I have a 2023 Tundra TRD Pro Hybrid. I was looking into either getting a cover or powder coating my brake calipers. Does anyone have any experience with this? What are the pros and cons?

I've never seen a cover that didn't look like a plastic cover. Even the metal ones just look like cheap plastic. Just use good caliper paint.

Good lord don’t JC Whitney your truck with any kind of caliper cover. Caliper paint should do fine.

I’m no expert here but with the temperatures Brakes can see, I would only paint it. Covers cannot be great for dissipating heat.
