I was wondering if any one has bought the rdx caliper covers for their cars here from a dealer? I got quoted 24.75 plus tax. Anyone know anyone else selling it for cheaper?

 

Which dealer was that? Try Sherway Acura and don't say its for a TL just give the part number, mine and most guys that bought them cost less than $12 for all 4

 

They raised the price.

Buddy shtewps called the dealer and they originally invoiced him all 4 for $12 but then told him that the pricing is wrong and the $12 price was a pricing error by Acura's corp the WHOLE time and people just took advantage of it.
I think the new price is like $12 EACH.

Made sense as $12 was really too good to be true for all 4.

 

You're not trying to buy those fake BBK covers are you?

 

paid $5 for all four from a member who had extras. can't go wrong with em. they cover up the ugly 7 year old factory calipers

 

Was that me? Can't remember lol

I bought like... 10 at one time [5 pairs].
I got them all from the Honda dealer who quoted me 2.30 something each. Granted this was way back in the summer.

 

No, sir.

Look up rdx caliper covers.

 

Ah I see. Would be nice on the rear. But brembos for the front!

 

I have them all around. Makes such a big difference in looks =)

If only I could afford to get the Brembos or real BBK for the front lol

 

This is at acura east in Ajax

And the part number is 45218-TX4-A00 correct?

 

Do you still have some you would like to sell?

 

Unfortunately not, I gave them all away to Swoosh from Kansas City. I'll ask the Honda dealer sometime soon if I could

 

yup. thanks

 

Looks good, how did you end up mourning them?

 

this

 

Hmn... didn't Rob mount his with that too? I think his came off though, hopefully you'll have better luck

 

I used High Temp JB Weld

 

Honda dealers sell this part?

 

yes they get it from Acura. Honda sells Acura parts too. In most cases at a cheaper price

 

Best way to mount is screws, IMO.

Drill pilot holes into caliper and screw them in.
If you ever need to remove, all you do is unscrew two screws.

 

I think I have 12 or 16 of them sitting in my toolbox at work right now, brand new in package. New there would be a time when the price went up like in the states. I'll have to check how many I have but I might be willing to sell a set or 2.

In regards to mounting, I mig welded mine on, didn't want to drill holes into the caliper or the caliper bracket, and I thought that rtv or jb weld was kind of half assed in my opinion.

 

I need 2 sets if u want to sell , located in brampton. but will to drive to you. lemme kno

 

I keep on forgetting I have a set lying around somewhere, i will do this mod later in the spring

 

Mig welded them on? THAT. IS. BAD. ASS.

 

So you need 4 of them? Or 8? Let me look in my tool box and decide how many I want to keep for myself for spares, and how many I want to sell.

 

MGP the way to go for caliper covers no glue no welding just 2 simple clips and 2 screws with no holes and your done.There made of aluminum and there powdered coated check it out on You Tube

 

MGP ones look really fake, though.

 

No offense to anyone who buys or has them but to me they look like parts for a toy car

 

kk holla

 

Plus MGP Calipers costs $200 for all 4 vs new price for the RDX Calipers $12 a piece, which one would you go for?

 

Yeah they jacked up the price on these, good thing I bought a couple for my rears this past summer.

 

so i have 8 extra covers i will sell. let me know if you're interested, i can do $80 for all 8, so $10 a piece. If you were to go to the dealer, it would be around $110 after tax for 8.

 

^ This guy knows how to profit. Buys 8 covers for $25 and resells for $80

 

If he drops them off in the GTA then it's not bad. Understandable profit margins

I was once on "MontrealRacing" and someone sold a pair of 18x10 +25 JDM 5spoke JDM wheels for 300. That same day someone bought it. A week later they put it up for sale for 900, same condition---not even cleaned!

 

If you're coming to me, I can do $60 which I think is more than fair.

And on that note of rims, I sold my mint tenzo's to a guy for $450, two days later he was reselling them for $1300 with tires on them, tires that cost $500

 

where r u located again?

 

Waterloo, PM me if you're interested

 

I thought the dealer is charging $12 each? I mite as well go to the dealer and save my gas money

 

I think he wants $60 for 8 covers, which is a good deal.

 

oh ok, misunderstood. I'm still interested then
