My progress so far - New member from Northern VA

Hey everyone, I thought I would share my progress on my 04.

I bought it back in April from my local Acura dealership. It had 102K when I got it.


My first mods were window tint (35% Suntek Infinity), M3 trunk lip, and a Tein S-tech/Tokico HP suspension setup. The springs hadn't settled in this pic.


Here it is today. I have added the OEM lip kit, and picked up a set of 17x7 5zigen Super 6's with my stock tires (I think I'm the only one to have these on a TSX), and I had the chrome trim pieces on the grille color matched. I might replace the wheels with 18's soon.



Left to do:
Fix knocking noise on right front
Replace all speakers and bypass the stock amp
Replace the rear brakes

And most of all, enjoy it!

Thanks guys!

I just logged on and saw this, but I would have definitely considered going to Richmond for sure. I'll keep a look out in the regional forum so I don't miss the next meet.

Also, I should have pictures by next week of my new wheels. Finally, after looking at what seemed like a billion wheels I decided to go with the Maxxim Winner (off brand of Konig) in 18x8 +45 with 225/40 18 Falken Azenis PT-722's. They are pretty light at 20lbs each.

My current 5Zigen Super 6's 17x7 +43 with the stock size Michelin's in awesome shape (tires just balanced) will be up for sale if anyone would be interested.

The new wheels:

Here's a few quick pics I just took. I wasn't able to wash it as I normally do, but the touchless wash works just fine.

I like the new wheels more than the Zigens, but IMO it still needs a little drop to get rid of the wheel gap

Thanks for the feedback.

I think the pictures make it look slightly higher, but I drive it everyday and the height works perfectly for me and the roads in my area.
