Before getting started, you’ll need the following tools:

• Jack stands
• Floor jack
• Lug wrench
• Wrench or socket set
• A friend (6^th gen Camaro upgrades are always better when a buddy’s on hand)

MGP caliper covers are super-simple to install:

1. Park your Camaro on a stable, level surface.
2. Apply emergency brake and safely jack up Camaro. Jack stands are recommended. Make sure your jack stands’ contact points align with the car’s frame-support locations. This is important to maintain your Camaro’s frame integrity.
3. Remove wheel.
4. Secure the upper mounting bracket clip to brake caliper.
5. Line up the caliper cover’s upper mounting screw with the upper mounting bracket slot.
6. Hand-tighten the upper mounting screw. This is one of the most important steps in the entire MGP caliper installation process; if you tighten with a socket wrench in this step, your caliper covers probably won’t align correctly.
7. Secure the bottom mounting bracket clip to brake caliper.
8. Align lower mounting screw to lower mounting bracket slot.
9. Hand-tighten the lower mounting screw. Again, it’s critical to ONLY hand-tighten at this point; see step 6.
10. Ensure the MGP caliper cover is properly aligned.
11. Use a socket wrench to secure upper and lower mounting screws. Apply a reasonable amount of torque, but don’t overdo it. Once the screws are firmly in contact with the caliper cover face, one complete turn to tighten should suffice.
12. Repeat steps 3-11 for remaining wheels.
13. Safely lower car, disengage emergency brake and enjoy! After your initial test drive, check to ensure caliper covers haven’t slipped or moved.
