Good job Ryan, now you pissed him off!

Harper

Lol, don't mind op he's just a funny guy. Aero kit + spirior tails just about wraps it up. Maybe a decklid + roof/window spoiler? Or if you're gonna go all out mugen front bumper.

xtcnrice

boost

iSeeYouTwo

Gold door handles! Lol

ssjoeboe9

I honestly think that if the chrome around the jewel eyes was painted gold it would look really cool contrasted with the black housing. You should take a close up, and have someone photoshop it for you.

alexbenz

Thought you got led tails? I wanna see more pics of the headlights from the front both on and off.

Was wondering if you were part of Azine, saw your car on IG yesterday. Looking good.

You're in SoCal right, your part of PureVIP in Sac?

iSeeYouTwo

You can see the LED spirior tails in this pic/partially



Also I didn't know you were freinds with James Harden

iCrap

What color is the car?? Maybe its the photos or my screen but it looks almost bronze.

xtcnrice

Pretty sure it's GLM or whatever the stock grey TSX colour is. It's likely just the post processing that made the car look a bit bronze-ish.



But this reminds me....

AcuraRolling

Mugen to aggressive, I am going to do the sport kit. But have ways been leaning towards custom one off bumpers but idk.

Lol someone else told me that, just gonna wrap them gloss smoked vinyl or color match.

That was the original plan but "James harden" aka my twin brother talked me out of it for re-sell reasons.

Yes SoCal. I'm part of PureVIP SoCal chapter, but were all one unit.

Best friends! My day 1 hahha

AcuraRolling

Heres a close up. Hard to see. Maybe I'll talk another with the sun out directly on it. Also a side shot with the park light on and jewels.

AcuraRolling

Only if I can get this made! I may start looking for a place that can make this for me.

KillerG

have an open mind champ

cant throw on gold wheels and expect everyone to suck you dry.

ssjoeboe9

Look at how small the supercharger is lol

Im pretty sure that doesn't exist though.. I could be wrong.

I've been chasing down this hood for a LONG time! But Im pretty sure it was only ever a Mugen Concept.





I NEED this hood with the SCOOPS!

xtcnrice

are you referring to the plastic cover pieces that only expose the head and the SC? or the SC itself? it looks pretty damn clean!

for SC the only real "plug-and-play"-ish solution would be the CT-E. There are a lot of 9th gens with centrifugal SCs though. I believe some of the Russians have done the same to the CU2, but probably requires deletion of AC and relocation of other components

But yeah that cover looks nice lol. That valve cover also looks bling as hell with that CF Mugen spark plug cover.

ssjoeboe9

Looks like a good insulator to keep your engine nice and toasty after boosting for a while lol

xtcnrice

OP after the VIP/show car look tho

AcuraRolling

Lol, I don't expect much. But I can live without stereotypes though.

I bet. But like all things, their are ways to help keep the toasty to a minimum. I don't think it exist either "the plastic covers" so I'll look into getting them made.

xtcnrice

Maybe check out the ones that come with the V6 model

ssjoeboe9

Yeah the V6 ones definitely fit, and they don't look too bad either! It's just a slightly larger hole in the middle haha

XTC.. post a picture of that one dude who put the V6 covers on. I think he was in the CU2squad FB page.

usdmJON

That is a good tip to learn early if you want to enjoy your stay here.

According to some of the more prominent members here...

That was posted just thus morning. Ive removed the name to not call out that ignorant soul.

TSX looks amazing man. Love the wheel choice. I think I saw these posted by threepiece or VR.... actually both. Super sick man. I hope to have those guys re-posting my pics in time. VR imported my wheels a while ago. Will be going to them to rebuild them once I am ready.

Keep up the good work man! Hope you keep us updated here.

Nice, yea the NorCal chapter has some clean whips. Is there a cen cal chapter too?

xtcnrice

That seems to be missing the bottom piece. Here's how it looks on a V6:

alexbenz

were the headlights a tight fit in the engine bay?

last question about the lights. Were you able to mount the bracket to the original mounting tabs of the tsx headlight? so are you able to adjust the beams manually or are they at a fixed spot?

AcuraRolling

Appriciated, what kinda wheels are you getting?

No the north and south.

Yes right fit. Direct center of the rear housing is less than a credit card front the engine bay. The inside top corner is less than a credit card away from the front rad support. I did not use the tsx oem rear housing, I only used the rear housing that seams against the from lens. By doing that I was able to use the adjustments to adjust the beam located on the mdx rear housing. Problem - you can't get to them while the lights are installed.

alexbenz

Do you have any pictures of the process? I've done quite a bit of retrofits but this seems crazy. On top of it its not a cheap retrofit either...

Do you have any beam shots?

usdmJON

Im actually already on them. Work VS-MX.
Very similar to the VS-XX just a slightly different design.

They are all genuine right now with the lips/barrels that came from work. Only 18x8 right now. Plans are to go 18x9.5 with 2.5" outers.

AcuraRolling

No pics of the process, just imagine taking plastic and "Melting it together to form the rear housing. In that process alone it took me about 15hrs per light to complete. No beam shots. My lights have to be adjusted again because when the guy re-sealed them I guess he moved the light around and the driver side is off pointed a little so beam shots won't be up until I redo them mid august and also replace the passenger light altogether unless I decide to do custom DRL's which seam the way to go. Save money and set myself apart from other jewel eye retrofitters.

Same wheels in yor avatar? That's a wheel you don't see too often at all,good choice.

jdmaszfcuk

bro whats the specs on your wheels and how much inch lip do u have?

alexbenz

Oh thought you did the retrofit. Who did them for you? I'm on the fence about doing this mod. Found a MDX headlight at the junkyard... the headlight has broken mounting tabs though but they want 150

AcuraRolling

19x10 +5 (4" lip) 19x11 +12 (4.5" lip)

[QUOTE=alexbenz;15507171]I did the retrofit, I just paid someone with experience to reseal them for me as i have never done that before either. is it the passenger side? If so buy it and sell it to me for a profit as long as it works 100%. ill tell you how to check it if you get it/them.

AcuraRolling

finished a photo shoot recently, thought I'd share a few images.

alexbenz

Oh ok. I'll let you know tomorrow when I go check them out.

AcuraRolling

solid! much appreciated.

alexbenz

no problem, the guy mixed it up. They were RDX headlights...if i come across anything i'll let you know.

AcuraRolling

Thanks man.

AcuraRolling

came across a great shot of lil ole tsx today, figured i'd share

Harper

So shiny. Have you considered getting the chrome strip above the license plate to tie the spirior tails together?

xtcnrice

Yeah that's one reason I want the spirior tails haha.. my car already comes with it . I think this will be a nice subtle addition to OP's car.
