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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, most of the VIP posers still use coilovers + wheels with ridiculous offset and width. The result is sparks on the freeway, can't go over speed bumps and all kind of metal clunking noises when driving.

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?

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.
#187
Appriciated, what kinda wheels are you getting?
No the north and south.

Do you have any beam shots?
#188
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.

[QUOTE=AcuraRolling;15506768]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.
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

[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.

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