star Wars. I just asked CCI guys to get as close to it as they could. For some reason the actual font doesn't have letter "O".
Mgp covers are simple and plain but, at least they are made out of really good material, very solid and 100% safe and CCI covers they look better but, they're not safe at all, even if you put stronger magnets, they're gonna fall off sooner or later, just paint them don't buy these covers they're not worth it, trust me i had both, mgp and cci covers and I regret it 🤦♂️
I ran MGPs on my Nissan Altima they fell off after two months, few months later I bought a charger rt 18 and I found out about CCIs and decided to go with CCI Xlines av been running them for 8months now they ain’t going nowhere lol. I even run through potholes an a daily , easy to clean.
@@idrisidowu6246 that is so weird though 'cause I've been running MGPs on all my cars and they never fell off, the only reason I decided to change is because I gotta admit CCIs look better in terms of desing, anyway none of them are worth in my opinion.
I had 3 set cci, I lost the cover one by one , the 4 set after a month later the driver side came off and messed up my rim , I took the rest off before they came off and I noticed the magnet was already coming off on the other ones, I’m glad I took them off on time , Just got the mgp let see what happens

Sorry didn't get notified that someone commented or asked something. CCIs come with magnets but a few people upgraded to these: Super Power Rare Earth Cup... www.amazon.com/dp/B07FL7NCYN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Mine have held for 1K miles. But I also upgraded magnets from beginning. Not because of something being wrong but just to be extra comfortable with the idea.
@@syn2667 sure. Here you go. www.amazon.com/dp/B07FL7NCYN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share They are bigger than ones coming with covers but worked for me and a couple of others with Grand Cherokees on IG. I'd probably order 2-3 sets just in case.
They have install videos on their site. Their approach did not work for me but I didn't want to show mine to prevent bad install claims and any liability for fails of those doing it my way.
@@carsick309 after watching your video I decided to buy the MGP caliper covers. They look much sturdier and were bolted on. I didn't trust the magnet not to fly off and possibly destroy my rim, caliper, car.. After installing the CCI cover were you satisfied with it or was it a mistake?
@@mudbugminitrucks After about 1 year on I went back to MGP for sturdiness and longevity. I didn't have magnet fail issues but brake dust staining and removal reinstall for servicing were more annoying with CCI.
@@carsick309, looking at the design and structural integrity of the CCI I'm glad I went with MGP.. I love my vette.. I would hate to have anything happen to it. I pick the red to match my car.. I'm excited to see how it looks.. take care
That's definitely a differentiator, you are right. CCI has has an "implied" warranty of sorts. If you put them on exactly as they are intended to be then there would be no failure. If there is any failure then you have to prove you didn't screw something up at install which is not likely to be possible. But it's also a much smaller scale shop by comparison so there is always implied risk. No failure in close to a year so far. I still have my MGPs and the point of this whole thing was to just try something different for look purposes. I agree that when it comes to comparing long term manufacturer backing it's apples and oranges.
@@carsick309 MGP has a warranty? but if they send you custom caliper covers that dont fit your vehicle you cant send them back for news ones, adjustments, or a refund? This is going to make me order a basic black one and slap a sticker over the MGP logo rather than shell out $500 for a custom carbon fiber one.
Totally see your point but heat has no impact on properties or fundamentals or magnetism. 3M adhesion is actually strengthened through heat. Overall I would say this combo of attachment methods is no less secure or safe than MGPs clips. The whole idea of any covers is totally cosmetic without any true functionality though.
I'm sorry but my experience is completely different from most of these comments,.. I have MPG covers on my cars, and when I tell you I've had nothing but issues since they were installed back and forth to the dealership for install, ... you wouldn't believe, driving down the road you will hear something rubbing, at times you will hear something scrapping, if you make certain turns you will hear all kinds of stuff.. and really it's emabarrasing... I was driving down the road and 1 popped off while driving, and a day later the other popped off..... like I'm just tired ...i'm looking for another company that's better . yet safer !
One thing I can definitely say is to never take car in for brake or service of anything in those areas while the covers are on. Most of them don't know certain nuances tied to proper re-install. And not really their fault since covers are aftermarket, not factory equipment. If you have had rubbing before dealer service, and you believe they were installed correctly originally, I would consider spacers from 2mm up to 5mm depending on your wheel size and offset. They were not needed for Cherokee but I did need to get them for wife's 2017 Ford Edge.
No. They are aluminum. I can see why you might think plastic because of some flex when you hold them and try moving them around. They definitely have some give but there is no visible flexing in driving conditions. Seem to resist heat pretty well because of 2 layers in middle. They also don't have that "plastic look" like the fake Brembos or similar garbage out there.
DO NOT PATRONIZE THESE SCAMMERS. Check out what they told me to do when they didn’t fit. Levi MGP (MGP Caliper Covers) Oct 1, 2021, 1:14 PM PDT In order to align the covers properly on a vehicle's caliper to meet the mounting points you can push or pull the welded arms closer to each other or away from each other as required. Each arm is welded at the front plate but the rest of the arm is free to adjust without snapping. The arms are made of aluminum so they will take a stretch, see image attached for reference, thank you!
Can you send us a picture that shows the incorrect fitment
Not at all. I have nothing to do with those guys. My car isn't even on their IG or website. I also got no discounts for this. Just thought it would be good to have another video out there.
Thanks for a nice real, down to earth review. I'm in the market for caliper covers and this is super helpful!

If you have had rubbing before dealer service, and you believe they were installed correctly originally, I would consider spacers from 2mm up to 5mm depending on your wheel size and offset. They were not needed for Cherokee but I did need to get them for wife's 2017 Ford Edge.
Could you explain more. I don't know what any of that means@@carsick309
Absolutely 💯 JUNK. On top of that, your brakes overheat causing premature failure due to overheating.
Varies by experience I'm sure. 5 cars later has not been the case here.
@@carsick309 agreed. There is still ample airflow with either cover.

CCI you get what you pay for CHEAP!!!!
Yo! I installed a new set of CCI Caliper Covers. Check them out!!
Are these plastic?
No. They are aluminum. I can see why you might think plastic because of some flex when you hold them and try moving them around. They definitely have some give but there is no visible flexing in driving conditions. Seem to resist heat pretty well because of 2 layers in middle. They also don't have that "plastic look" like the fake Brembos or similar garbage out there.
CarSick30 got ya thank you.
DO NOT PATRONIZE THESE SCAMMERS.
Check out what they told me to do when they didn’t fit.

In order to align the covers properly on a vehicle's caliper to meet the mounting points you can push or pull the welded arms closer to each other or away from each other as required. Each arm is welded at the front plate but the rest of the arm is free to adjust without snapping. The arms are made of aluminum so they will take a stretch, see image attached for reference, thank you!
Can you send us a picture that shows the incorrect fitment
Are they talking about calipers having welded arms? What the heck are those? I don't have anything welded that's for sure.
Batter real brake caliper CCI
CCI paid Add!!!!!!!!
Not at all. I have nothing to do with those guys. My car isn't even on their IG or website. I also got no discounts for this. Just thought it would be good to have another video out there.
