Best Caliper Covers for Jeep Cherokee & Grand Cherokee

Jeep caliper covers are the fastest, cleanest way to transform the look behind your wheels — and MGP makes the best-fitting sets for the Jeep Cherokee (KL) and Grand Cherokee (WK2). Instead of staring at dull, rusty factory calipers every time you glance at your Jeep, a set of powder-coated MGP covers snaps over the OE caliper to add red, yellow, or black color and a laser-engraved "JEEP" logo. In our Tampa, FL shop, caliper covers are one of the most popular sub-$250 mods because they deliver a big visual change in an afternoon with zero cutting or brake disassembly. Below we compare the five in-stock MGP sets that fit the 2011–2020 Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee, with real specs, fitment, finishes, and pricing.

Why add caliper covers to your Jeep?

Caliper covers are a bolt-on cosmetic shell that clips over your Jeep's factory brake calipers to hide corrosion, add color, and give the wheels a finished, dressed-up look. MGP Caliper Covers are precision-formed from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum, then sealed with a high-temperature powder-coat finish that resists heat, chips, and fading. Because aluminum conducts heat well, the covers shed brake temperature rather than trapping it against the caliper.

The practical payoff is visual. Factory Jeep calipers are unpainted cast iron that turns orange-brown within a season of Florida driving. A set of four MGP covers — two front, two rear — wraps those calipers in a clean powder-coated color with an engraved "JEEP" or grille logo, so road grime and brake dust are far less noticeable. It is the same idea as a painted caliper, but reversible, warrantied, and installable without bleeding your brakes.

One honest caveat: caliper covers are appearance parts. They do not shorten stopping distance or add clamping force. If you want more braking performance, pair the covers with upgraded pads and rotors from our brakes collection. What the covers do add is a factory-plus look for a fraction of the cost of big-brake hardware.

How we picked the best Jeep caliper covers

We ranked these five sets on the three things that actually matter to a Jeep owner: confirmed fitment for your exact model and year, finish quality and color/logo choice, and value. Every set here is a genuine MGP product, made in the USA, backed by a 3-year warranty, and in stock at NLP Performance. All are complete four-piece sets covering both front and rear calipers. Prices range from $217.91 to $229.38 — well under the $299.99 MSRP.

The 5 best caliper covers for Jeep Cherokee & Grand Cherokee

1. MGP Red Caliper Covers — 2014–2020 Jeep Cherokee (KL) — Top Pick

The best caliper covers for the 2014–2020 Jeep Cherokee are MGP's red set with silver engraved "JEEP" characters. This is the only in-stock cover cut specifically for the Cherokee KL's caliper, so fitment is exact front and rear. At $217.91 it is also the least expensive set in this guide, and its glossy red powder coat is the classic look that makes a set of factory or aftermarket wheels pop.

2. MGP Red Caliper Covers — 2011–2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK2)

For the 2011–2018 Grand Cherokee WK2, MGP's red set with silver "JEEP" characters is the most popular choice, and it is our highest-stock option. It carries the same 6061-T6 aluminum build and 3-year warranty as the Cherokee set, sized for the larger Grand Cherokee caliper. At $229.38 it is the go-to for Laredo, Limited, and Overland owners who want a bold red accent behind factory or aftermarket wheels.

3. MGP Yellow Caliper Covers — 2011–2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee

The MGP yellow set with black "JEEP" characters is the boldest look in this guide and a favorite on SRT and Trailhawk builds. Yellow reads as a performance-brake color — think factory high-performance calipers — and the black engraving keeps it from looking cheap. It fits the 2011–2015 Grand Cherokee at $229.38, and like every MGP set it is a full four-piece front-and-rear kit.

4. MGP Grille-Logo Red Caliper Covers — Jeep Grand Cherokee

Want something less common than plain lettering? This MGP red set engraves "JEEP" on the front covers and the iconic seven-slot Jeep grille logo on the rear covers. It is the same 6061-T6 aluminum, red powder coat, and $229.38 price as the standard Grand Cherokee set, but the grille-logo rear gives your Jeep a signature detail that shows up every time the wheels turn.

5. MGP HEMI Yellow Caliper Covers — 2011–2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee

If your Grand Cherokee runs the 5.7L or 6.4L HEMI, this yellow set with the black HEMI logo is the enthusiast pick. It advertises what is under the hood every time you brake, in the same 6061-T6 aluminum construction and $229.38 price as the other Grand Cherokee sets. Stock on this HEMI-logo variant is limited, so grab it while it is available.

How to install Jeep caliper covers

Installing MGP caliper covers takes about an hour and requires no drilling, cutting, or brake bleeding. MGP includes a patented stainless steel clamp-and-adhesive fastening system: you clean the caliper, position the cover, apply the supplied high-temperature adhesive, and secure it with the stainless clamps behind the caliper. The set covers both front and rear calipers, so plan for four covers total.

A few tips from our Tampa install bay: work on a cool brake system, never a hot one straight off a drive. Degrease each caliper thoroughly with brake cleaner so the adhesive bonds — any oil film is the number-one cause of a cover shifting later. Let the adhesive cure fully (MGP recommends leaving the vehicle parked for roughly 24 hours) before driving hard or washing the wheels. Done right, the covers stay put through daily driving, car washes, and Florida heat.

Fitment is caliper-specific, which is why matching your exact Jeep model and year matters. The Cherokee (KL) and Grand Cherokee (WK2) use different calipers, so use the correct set from the table above rather than assuming a universal fit.
