Im not one to put anybody on the spot (never have) thats not why I am here but I know there is no room for a cover over a brembo caliper and why would anyone ever do that. The caliper is beyond nice to start with. The back caliper is another story that one hurts on looks
Thank you for the compliment on the wheels

The guy gets credit for caring enough about his car to try and customize it and has thick skin to take the comments in stride...
As long as you are happy with your ride that's all that matters.
But seriously, put it back to stock, or at least go with some tasteful mods....

How dare they have an opinion. Opinions will not be tolerated!
OP- I am not a fan of your mods, but it's not my car. If you like it, that's all that matters.
I give you props for not being one of those people that come here asking for others opinions and then cry when they don't get the answer they were looking for.

^lol. I almost got these rims...I am so glad I didn't. Even in 19's these would look ugly. Dude, take it to stock, and use the money you made to make it look decent.

I got rid of them, spent 3 times as much on the OEM and cant be happier.
Back to wear this thread started... I ordered black smoke tint to replace the blue that no one liked.
However waiting for it to come in, I really grew attached to the blue and I'm gonna keep it. Think it looks unique and matches the other mods I have
I have 36' of dark smoke tint if anyone has any ideas what to do with that, tried it on the tail lights but it looked dumb

I like your signature. Like others have said, I must commend you for not taking everybody's comments to heart. At the end of the day, it's YOUR car and nobody else's!
Personally I think the smoked tint would look sick on the fogs instead of the blue, but I understand you trying to keep the whole blue theme going.

OP: You got some thick skin taking all this abuse. But I gotta agree. The blue tint def needs to go, your wheels need to get bigger and your tires a lot smaller. Sometimes making things stand out like your calipers isn't the greatest idea. Stock calipers on the TL-S look great when cleaned up, much better than your covers. I'd say just give it another go from a new perspective. Maybe with black as the compliment to KBP...

Loving my 08 TLS!
Wow, this is heart breaking. You really need to put the whole car back to stock. Get rid of the rims, stickers, cheap brembo covers, mesh grill, blue film tint.....etc. Dude, it is a KBP TLS, not a freaking old civic. You made us KBP owners a bad name.

OP you are such a good sport!..Some people need to learn to have an attitude like yours haha
If you like how it looks than that's all that matters, but trust me the more you look at other member's cars on acurazine, the more you'll get a grasp of where to go with your car.
But who am I to say anything when my car is still stock with only aspecs, tints, and little things like that haha
