Does anyone know of any Acura brake caliper covers that fit our cars? Maybe the rdx ones? Or the 3G TL? Does anyone know?

Calipers? Or caliper covers? Don't do covers, they're ricey.

Luanster

Caliper covers lol I don't think they're ricey. I mean depending on how your setup is it might be. I'm looking into doing the rdx covers but need to find out where the best pricing is

The rdx covers are what the 3rd gen guys use on their rear calipers so they say ACURA to match their bbk up front. They don't fit the 2nd gen that I'm aware of.

Do you have a front bbk?

Luanster

I don't have the front one. I'm still looking for some. Maybe possibly just get some ebay brembo and grind off the lettering and get an acura vinyl

the gen3 Brembo calipers do not direct retrofit to the gen2 TL, sorry

There are many options from a 2 pot/piston caliper from the 95 legend gs-c for $50-75 dollars each, to a badazz 6 piston set, ck excelerate performance and mrheeltoe for those,,,,sweeeet

Until that thousand++ dollars appears- some black caliper paint works well to prevent rust buildup on calipers, rotor edges and center hub, plus hide suspension arms.
Black it all out for stealth
When you get real brakes, paint them loud~

^^ But He wants to use these:



Which IMHO are not ricey, But tasteless as many of us actually seek the performance. Not being a moving ad for brembo.

jaaaydeeem

For 2G's?? hit up Mugenspire about fitting for Calipers on a BBK. I think he had them on his 2g TL.

Paint your current calipers red?

the stock calipers are so wimpy looking (and performing)- that's why I suggest black paint for them- hidden from public view

if you have big money calipers- paint them bright!
BUT realize that's a clue to thieves your car has some expensive parts on it~

Luanster

Oh no no no no no lol I'm thinking the 3G TL-S front brembo brakes or the RL brakes lol and then covers for the rear

Skirmich

^ I believe only the MDX uses covers to "ACURA" Logo in the rear calipers.
I once estimated the 4 Pot OEM Caliper upgrade and all in all it was almost 600 bucks rotors and bracket included not too shabby but those 4 Pots are crazy heavy, Wayyy too Heavy...
2-Pot Legend Calipers did the trick without gaining any weight.

I've heard that if you want the 3rd gen TL BBK then you need knuckles and all sorts of stuff. Go with the RL up front and you'll probably have to vinyl the rear or stencil and paint.
I thought you were referring to those brembo covers up front, lol.
