I haven't, but can't imagine they'd fit any different on a non-Brembo car than they did for the previous MY's.

I've got a can of black caliper paint if you want it.

I'll give it to you if you pay shipping.

Well since the shipping is more than the can of paint I will have to decline..lol I can get a can of caliper paint here for like $10 all I wanna know is if anyone has installed these on a 2011 gt and had and rubbing or fitment issues....and just FYI the brakes on my 2011 gt are way bigger and different than my 2007 gt...thx though :-)

What a tool!

I can't even offer to give you something for free without you laying out "Dayne's Rules"

I'm curious... What size were the rotors on your '07 and what size are they on your '11?

I'm not sure but looking at them right now the back rotors on my 2011gt are as big as the fronts on my 2007 gt....and the front rotors and brakes on my 2011 are huge in comparison! "tool" why would you even offer to send me a $10 can of paint when you know the shipping is at least $25?? all you do is try to argue! Wow lol

Ya there like 200 but with the wheels I have I don't wanna see those tiny calipers through my wheels.....even if there painted... So it's either a $2500 big brake kit or the 200 black caliper covers.....I'm just worried that they will rub on the brakes or have some other fitment issues.....yours looks good! but my wheels are so open I have to do something about the brakes or at least the calipers

I don't have any experience with them but there are some faux Brembo caliper covers for sale on eBay for about $60.

The 2005-2010 covers don't cover all of the 2011 caliper. I ended up returning mine.

And how much would these bigger brakes cost that you want him to buy...so he isn't 1/2 assing it... versus the MGP covers??
