Im kind of with the others on the orientation of that A logo, I feel like flipped horizontally would look better. But definitely not rice.. it defintely flows.
Your wheels and tails are A class by the way!
What's the offset on those wheels and are you dropped at all? Those wheel look bigger than 20's due to the spoke design but looks like sex! Good job!

I like them aligned with the pads like you did. Gloss black pad backing plates with silver logos might go nice against the red too.
But, I would disassembled before painting or at least have masked off more of the rubber bits. I think you might be sorry when the red flakes off of those parts. Disassembling prior to painting would have ultimately been cleaner and would last much longer. IMO I don't like seeing paint over-sprayed on the springs, clips, etc.
Then there is always this if you already have the Brembos up front...

Not sure how painted calipers are ricey, maybe if you put vtec stickers on them. I will be honest though and say that I think the Acura decal would have looked better horizontally but you said you tried both ways and this way looked better so I have to take your word for it. Anyways as far as tha painting goes I think they came out great.
