OP, i like these...they look good and you did a good job installing them.
but...i kind'of like the "fake" rear brembo covers better because they match the design of the REAL brembo calipers up front.
either way, looks good man!

just ordered 4 of these for $17 shipped via FedEx 2 Day shipping
ordered from http://www.hondapartsunlimited.com/i...=45218-TX4-A00
Also, about ordering from that site, the part number only works as a Acura Part number, if you try to put it in as a Honda part, no parts are found.
Hopefully i'll have them by the end of the week.

Might move onto something else soon
I did a half ass DIY.. It's pretty much like this..
-Take the cover and place it on the caliper
-Bend the end tabs so they touch the bracket better (Only for rear calipers)
-Apply glue and place the cover on
-Let sit for 2 hours.
Fronts
-Take the cover and place it on the caliper
-Bend any tabs that need to be bent, but i highly doubt it.

They come black, he painted the rest of his caliper black. Look at the first picture in the first post, you can see where the cover ends and the rest of the caliper shows. It makes the transition much less noticeable being all black.
Just ordered 4 for $18.

They come painted black gloss with the Acura logo there. I decided to touch up (repaint) my calipers black gloss as well, for a cleaner look other wise on certain angles you will spot the difference. Again part number is right from the bag and it would be cheaper on line because dealers need to make profit regardless even at my cost it was 8 bucks each you guys still got a better deal.

just called Honda Parts Unlimited to check on my order, I was told the parts are on National Backorder with no ETA.
Called my local Acura dealer, they can get some by mid next week, but want $17/each, so I'll just wait for the price I paid.

Thank you for your order. Unfortunately, a rash of recent orders on this part has prompted a HOLD status by American Honda as of this morning. We will update you with an expected time of delivery as soon as it is available, however at the moment we do not have an estimated time of shipment. -Tim @ OEMAcuraParts
