Covers are not a good idea. More area for salt and debris to collect, pool, and sit. More chance of one of the covers heat warping and contacting a wheel or something. More chance of one coming unglued and causing damage to some part of the car as it ricochets out of the wheel. Do this at your own risk. If you want your calipers to look cool, spend the time it will take to do the job.
