I've search for part numbers for brake caliper assembly for all 3 cars. But it seems they share different part number meaning there must be some sort of difference in design. hmm.. hopefully someone updates this thread soon.

they fit the rears but will need modification for the fronts.
keep in mind though that even the TL guys arent using the attached tabs to keep em on the calipers. I will probably shave the top tab for the rears and all three for the fronts

I have no idea how productive I will get to be as far as modding goes during this thanksgiving break given my limited time, but at the earliest I might be able to get pics up by this sunday
they look very nice held up to the car though.

just got home last night... coming this week!
delayed over the last break so i can install rear spacers and i want to wait till i have someone install extended lugs before i paste these to the rear.
I fitted them again and they will fit though with modification and they can be applied safely and brake maintenance can still be done with them on!
Thanks for your patience everyone... I have boxes and boxes of shit piled up for this car

VTEC just kicked in, yo!
It's very similar to the 3G TL (base) posted above. The RDX caliper covers should fit the rears fairly easily, and the fronts will require you to bend/shave the tabs of the caliper cover a bit for them to fit. They won't cover the entire caliper (obviously), so if you want a complete look, I'd recommend black G2 caliper paint (or similar) before installation. It will look a lot cleaner.
As for adhering the covers onto the calipers, use an RTV silicone. Black would be cleanest as any residue would be really hard to see, but the red stuff works as well. Check the 3G forums for more details... there's a huge thread there that started it all.
