hey guys,
there is a company called MGP that makes brake caliper covers,, and i was thinking itd be sweet to cover the ugly calipers on the accord euro, so i was lookign at getting these ones:
http://www.calipercovers.com/_e/2009_2010_TSX_Acura/product/20107-S-MGP-SA/20107_Full_Set_Caliper_Covers.htm
They arent the cheap imitation brembo covers, but i was wondering if anyone has them on their accord and if ppl reckon theyd look alright
and it says on the site that they are for 09-10 acura tsx (which is basically the euro right) but would they fit the 03 model euro ??

$200? are you drunk? LOL!
They do look pretty cool, but I'd just paint the caliper instead.

There is no way I'd pay $200 for them. Just buy $50 bucks worth of paint n paint the calipers as said before.
Spend that $200 towards some nice brake pads or rotors that will actually do something for the braking performance.
caliper covers are lame.

yeah i thought about painting them,, but does any paint actually last on the caliper ? i dont want paint flaking off or fading cause thatd just look even worse than they do now
i figure theres probably somewhere on ebay i can them for maybe 150 or so
id prefer these covers to paint or the plastic ones cause they are subtle but still have a nice look
i will keep you posted on how it goes

Just buy the proper heat proof caliper paint. It only cost me $30 bucks and they look great. Not worth paying anything over $50 bucks for and covers.

I was going to paint the calipers on my DC2R but was going to do a rebuild at the same time just for fun, that way they would have new seals and boots, and i could bead blast the outside so the paint would stick really well.
