No they looks terrible, I would put the RDX caliper cover on the rear brake.

 

Fakey and fugly. That and assuming you have a Type-S with Brembo brakes, not only will they not fit, but they'll detract from the good looks of those calipers.

 

You don't want to trap heat in your brakes if nothing else, strong do not buy vote here.

 

RDX covers for the rear, and just paint the factory calipers black

 

Very good responses from members here whos opinions I respect. I admit I like the yellow, but the covers are kinda janky....can always count on ya boys...

 

Overpriced shit.

 

The yellow look nice now, but after a few heat cycles they will start to fade and look cloudy. If you want yellow you can buy G2 caliper paint in yellow and apply. They can also custom mix colors too!

 

Many thanks! Love this community, great help! Those covers always looked to big to me anyway, and especially for the money lol. G2 caliper paint...should I just do a google search?

^ is the company and their product is pretty good. I recommend mixing half of each can at first, and then when you need more coats to mix the remaining product as it's a lot to apply in a short period of time. I helped a buddy with is lexus IS and the end result was great! Just make sure you wait for it to dry/cure for a good bit before mounting your wheels and getting brake dust on them otherwise it'll bake into the finish.

There's enough in the kit to do rotor hats to if you want. Dulpicolor sells kits at local stores also!

 

I'm a little late here, but yeah I can't believe how expensive those are. Coincidentally, I painted my calipers last weekend. Just bought the base powerstop package off rockauto, and any autozone has high temp rattle can paint, as well as high temp clearcoat to finish. Good luck with whatever you end up doing!

 

Whatever you do, just don't paint your calipers with your name like Britney Spears ex-husband did to his (really her) Ferrari

 

That's even worse that all of those idiotic stickers that people put on their cars.

Painting calipers red or black, like Boss is best way in my book. Looks good and doesn't look cringey.

 

Don't buy those covers

 

Oh I'm not. And red is an option. The yellow just pops to me I dunno. But I'm hearing from co workers (I work for John Deere Remanufacturing so I respect some opinions after seeing their various vehicles) that the way to go is powder coat them. And have a quote of $100 a caliper...silly?

 

When I needed to do the brakes on my TL last year I had wanted to have them powder coated in red with the Brembo decals, but time was of the essence, so they stayed black with the ACURA decal on them instead. I think $100 is a fair price for powder coating.

 

Yea the price seemed reasonable to me as well...now color and acura or brembo decal. And yes yellow is still leading haha

 

If black is an option then you can't beat rdx caliper covers for $20 each
