05 RL Calipers on 03 TL??

Has anyone out there tried this mod? Is it possible? I saw a 05 RL parked on my brothers block and noticed that they are in the same position as the TL and would look HOT on the TL since they read "ACURA" on them!!

I read somewere on here that the 3G TL calipers will not work without extensive modification and probably wouldnt be worth it.

check out my calipers

I purchased a set of vinyl acura logos that adhere to our stock calipers. I just painted mine satinblack and applied the decals. I have almost 15,000 miles on them and they still look new. was a fairly cheap mod if your interested i could look up the info of the seller on ebay where i purchased them. just a thought. I get compliments on them all the time. People are always asking me if they are after market calipers i just tell them no they're homemade.hahaha PM if your interested.

heres a pick of my calipers

Spray the caliper white first, get the decals, place them in place, paint the calipers black, remove the decals.

what im going to do is print the acura logo almost the same length as the caliper and in red color or something bright, then cut it out so the acura is cut out then im going to trace it on to a thicker board sytle paper, then im going to place it over the caliper spary high heat white paint and wallaa same effect and ill do a few coats to raise it a bit......


or print it on photo paper or a thicker paper and cut it out and spary seems like less work lol

Alright I went back and checked my paypal history and found the guy I bought these from suprisingly I only payed $9.00 for them shipped. I think they are great they are made to fit perfect on our calipers and they last pretty long. I purchased mine back in Dec. 05 They been through alot since then and they still look good. I also forgot to mention he mailed me an extra set just in case I damaged one. okay okay here's the info

Payment To:
Justin Dahl-James
Seller's ID:
www_jdecals_com
Seller's Email:
just_n79@yahoo.com

I tried looking him up on ebay but I guess he doesnt have any on there for sale at this time. If you guys would like I will be happy to email him and ask him to make some for us. Maybe he'll even cut us a deal if enough people would like them.
