Can you paint your black calipers to red.
Can I just purchase the red calipers without any other parts.

Trying to do this cheaply!!

your best bet would to either paint them yourself or have someone paint them for you....im 99% sure that acura dosn't have them in a different color.....but painting them isn't hard...its kinda fun...

tape off the "acura" (use a sharp razor) paint away then peel.

If you dont want to paint, Brembo has a kit with a larger rotor and a red caliper. I think it's $2200 or so.

or you can buy those fake covers sold on ebay for like $70 i think

Are ya talkin' about these caliper covers? More info can be found here. I don't think they have a listing for the 3G TL, but you can always call them and find out.

Sorry, but them covers are total ghetto!

you're kidding right? come on, you can't be serious...


if you MUST perform this atrocity to your vehicle, you can buy caliper paint at your local auto supply store...

oh man why would you want to do that. you would have to remove that black paint somehow. plus you said you want to do it cheaply?? well you will get what you pay for, thats for sure.

Personally, I wouldn't do that to my TL, I love the look of my Brembos....... just merely giving an option. Let's face it, the reality is someone, somewhere has them installed.

I look the understated look of the black Bremo's. I would never paint my calipers RED, even if I had big ole 8-pistons. Painting your calipers RED is like putting stickers on your car IMO. Look at me, look at me... I want attention!
I love when people paint their wimpy like single pistons, or even better yet I see with who paint their rear drums.

Most tuners have big red brakes.
Now if you into style then black is faded, but if you're a TL tuner then BIG RED BRAKES is the answer to your kind of style.

Tires with Black or Silver wheels, big red brakes and lowered with 19" or 18

tires.

That is one sweet looking car on OZ.

I like the look of Red brake calipers. Its synonomus with big brakes. Even if the brakes arent big, it still improves the look of them. As soon as I get time i'll be painting mine red. I dont do it for other people either. I do it because I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS. Who gives a fuk about anyone elses opinion?

Agreed ... also if it fits a motif not just stuck out as a red caliper ..

Items they compliment.
