Agreed. There's next to no clearance between a stock rim and the front caliper anyway. Presumably you'd need aftermarket rims with a substantailly different offset in order to fit a cover?

Besides, IMHO, if you're going to upgrade your brakes, then actually upgrade them rather than just dressing them up with a fake cover. :cool:

Yea.. its something like those stuffs, cant seem to find it in my magazines, maybe throw already.

Anyway if just simply change the piston/calipers to bigger ones or more pistons but not changing the master brake pump, the brakes will feel spongy and braking might be worse off, cause the same preasure is now spread to more area (more piston)....

i think it looks alright :p

did mine in a day, front and rears, removed the Calipers
also put the new discs on & new pads at the same time!

at first i bought VHT brake caliper paint which i strongly advise against there cans are terribly made and every time ive tried to use them they end up stuffing up

Ending up using a different brand caliper paint, cleaned them first just by scrubbing them with a brush and using degreaser

i like the end result

id advise against red with graphite pearl, blue i like

Nice DIY they look real tidy and have professional look :thumbsup: unlike some of the other blatant 2 min home job I've seen, never thought i would like the painted caliper look on the Euro

covers are just cheap and useless...get the real thing

yours? NSX one surely nice...

Indeed mine

Painted the front calipers on mine with Red Engine Enamel Paint.

Decided to go red because blue would look a bit strange on a Black Euro.

i painted my euro accord blue. i didn't take out the calipers, just sprayed right on it. i thought it looked good.

i could of taken off the calipers to do a decent/proper job, but chances are no one is going to go right up to my calipers and start being critical about the paint job you did, so there really isn't any point of doing a long job that no one else will ever notice.
