Guys, What are some thoughts on installing MGP caliper covers? They sell for about $200.00.

They go great with underbody neon.. And autozone exhaust tips

That one was a bit corny.

that's a lot of money for something like that. if you really need to have colored calipers though, painting it is a lot cheaper and i think looks better.

Too much like something to make it look like something it's not. Never did sit well with me.
Painting the calipers can be a small afternoon or all day project depending how far you want to go. All day might be taking off the rotors, painting the hats, and taking the time to properly prep, mask and spray the calipers.
Cost you less than $50 in materials and some time and look far better than some clip on cover.
