Hi everyone,I have a black 2010 jeep patriot I love it. I just put new rims and tires on(235/70/16). Love it. I'm now looking for orange caliper covers. Went on a site that sells them and they said like 400 bucks. Is this true? Would spend 200 but 400 is crazy I think. Any thoughts?

Paint them, way less expensive.
They sell kits (I believe) that include a cleaner, brushes, the paint...everything you need.
Don't be messing about with the Patriot only up on the jack, get it on stands please!
Welcome.

I second the paint idea. Would be much cheaper, and you'll have a project for the weekend.

Here's some (from Dodge Caliber, same as Patriot) for way less than $400: http://www.carid.com/2008-dodge-caliber-caliper-covers/
Though I think painting them would be a better option.

Hi,
I live in Peoria. Maricopa that's way out there.
You think paint it? You said it looks better? A few people are suggesting painting them also.
I will paint them if it looks good.
Someone had said they sell some sort of kits to paint them. I will have to look into that. I just love the look. Want orange nice and bright lol
Mine is a 4x4. I'm working on uploading a pix
Still learning how to get around this forum. For some reason I could not respond to my message in my inbox.
Thx

Thank you all for your welcomes and info
I thought about lifting it but I'm glad I didn't the tires added a tiny bit of height it seems.
As cmoore stated. Doesn't seem like a lot but it sure feels like a lot when I'm getting in it. Lol getting old.

There are some great trails around here that the patriot is perfect for, especially if you just want to get away for the day, into the mountains.
