Back with my 3rd tsx!

As the title says, it's my 3rd one. Check my sig for info on my first two. I was waiting FOREVERRRR to find a VBP tsx, but so damn hard to find in my area! Looked at a couple as they came up, one in KC and one in OKC (months apart) Both had low miles, but were pretty used up condition wise :/ Then I came across this for a real good deal, and I've always liked dark grey. I feel my only compromise is the parchment interior, but it's in great condition and I can't complain about that! I bought the car as it sits: 18" Axis Hiro wheels with 235/45/18 Michelin tires. Lowered on Tein S-techs, window visors, full led interior and license plate led's as well. Both oem carpet, all weather mats and trunk tray. My future plans are to get really static on coils, run 19's, flush fit with mild stretch. Plus various other cosmetic odds and ends. Ok, enough story telling, here's the (iPhone) pics!

Thanks! Yeah I wasn't able to get my first two to the level I wanted. I'm really hoping I get this one there!

How does the ILX ride compared to the TSX? When I was shopping a few months ago, I found a couple of lightly used ILX's with the a-spec package for 25g's. I almost bit, but went with the TSX instead. I love my TSX, but maybe a few years from now I will snag an ILX. A-spec is the only way to go.

sorry, but I can't give a good comparison. Ive only driven her car a couple of times on a quick errand. I haven't even put it in sport mode but yeah my wife and I didn't think much about the IlX till we saw this one!

I blacked out her grill today. Here's a quick pic I took when I finished. I tried to brighten it up a bit with an IG filter

Finally got new wheels. ESR SR08 in hyper black 19x9.5 +35 all around, with 235/35/19 tires all around. Now to get a little more lower...
*edit update* my previous wheels were not the Axis Hiro, but Axis Widetrack

The new wheels definitely look better! Nice picture and clean ride.
