For a Base TL without Brembos, it would be 4.

For a 6MT or TL-S that has Brembos, the only 2.

 

But Will...what if someone with Brembo want to bend and flex the cover to fit OVER the big caliper for that custom look?

 

Here's mine:

 

are the letters raised? if not, how did you paint around them? paint and wipe?

 

the letters are not raised. I ordered decals from grfxp.com and applied them after paint

 

I have been trying to hunt these down through a dealer or anyone else who will ship to Canada. Does anyone have any ideas? the dealers I have checked with, and hondapartsjim have been unable to help.

Thanks

 

try Atlantic Acura in Nova Scotia. Its the biggest acura dealer in the Maritimes. not sure where your located but thats who iM GOING to call

 

will this fit on second gen MDX?

 

It should fit only on the rear calipers as the fronts are dual piston calipers (Bigger calipers). In comparison to the 3rd Gen TL (Automatic, non type-s versions) have a single piston caliper.

 

Even on the S2000, it didn't really look right on either.

 

so that's just a cover that fits onto the caliper?

 

Oh yes. Yes, it is.

 

Anyone tried putting these on the rear of an 03 CL? think they will fit?

 

The tabs bend, so as long as your caliper isn't HUGE, it'll work...even if it is, it will work, but might look stupid.

 

Will these fit the 4G TL 2012? If so where do I buy them in the states?

 

Acura Dealership...you'd need to know the dimensions...they're bendable tabs, but it might look too small depending on size.

 

Is the pricing on oemacuraparts for one cover or all four?

 

price is for EACH. I just got my install last Sat and bought them back in 2012 .

 

 

Rockstar!!!!!!!!

 

Luda!

 

My man!! How are things?!? Hope all is well and hope to see you guys at a gathering soon!! Question about these covers as I'm going to pick some up, I READ that break changes can be done without removal of the cover, but i also READ that the dealer will take off the covers. What is true, as I don't want to pay install to someone to put them on for me, and then have to get them reapplied when I need to get my brakes done.

 

Naw...you can remove pads/caliper without removing what they're affixed to.

Sunday, we meetin...come on out, sucka. We'll set up an impromptu recording booth.

 

LMAO.... Know anyone who can install these for me when I buy them? Yes im sure its easy... No I dont do labor.... LOL

 

All the actors I know do their own stunts!

 

^^^ LoL.......

 

 

Since it was said that to do brake pads the covers dont need to come off... What about if you are changing out your rotors? Just trying to understand when they might ever need to come off, since they get stuck on with RTV.

 

I can surely tell you for the rotor change the cover DOES NOT need to come off. If you mount like me.

 

thanks for posting~!!

 

Yup - it depends on how you mount it. I have mine mounted the same way as OP and no problems changing brake parts.

Just be SUPER careful to the caliper after you remove it, as if you rest the caliper on the control arm or rotor, you will scratch the paint on the caliper cover, and it will rust.

 

Finally completed this mod. It was a little challenging getting the covers to sit in a way that they would look the best, but once that was done, used the RTV and they are on there really good. This subtle mod adds to the overall look! Doesnt really draw attention to the calipers but makes them look better then without the covers. Thanks guys, appreciate all those that do these mods and help others!!

 

Just finished mine, front and rear on a 5at 04 TL. They looked so good brand new, but I had to go for the blue theme. Love it.

 

Get Acura logo's for the rears.

 

I was going to, but I didn't want to overdo it lol. I still might in the near future to balance it all out.

 

^that looks great.. what wheel/tire spec setup are you running there

 

Looks good. I wonder if RTV is the best way to glue it since calipers tend to heat up pretty quickly. Maybe copper silicone, the one used on exhaust gaskets?

 

^I used black rtv and that's it. They've been on there for three years so so? No problems at all.

 

Thanks man. Running 19'' Avant Garde M510 wheels. 8.5'' wide in front, 9.5'' in back. Tires are Continental DWS 245/35/19 all around (so backs have a TINY stretch).

The RTV doesn't feel stable when you first put it on, but 2 hours later you know that it won't mess up. Just got StopTech rotors and pads put on, mechanic had no problem doing it with the covers on there either.

 

Installed for 3 years with RTV as well and have replaced pads once with no issues.
