Used them on an accord. Never again. The just dont look right to me. I'll either paint or powder coat the caliper. Ive just painted mine flat black to just have them fade away.
How-to is in cosmetic section.

I have had a set on My 2011 and IMO they work as they should. They give you a different look. (Some folks do like it some don't). But they do keep the brake dust to a minimum. But I would caution that you need a set that is made for your calipers. I've not heard that anyone is making them for the 06, or if the older 10-15 versions will fit the 06.

No thanks, that there is rice at it's finest...

Plus, they keep caliper heat from exiting, and air from hitting them...
