TSX Caliper Cover

So I was at the dealership today and I saw these on an RDX:




I asked the service guy there and he said they only have them for the RDX. Is there any way I can fit them or find a similar set of covers for my TSX?

Its a 2011 TSX 2.4l. Please let me know if anyone knows!! Thanks!

Go on......

I'm usually against this kind of posing but I am curious if there is a part number would like to see what it's all about.

I think the covers will cover the rear calipers completely, but might not for the fronts:

Front:

(IMO looks pretty good when the caliper itself is painted gloss black to match the cover)

Rear:

There's a huge thread in the 3G TL section. I'm thinking about doing this too, but the covers have gotten a lot more expensive over the years. They used to cost only a few bucks each cover (a steal IMO), but the 3G TL guys pretty much cleared out Acura parts inventory and the dealers had them on backorder lol. When new stock came in, they priced them at like $15+ a pop. Substantial increase

Btw, these are high quality covers, so they're not as rice as some might think they are. They're not made of plastic... but rather some sort of metal that requires RTV to stick them onto your calipers.

I know someone in our local Acura group that has these done on their CU2. Just need some RTV to stick them on, and possibly bend the tabs a bit. It shouldn't be a difficult job.

I never did this mod; I know others that have. I believe black high temp RTV was enough.

Here's the original 3G TL thread that started it all:
https://acurazine.com/forums/third-g...covers-863935/

Lots of information in there at your disposal.

Thanks. Seems like an easy install and pretty cheap. Why aren't more people doing this?
