I'll have good pics soon enough. Tails and a few random touches and then I'll be done, aesthetically, for a while.

On a side note, These have officially been on my car over a year now and have not FALLEN OFF, Caused any issues, did my brakes service with new pads and rotors without removing them and still holding strong. I'm glad this is becoming a big modification across all Acura models!

John Linn recently had to redo his and he showed me some step by step...they look really good. I like the RDX but with not having anything written on them, sometimes I feel like they look odd, just a big blank expanse of metal that doesn't look like a caliper.

It's not suppose to look like a caliper. It's suppose to look like a cover.

Whereas the brembo are covers that are suppose to look like calipers.

Therein is the conundrum. Lol

Yeah, I guess so...I guess we'll see how well I can execute it on mine.
For base people...matching and the Acura written on them, i think they look great, MUCH better than the empty caliper...but for us with Brembo front (especailly painted to pop!)...I think it looks kinda odd.

We'll see, you already know I go back and forth between mods and sectsuality.

Maybe this has been answered, but has anyone tried installing these on their 3.5RL? I'm curious to see if this would work for older gen cars.

I think that since the tabs are bendable, they'll fit MANY honda applications without issue.

I thought about putting these on the Civic. If she had wheels that had less spokes I probably would.

Just ordered mine from my local dealership.. $2.30 retail, my cost will be lower than that... So I ordered 16 just incase I need extras or decide to paint some another colour :P being that I don't have brembos I need 4 on my vehicle anyways.

Hopefully I can install these in the next few weeks!

At $2 I would have ordered like 1000 of them and sold them to members for $20 shipped/pair! They'd be happy with the discount, you'd be happy with a little profit for your time.

Good catch!

Dude, it's $30 normally, so if you get it for $20 shipped it's worth his time and saves you money. Scumbag pricing would be $31 shipped.

I dumped my RDX covers...when stripped and repainted with no decal, it looked odd. I can say that openly now, after many months of therapy.

Thanks man, well...if I remove the overthinking and overengineering...it was very easy. Slap a bunch of clear RTV adhesive inside and on the caliper, and hold it in place for a few minutes while it sets.

I'm a picture whore, so I'll go ahead and share.
