I decided to install the new 2013 RDX brake covers to the rear of my calipers to give them a nice clean look to match the brembos up front. A lot of members have been doing them for the front of their non brembo calipers. Covers are $22.00 from the dealership look me no more than a few mins to install and repaint them black, then 2 hours for the RTV to cure. Let me know what you guys think!!

 

Hmm...they look very futuristic.

Not sure if I like it or not. Any pics of it with the wheels mounted?

 

Those look awesome! Much classier than the fake Brembo covers. Do you have the exact part # for these covers?

 

^^^ Hey, hey, hey-I don't know about that-but these are nice.

 

Debatable

 

No, sorry no picture of them with the wheels on because the VS-XX covers up a lot of the brakes, but they look amazing and def give the calipers a fresh new look. I will post up a picture of them later when I go get my car from detailing.

 

they look a million times better than our stock rear caliper. For the price, why not.. added to my list.

 

Yeah they for sure look better than the rears but idk about the Brembos...Brembos are hot

 

i like...I may be buying these to paint yellow to match my fronts

 

Looks nice, I may do this too oem rear calipers are ugly

 

Nice job OP! They look great! And at least you're not sporting around a fake BBK. I don't think people can really hate on these.

 

Looks hot

 

Definitely an upgrade!

I've never seen/heard of this mod before. Anyone got pics of these on the front? Maybe I'll get them for all 4 corners. hm.

 

Sorry for the night shots but here they are with the rims on.

 

Whoa, I want!

 

Was the original color? Did they say "Acura"?

 

I still like them even behind the wheels.

 

This is how they come like on the new Rdx

 

Did they take any modification to fit like some of the Brembo covers do?

 

part number plsss....

 

^this

will these fit on front and rear of a 5AT without modification.

x3 for part number

 

Come on! Spill it out OP. Very interested in doing this mod, waaaaayyy better than the shitty stock rear caliper.

 

Sorry for the Delay, I know someone did the front calipers with these cover i can't find the picture and don't know if he glued them in place but it was a direct fit.

Part number for the 2013 RDX brake cover is 45218-TX4-A00, you need to order 2x of these and cost about $22.00. Used Black high temp RTV to hold them in place, the only thing you do is adjust the 3 tabs on the cover the top one you don't glue you just pull up away from the caliper the side ones you adjust so that they grab on the caliper bracket. Use this photo as a reference to where the glue has to be applied.


Last two pictures I have here.
Picture of the rear wheel


Picture of the front wheel with the OEM brembos.



I used BLACK High Temp RTV, reason being it holds up to high temps and also does well in extreme weather from hot to cold in all conditions. Cleans off really good as well when your taking them off.

 

so is it this?

just want to make sure before i order? theyll clip on right away on an 04 tl 5at with BLACK High Temp RTV?

 

just ordered mine. now I have to find a yellow to match my g2 that I used up front for the brembos.

 

I know for the standard regular calipers on the front they fit just as they would for the RDX, you would be able to use a small self tapper screw to secure them to the caliper or if you dont want to drill into the caliper just use some RTV just as I used and glue them on, just let dry before you drive the car. And yes that has to be the ones and wow that's a great price you might as well order 4 of them and do all your calipers.

 

You want everything.

 

Clean mod...looks really good! Kinda thinking about this...but since I have Endless BBK in the front I don't want to take away from the clean look of that. Plus my rims cover up 90% of the rear caliper...

Nicely done though!

 

Looks great.

 

Would these covers be similar to the front brembos where certain rims must clear it? Or is it not much different with or without the cover?

 

are you sure that is the correct ones, thats a big price difference from $22


Did you pay $22 for two of them? Those are all 4 for less than $10.

 

These are not the same as brembo covers since most of them need modifications to fit plus you need to get the correct ones which also means your wheels must have enough offset to clear them. These covers stick out about 1/8th of an inch past were u mount it, in other words it clears even if you have a shit offset rims. And the part number I posted was right from the package so if he's finding it cheaper then order them up. Dealers always have them priced higher for profit.

 

i like.

 

that looks great nice job

 

me gusta

 

Damn great little mod Gus. Didn't even know you were still modding. Give me a call or text soon bro

 

I like the mod. Nice job and thanks for posting, OP!

 

Agreed-they look MUCH better than the OEM rear brake.

 

Little things here and there man, the biggest thing was the type-s front end. Ive been mostly just dealing with repairs and maintenance at this point.

 

Anyone got a better price? I called one dealership 15.50 the other 16.75 they don't have them in stock but I can pick them up tomorrow.
