anyone find these? im doing my brakes next week and would like to find something so the rear will match the front

found this: http://www.calipercover.net/

but wondering if anyone else already did this

 

u may get flamed for this because its not "real" ... i would say give it a shot if it looks just like the front then rock it. i wonder how long it will last though

 

fake looks better than the shitty caliper thats on it

does anyone even make a rear caliper

 

Didnt you see my 4piston rear wilwoods?

 

Definitely with VQPower on this; I would stick with the stock appearance rather than throwing a caliper cover like than on my rear setup. The whole idea of a "big break caliper cover" is almost synonymous to "spinner" hubcaps.

If you're really looking for a different appearance, and have the time to properly do it, why not paint your rear calipers black.

 

bbk's are for non brembo, not point in getting bbk's when i have brembos, and i dont think they break their kit up between f/r

because im painting the fronts a different color, if i painted the rear the same it would look absolutely stupid. i just hate the way the rear caliper looks, doesnt matter what color u paint it. it does not look good with drilled/slotted rotors

 

btw someone had them on their car over a year ago and it looked pretty dead on...too bad he left az

 

WTF are you talking about.
Rear BBK fits any model.

 

i think you should do it and post how it looks, it may turn good

 

all i saw was front but to be honest, im not spending 1500 for rear calipers since rears dont do dick for stopping

 

everyone is so quick to hate

 

^i know ,go ahead try it man,do worry what other ppl think, ull never know until u try , and life is too short to have what ifs

i wanted a BBK for my M3 but spending 7k for it , is just not worth it right now for me, if this comes out good for you , i might do the same

 

Word... I hear ya.
It's like why buy movado when a walmart watch tells time too.

 

I wouldn't. Just paint the rear ones black and they won't stick out.

 

lol yea, no one would even notice u have a movado anyways , they just think its another watch

that would look good too, but wheres the fun in that?

 

Get out a dremel to get the old rust off and then paint them black. Sounds like fun to me

 

ok but wheres the risk? ull know for sure how they will look after ur done, but if he does the covers , it could be something new that no one else has , or it could look

i say....take the risk, the worse that can happen is that they will look bad and no one will like them and you loose $30 , but at least you can say you took the risk, living life without any risk , is not living life at all

 

^I won't argue that.

 

, lets sit back and hope he goes for it

 

Tyler can you grab some popcorn for me in the kitchen. I gotta see how this ends

 

fake rear calipers is like having type-s wheels and a quad exhaust, wishing u had a type-s

now can everyone keep their stupid fucking comments to themselves, i dont really care how bad of an idea you think it is. all i want to know is if anyone has done it recently

 

^ive never seen it done on a tl or tl-s ever , but i would love to see you do it

 

Wouldn't this be the same concept as putting a Type R badge on a non type R...? What a Phail.

 

or a 325i with a M3 badge??

 

Hmmm I didnt know the AUTO type s had brembos up front. But you still have the regular one piston stock rear caliper that comes on all the TLs right?

If so, you can buy just the rear wilwood kit in black like mine for about 800$

Unfortunately they raised their price to 900

you know it would be a good investment, if i needed the fronts. but in reality, there is no sense in wasting 900 for rear brakes. thats 900 more i have for the turbo lol

 

but the faster you go the more stopping power you need so...

 

If you get them remember they are "fake" and they will come with attention you might not enjoy like getting dissed for it, but unless you can take the heat do it. On my car all i did was painted the center of my drilled an slotted rotors and also painted the rear caliper black, havent gotten complaints on it and looks much cleaner than the bullshit surface rust that develops on there.

either way good luck with whatever you do

 

sign me up.

I have never seen anyone do it on here..try e-mailing them (http://www.calipercover.net/index.ph...icle&Id=326203) and ask them which specific model to buy just in case (they seem to be a universal fit). the installation seems fairly easy and straightforward, it's a nice look to the car to be honest my stock calipers piss me off - and no, I will not spend over a grand for a BBK on an acura TL - what should be done is upgrading rotors, brake pads, and brake fluid, that's all really anything more than that is seems unnecessary unless one is tracking their car in my opinion.

 

Exactly, these Brembos are great at that.

 

Steve I have a pair here that you are welcome to try. Leo (037) gave me a set to try out on my car, I never put them on. They are black and say BREMBO on them. lmk

 

Have seen pictures of cars with the covers, look great so put them on.
I've said this before, some on this site slam the car, stretch tires, have poked tires, all types of body modifications along with light and paint mods, so why worry, do the installation. They've got to look better than the exposed, crappy rear calipers.

 

damn that's cold. What I said was more a joke to Tyler, not you.

 

I think there is enough talk about it... lets see how it looks!

 

or a girl with FAKE boobs haha

 

^whats wrong with that?

 

she cant expect to get as much credit as one with real ones

 

^wrong!

 

Ouch....that hurt

 

do you man ... its ur car forget what everyone else opinion is ... then post pics up because im interested to c what it looks like
