Brake Caliper Covers
Has anyone found a solution to the tsx's ugly brakes? I noticed the new rdx has covers and I was wondering if anyone knows if they would fit, the new ILX 2.4 is suppose to have covers too from what the dealership told me.

It's not a full cover like the eBay ones. It covers the pad area. Thanks for the info though...I may try that combined with black VHT paint on the rest...

check the part number for the new RDX's brakes to see if it matches the same part number used on the v4 or v6 TSX

and the paint wears and looks like shit AND caliper paint gives a glossy look (not for me)
if these are the same style that mercedes uses they will look the business.

I came across these while looking for caliper covers.

I dont know though. To me, its in between cheese and cool. The website claims that it does serve some function. Prevents brake dust from going all over the place.
I would definitely do it, but at $200 for a set of 4 covers, $200 - $300 for better rotors - i might as well get a real brake kit for a couple hundred more.

Haha ok, I guess I have no taste when it comes to cars. I actually was considering them but the price was too much. Damn I suck. I guess you gotta pay to play!

I had the RDX 2013 as a loaner and saw the brake cover in person. Only two wheels on the front has brake cover but the rear does not. It doesn't drastically change the appearance at the same time, it isn't expensive. Little neat mod for those who spare time.

I want to know too, been reading the thread on how the price jumped like crazy!
I am ordering mine from local stealership. $15.30 something plus tax each, but they are available next day and are in stock. Problem is that I am in the process of moving so I won't be able to test fit on 09 Tsx until middle of next month
