Did you use glue to install your calipers?

Wait wtf why does the RDX get a 6spd while we had a 5spd?? wtf Acura. And why did the RDX get the Turbo K24 and not the TSX? Dafuk.

RDX had the k23 (if we're talking turbo). It's bell housing was closer to a Honda v6 bell housing.

Totally different setup.

OHHH, I really want the RDX caliper covers! Black will match all my other accents. Only front though? I guess I'd have to buy the rear separately, but I might still save a little bit of money.

I will just go to the dealership eventually for the wiper inserts.

I used to want the RDX caliper covers... but I kinda wanna go RL calipers. From what I recall, the RDX caliper covers used to be super cheap when they first came out, then the price went up cuz the 3G TL guys cleaned out the stock from the dealerships lmao.

Rob's are a good price. I suggest black G2 caliper paint on the calipers, and then follow with the covers

I think I'm just gonna paint my calipers black.. I have a can of high temp black caliper paint sitting around anyways for some reason.
Why bother painting them though if you are going to put a cover?

Anywhoo speaking of brakes is there anyway to see the pad wear without taking off the wheel?

I want the RDX calipers, but I don't want to glue or drill them.. Even if the glue is rated for high temps., it just seems unsafe to me if it does happen to become loose a few years down the road.

That looks nice. kind of looks similar to OEM TSX V6 wheels.

I think they look pretty nice, but if I was going to spend that much $, I would go with the HFP wheels or something aftermarket.

I'm not 100% sure it they will fit on the TSX with clips.. But from the few threads about the calipers on the TSX, it seems most glued them on

The covers don't cover the calipers completely. Google Image search it. Some of the silver/grey will show. Most paint it first then cover it up
