They wont fit.
Also, for those of you who think the red calipers are the hottness, this is what they look like after a track day with someone (like me) who uses their brakes.
Not so sexy huh. And that's only a half day on them. You should see them now. They're practically black and the Brembo sh1tbox paint is flaking off.

Nice job!
I'm not a big fan of the "matte" look on calipers, or wheels, etc. but anything looks better than the faded stock parts
Anyways, for those of you looking for more of a glossy finish (like stock) I've had some fantastic results with the Folia-Tec caliper painting kit.
It uses both a lacquer and a hardener as opposed to the "rattle can" approach which makes it a bit thicker and more resistant to heat and chipping. This stuff has done me good for years with no touch-ups required either! It came highly recommended by more than a few peeps who track their NSX's and I can see why! Good stuff!

and I was using my a900 camera phone. I can snaps some shots with my trusty Nikon if anyone would like.
