Installed mines yesterday, used the Black RTV, had to use masking tape to keep them in place for the RTV to cure, but they are on there good.
Below are a couple pics from my iPhone 4S, will get better pics tomorrow at our meet, need to detail the car.

I got mine last week and I know I changed the quantity to 2. But only got 1 and when looked on receipt they only charged for 1.
That sucks now gotta order another one.

Im planning on painting my front calipers and painting the rdx covers...My question would me im looking for a caliper logo that says "Acura" instead of "brembo" which i found nad his willing to do for 7 dollars. But his asking for me to measure it. Does anyone have measurements of a tls caliper? I measured the rdx and they are 3.5 by .5 can anyone double check this? and what about the front brembo ones?
A-spec rims on and this is how they look 
Oh and BTW I did my brakes with new rotors and i didn't have to remove the cover it has enough room and flex to get the caliper on and off just fine.

So basically, if u own a BASE MODEL and wanted to dress all four corners you would enter 4 QTY, correct?

Another genius idea born. Thanks man for your thread.......
btw I saw you on I-80E in NJ last Sunday, your car looks awesome on the highway. I actually noticed your calipers while the wheels were spinning. I thought they were the 6-speed Brembos. I was on a white Honda CBR1000RR, you wouldn't have recognized me so I didn't want to be a weirdo, lol.

How did you guys do it on the front brakes? the rear I followed the exact pic but for the fronts do I use the same "points" off the caliper cover, just the top and the bottom? Any pics? I wanna make sure I'm not applying rtv to something I shouldnt be

I got these almost a week a go. I did a test fitment on the back and it looks good. The front is a bit different though for the 5AT. Now, i know for the front i need to bend the tabs, but will i be placing the RTV on the callipper itself rather than like the back where i will be placing RTV on the bracket? For the front, is this safe? Lol- i guess i am over thinking it

Funny I had all 4 for a month or so now but because I don't know how to do the fronts they just sit there :/ so I'm in the same boat as you !
Ive had my set of four for a month now but have only done the rears. I also don't know how to do the fronts an am afraid ov apply rtv to an area that I shouldn't! S

^ i am going to wait to hear from the 5AT ppl that have done it. I see the pics but wanted to get some Steps how it is supposed to be done
I went on and did the front and back passenger side. Just couldn't wait lol. For the front- the tabs need to adjust for the cover to fir the caliper. Now, i had a little bit of hard time deciding where to apply the RTV but after a few tries placing the cover on, i applied the RTV where i saw scratched on the back of the cover. Hope that makes sense.
