its usually cheaper to buy OEM parts online so that's why i almost never check the two dealers in my city (usually double the cost)
but if you guys are in Canada, i recommend checking out your local dealer, i grabbed 6 for only $17.89!! way lower than what Honda USA is selling them at (we finally get something cheaper! haha)
and on that note, the parts guy told me he just sold the last aspec kit in canada last week and that they have no more aspec badges
i tried tho, was really hoping :p

I wanna paint my calipers gloss black cuz they are getting pretty shitty looking and rusty. Just want to make sure whatever paint I use it doesnt just flake off. Ive used duplicolor in the past but never tried G2 paint

When I had my RSX-S, I used the Duplicolor kit cause it was easier to get, but no matter how good I prepped and cleaned the calipers before painting, the paint would chip/flake within 6 months.
On my TL, I decided to try the G2 kit instead from all the reviews I saw. I painted my calipers 3 years ago and they still look good and the paint hasn't chipped or flaked.
My TL calipers are painted Gloss Black, which looks great with the RDX Covers

IMO, the paint for the G2 is better.

Looks great man!!
You did that on last Sunday right? Cause i saw your car was on jackstand or floor jack whatever when i was passing by your house. I was thinking "hmm he's doing something.. What is it..." Your wheels..
I just realized that you pained calipers same color too. I like them. I still can't decide between RDX or Brembo cover...

Naw...I don't think so...I think the pop of the color is somewhat flashy on the cover. We'll see, not totally decided yet.
I do dig it...

They're not the wheels for you if your trying to follow the weight reduction program still haha... They are 18x9 +25 Rota G-Force's they weigh pretty close to what the 04-06 base wheel weighs. These wheels with 225/40/18 Falken Ziex 512's weighed within a pound of my factory wheels on 234/45/17 Sumitomo's.

Wow, looking great guys!! I'm glad this thread has helped many. It really does make a difference in the appearance of the rear calipers. Mine are still holding strong since making this thread and countless times of me cleaning them.
