Has anybody painted their calipers? If so, what color and what color is your car?
Quoted for awesome^ I would paint it silver like when it comes from factory.
Yeah red just stands out too much, black or even a silver/grey will look really nice and even more OEM-looking than red would.Red wont look oem cause they dont make oem red brakes on acuras. I like the idea of the acura logo but id go the same color as the lexus. Red is just too flashy for me.
That wouldn't be a bad idea actually to do a retrofit of the brembo brake calipers from a TL since the ILX doesn;t come with any performance package. we have to do something ourselves. And not to mention it will be cheaper but if any body does since you hav it out you might as well get the calipers rebuilt and have a fresh set in the ILX.Some random info.
The TLs use Brembo kits. It would be pretty sick to do a retro fit TL brake set up on an ILX.
Could be done, I looked at all the parts and compared.. looks like you could have everything you'd need for $1200.. that saves a pretty solid amount over a set of Stoptech or BremboSome random info.

those Calipers look solid, It would be nice if brembo kept their name on it instead of rebranding them to the manufacturer of the vehicle. Not orange but maybe just another color. Is that how they came or did you polish and repaint them because they look mint.OEM Acura TL brembo calipers

Brembo would be cool for the status that comes with having brembo brakes, but i rather have the manufactures name on it in this case, if it was some higher performance brake setup then I wouldn't mind at all with having brembo on it.those Calipers look solid, It would be nice if brembo kept their name on it instead of rebranding them to the manufacturer of the vehicle.
