Front is red. Under part is bluish
So if you have red and swap to white it will
Be red on the under side

It's only when viewing at an angle

Well, I haven't done the research but the ECU is what stores all of the information and sends signals to the electronics? I would expect that changing the cluster would be nearly the same as changing to a new computer monitor.

Only thing that might matter is that I'm an 09 and he is a 12... so signals/ wiring could have changed slightly. I wouldn't mind experimenting.

I hope not but suspect the 9 to 12 will F it up.

Otherwise you correct ecu stores mileage BUT you need the steale er to grt the cluster to read proper.

no
real cf
they were done in semi gloss
sending them back as the finish isn't perfect, he said he's going to do them again in matte and they will look perfect, I guess semi is harder to do and get 100% right

That semigloss looks fantastic. I'd love that... but I'm sure the price is insane.

maybe.

Savclaude says his fit under his 17" type - s wheels with 1/2 inch of clearance if that means anything.

What does width have to do with it?
It's the design and spacing of the face that dictates

It may not fit.The tl type-s if I'm not mistaken are 8.5'' wide+45 offset and I barely clear them.10-15 mm spacer should clear them imo.

I know its not just one thing but a combo.

I am no 100% sure either way kk so dont go buy wheels on my eyeballs.

But just looking at the oem vs the rl caliper size difference on the width.

Try it with the stocker. Mock it up but dont disconbect the hose from original.

I really doubt the stock wheels will fit. Wheel width somewhat matters (1" wider is roughly 1/2" less offset, i.e., -13mm offset), but yes fitment of BBK is mostly determined by the offset and spoke/face design.

No, he confirmed both required 15mm spacers. I can post his exact reply if you want.

awesome.

how much did you pay for the calipers? I want a pair too but with new pads/rotors/bracket/paint, I'd imagine it wouldn't be cheap
