Just got these and wondering how hard they are to put on. Not sure I can do it since I've had for back surgeries and hard to lean over so probably take it to the dealer or would a brake shop or somewhere else be easier? Thanks 5285e07aaa3079b0633f3a0252803b0b.jpg070fb71c800da5fb803e74a10f4fe830.jpg

I think you just use double sided tape to stick on the fake brake covers to your stock rotors.

Just my opinion, please don't use them. It's like taping fake vents to the side of your fenders or fake hood scoops, etc

"Denali132", Is that your black-on-black suburban in your profile pic? I've seen these exact covers on a black Yukon around town. They don't look too bad, they definitely pop so go for it if you like em. Post pics after please.

IMO the only time to use em' would be a on a dark grey or black truck like yours with darker wheels too.

I almost told you how sick your truck looks all blacked out...then I saw the Redskins banner in your garage.

Let me guess your a Cowboys fan! It's hard being a Skins fan sometimes!

They are easy to install, they bolt on with clips. Should have come with instructions. Post up some pictures when done!!

They clamp on to the caliper. Very easy, depending on what wheels you have, you may not have to remove them for install.

I chime in on these every time, but I had a set for sale when they first came out, everyone knocked the hell out of them (rightfully so), then all of a sudden people started putting them on and everyone on here raved at how good they looked. My opinion - you should have saved your money. They end up looking cheap. Just keep your calipers painted a fresh black and it will look better. Or save up for the real deal and get some Wilwoods.

Had them installed today I'm going to give it a few weeks and see what I think. I thing it makes a little sportier and they're not that big to,stand out too much.8a6e36ebee98bc0fa568af1f65646412.jpg2e23e62352bf66721e8e8c1ab5cd9d99.jpg87774a7e7e90a5ccdf47e79dffde2004.jpg
