Freshened up my brakes a bit
 

So I've been trying to track down a squeal and was pretty sure I didn't lube everything properly when I changed out the pads and rotors. Simple fix but I also had one of my thread holes strip out on my Brembos so I had to get that fixed too. Pulled everything off and got Timeserts installed and was going to have the calipers taken to a powder coater. But they bailed. However I was still determined so I did it myself. Also did the RDX rear caliper covers. I wish I would have taken more time to do it. Little inperfections and such but looks ok.

Ill get some night time oictures soon as im curious what they look like at night with the orange sidemarker and corner light lit up

If anyone is even on here anymore lol

Nice

looks good. I've been wanting to give mine a fresh coat of black.

I liked that I had them off the car to work with. Was able to be more throuough. But I would just say take your time if you do it. I think it would've come out better if I would have

is it a manwell TL? :type:

I think the "Acura" logo looked better, reminds me of a Subaru now.

Tis indeed. Only the manuals came with the stock Brembos

I thought about it but I figured if I'm gonna do something flashy I liked the Brembo a bit more

type s in 07-08 had them regardless of manwell or slopomatic :type:

I didn't know that lol. Mines an 04 and don't think they did an S version until later. But they did do a factory A-Spec model (which this is) which has some cool tid bits

So also freshened up the headlights. I think it goes super well with the calipers now that the amber corner lenses stand out more

looks good :goodjob:

Lookin good!

whoever thought up that rear window visor and called it JDM is a genius :icon_lol:

yes you can borrow the fender roller :031:

Thanks guys. Chris next time I have time I'll text you to pick up the roller

Next project I did was the headlights. Didnt do anything crazy. Just blacked out the crome part of the headlight. Replaced the silica packets. Hit the lens' again with a restoration kit. And sealed it back up. I also painted the little ring in the pic orange to match the brakes. I thought it may look a little ricey but I think it was a nice touch. I goofed and left a little residue on the inside of the lens but still looks ok.

Dang killin it !

looking good :thewave:
