got in on ebay recommended by Mr. N.C. unfortunately he only had 2 colors grigio and glacier blue my color...he had the best offer option I offered $160 he took it--he had listed for $250...plus $60 for shipping

...might be more expensive for other colors since my color has been discontinued they are just getting rid of it dirt cheap but look around in ebay

here is the guys store in ebay...contact him see if he can hook you up

Didnt have time to debadge today, quickly washed it...thanks for all the compliments...

Ed: I think its the ONLY 2nd gen TSX Glacier Blue thats modded

TOBY: had to raise a smidge man my driveway is liking going up the curb I would street park it everyday but its not allowed in my town.

KillerG: I PM you my number let me know I work 9-5 sooo shoot me a text on Next tuesday...

Joe: You made it cuz you put on blast for dissapearing and not showing up with any mods, and were competing to make the CU2 crew!!! lolzzz


WELL here I took some close ups of the grille and side skirts because I know people are going to ask!!!....my photographer friend is in Canada so ur stuck with my photography skills Enjoy nontheless










getting bigger tires to close up the gap Im happy with the drop unfortunately I went with 215/35/18--- might go 215/40/18 should lessen the the wheel gap

Way to represent GBM! Yeah, you dont see many modded GBMs. I am only doing wheels, tint, and led interior on my glacier blue. Its my daily driver and I dont want to spend any more money than that on the car.

I have 10% tint all around, other than that it is stock with the oem wing spoiler, mud flaps, and body side moldings as options that it came with. I am going to get the 19" RDX wheels in sparkle silver (since they dont come in gunmetal) with 245/35 tires on them. I am going with those wheels as I can get them new for $675 shipped. Cant really get any other 19" aftermarket wheels for that cheap, plus I like the look of the RDX wheels which will be more flush than the stock 17's. I need to get pics, but right now other than the dealer options I stated above, it looks stock other than the 10% tint.

looking good man! i guess you couldn't get the other bars to fit for the grille huh?

lol even if you raise it a bit, those flaps will scrape for sure. im only lower an inch right now and i scrap those on some driveways, i plan to go another inch when my wheels come though lol
