i know they are brembo but i would like to know if they sell any brake caliber cover (replica) just to put it on top of my oem calibers (all this is just for look)
i have found this but it had the brembo logo in them. i'm looking for the acura logo.

600 degree crayons- wow where do you get those? lol
paint your calipers with black caliper paint or engine paint or bbq paint- then hand paint what you want on them- SEE the DIY section
Looks bery bery ~bimbo~like and fools those at a distance

You can find the caliper covers on ebay. Maybe even the Acura stickers. There's a DIY in the 3G garage on how to do the Acura name and paint the calipers. I would think the covers would hold in the heat from braking.

This comes up every once in a while. Here's some reading:

all that i wanted to know was how it look. i do not want brembo brakes nor i want to change the entire brake system, i thought it looked cool how the caliper said "acura" and wanted to ad something similar to mine just for look. Why should i invest $500+ just if i want to do something small to the car.
i do not want to be showing off saying that i have brembo, just like people like to put the front acura logo on their bumper, put 07-08 bumber to a 04-06, switch their navi logo wallpaper to a custom one, it just for look nothing else.

I saw a guy selling his Brembos for TL for 90 bucks. For 90 bucks i would buy real Brembo that Say Acura on them instead the covers. It improves the looks and improves braking performance.

Don't do a brembo conversion....
You will need a million and one parts. Trust me, I have them sitting in the living room now.. A brand new knuckle setup. Not worth it... go after market.

He wasn't bashing those ideas. I think he was trying to say this: I want something aesthetically done for visual purposes such as those ideas. He does not want to spend a lot of money for something to look good. He would rather buy these for 30 dollars to give the illusion of brembos'. Illusion's such as the 07-08 bumper on a 04-06 and the custom navigation background and such.

ROTFL......cummon man!! You're 29 years old with a nice care...why do you want to "rice" it out? If you like the look, put the $$ you spend on those stupid covers away, save for a few months, and get real Brembos................

Took this from the other thread:
What's wrong with using covers if one so chooses.
I posted this before, but added a few items:
After being on here for a while and seeing the changes to the headlights, tail lights, side markers, painted and cut grilles, added fogs, de-chromed trunks, roof spoilers, trunk wings, 19” & 20” wheels that have been painted white, black, or even multi colored, colored wipers, slammed to the ground and no ride quality, cut bumpers, door vent visors, black roof, black hood, both naturally installed on a TL that is not black in color, chrome/stainless steel pillars, LED obsessions, racing stripes and huge tires, why not install the caliper covers, what’s the big deal?

I'm going to throw this out there in a not gentle way, putting feaux-Brembos on your car is seriously rice. It's something the ricer-Civic crowd would do. You may as well put one of those fake Ebay turbo-whistlers on your car as well :P
If you want your calipers to look better, pick up the G3 Paint Kit and paint them yourself. Otherwise, don't be surprised if you get called out when you go to an enthusiast meet.

An aftermarket part that was never meant to be on your car, albeit one that was designed to make it look like you have more performance than you actually do, is rice
