Hey guys, have a bit of an issue.... my rear driver's side caliper was sticking.... bought a new caliper, replaced it & bled the system/greased everything up.... but it's still sticking. Any idea what it could be?!

Do you use the parking brake? If so, see if the parking cable is giving you issues.

eBay, $200 free shipping buy it now. Offered him $100 and he accepted http://www.ebay.com/usr/bigd.941?_trksid=p2047675.l2559 I don't think he has one in CBP try PMing him?

Looking for side skirts now

EDIT:

iCrap, the "lip" I bought is the one for the facelifted CU2s (2011+), i.e., the 2 small pieces on each side of the front (08F01-TL2-2G0B). I don't think this lip works on the pre-facelifted CU2s? I might be completely wrong though

I do use it, but the Parking brake cable is good. I was told I may need a new brake hose, so I guess that's the next step.

Mine look good still after more than a year.

Weird that you don't have them. They're just the stock hub caps I believe. There is a variety on eBay, you might have to look through them to find OEM set though.

Have you seen any pictures of a TSX with anthracite dip?

I thought yours was just black also. Hard to tell the difference in the garage I guess.

Acura must have changed them after 2010 because I have the same ones as the video, but non-SE TSX.

Yea i guess it's hard to see in pics. Ive parked it next to a car with black dipped rims though and I like the Antracite better.

Looks like Acura did change the caps... I'll get a 2011+ set then i guess.

Wow, didn't think I'd care much for that, but I really like it.

Wonder how it would look with my GLM...

Awesome! If you don't mind also, can you get a shot of the side with both wheels? Would be much appreciated kind sir.

Also, have you ever messed with a glossifier?
