2023 Model Y Performance OEM rear brake caliper cover on LR?

[nguyentoogood]

I take delivery of my model y LR this week.

I always hated the way the sliding piston look on cars. Just looks cheap. I see them on the Toyota Supra, Civic Type R etc etc (for the rears). Every aftermarket caliper cover for the Tesla i've seen so far looks too big and ugly. Anyone know if the OEM MYP rear caliper cover bolt up? I was just going to buy them and repaint them silver or another color to match the fronts.

 

[Joey47]

is it really just a caliper cover? I'd like to buy too and paint to color match.

 

[nguyentoogood]

yup!

so where can we get these. hoping they will bolt up to my LR Rear brakes.

 

[2101Guy]

Same. Are these available for sale at the SC?

I was going to find these but apparently you cannot get them from tesla. Also, you have to drill into the top of your caliper to screw in this cover.

I bought a set of caliper covers from Tsportline and they are really amazing quality and they look the closest to the previous MYP calipers. I ended up repainting them, but if you like the red, you can just bolt them on, and they’re stronger than the cheap eBay ones. They clamp down really nicely and they cover the entire ugly rear brake.

Looks great! Would you mind linking the Tesla decal and the paint that you used?

Can you please post the link where you bought the Tesla decal? Didn’t the T Sportline covers come with decals that say “T Sportline”?

 

[SteveFromNY]

Here’s the exact paint I used, it’s called VHT Burnt Copper. I used gray primer underneath after sanding but if I did this again I would use a black base coat for more depth from the copper paint.

Here’s the decal I used. All the other ones on eBay are too big. This is the closest match to the original TESLA size.

I then used Spraymax clear coat over everything after proper curing of the VHT paint.

They came with the T Sportline but I wanted to make this look as stock as possible so I went with TESLA decals.

How are the brake covers holding up? Seems like people prefer to paint them worrying the covers might cause damage. Have you had any issues? Thank you.

 

[dtmwerks]

Bump - anyone able to find oem style for the rear?

 

[SteveFromNY]

Rear covers are holding up well. I’m telling you, the Tsportline ones look like stock, and the build quality is extremely good. The cheap eBay ones look flimsy and are secured poorly. These Tsportline ones are secured well and the bolts and just everything seems high quality.

 

[FleaDog]

I would like to do this too

 

[FleaDog]

There is a set on AliExpress that are very similar to the tsportlines. Can also buy just the rears. Dark grey/silver also a color option. $92 + $30 ship

In the second to last pic, it looks like the eBay ones that use the thin aluminum plates to hold them together. The Tsportline ones I have are secured from the back to the front, so it literally doesn’t move. I’ve pressure washed my calipers and check them often and they are solid, no rust, and I don’t even need to tighten them. I’m picky with my stuff and these are really good quality.

any updates? thanks
