Yes, they are a "snap". All you need to do is remove the wheel and snap on the caliper covers. I got mine new off ebay for my particular model and wheel size. I love them. Hubby put them on for me.

Caliper covers look tacky IMO. Maybe the wheels are too small or the covers too big, but it takes up half the inner wheel area, looks nothing like a caliper. I would have just painted them red if that was the look I wanted. But that is my opinion, as long as you're happy with them, rock on.

Being new to this forum, I certainly don't want to show anything tacky, but I AM happy with them. They don't cover half the inner wheel. Thanks anyway.

As long as you're happy, kudos.

They cover about 35% of the inner wheel well......I was exaggerating a bit. No need to get defensive. It is your ride, do what you want, whatever makes you happy. But when you go public, understand that people won't always agree with you.
