Thanks Bro! I was very hesitant about the new TSX when I first saw it.. but it really grew on me, and after I purchased it and especially the mods I have done, its by far the best TSX Ive owned out of the previous two I owned (2004 and 2006). If you get one, you wont regret it! This is my first Automatic since the other two were six speed, and I am very impressed with how responsive the auto is... very fun to drive. Its definitely no race car, but its a amazing car to drive.

Hey Euro2JDM,
Quick question. Did you happen to take a picture of the back of your HFP wheels before you installed them. I need to check for spacer stud clearance but cant find a picture online of the back surface of the wheel where the studs go. Wanted to see if you happened to take a pic. If not I will just take the wheel off, but figured I would check for pics first. Thanks, hows the car coming along?

The HFP wheels flow perfectly with your car especially with the drop. Nice car.

Adding some updated pics with the spacers and window tint. Got some other mods on the way so using this as my build progress page.

10MM Front and 15mm Rear Ichiba Spacers (Before Tint):


35% Tint:




Installed the Yellow Lamin-x film on the fogs. Next up is the rear window spoiler and Mugen visors.

Agreed! Although I pretty much stay in the AV with an occasional trip to Huntington beach to see my family. Might have to make it to the next meet when there is one.

Did you have to do anything to the wheel stud when you installed the spacers?

Yes, anything over 5MM requires longer studs which I used in the rear and front, but got the V2 studs for the front since they are easier to install. Save yourself the work and get the V2 Ichiba's as they bolt directly onto the stock studs and are hub centric.

They do offer 18" HFP's but they aren't off the Accord. They're off the Civic I believe.

Thanks!

I am running Toyo Proxes 245/35/19

I am running the H&R Sport Springs, still holding strong after two years of use and I have no rubbing whatsoever but I am also not aggressively flush with the fender either, close, but not hella flush

No camber kit, I just make it a point to rotate every 3000-5000 miles. With that being said I just went through my first replacement tires so I got almost two years out of my first set. That also speaks highly for Toyo, really great tires!

This car looks good BUT. I have reservations putting bronze wheels on a grey car but the drop/stance is just RIGHT. Enjoy the new add-on.

Totally agree with the observation but the funny thing is no one has once mentioned the bronze appearance of the rims, they literally look like 100% color match even up close. Appreciate the feedback though!

I could have sworn that they were gunmetal more than bronze.... the car looks great, it's my reference for looking into H&R springs.

Might as well turn this into my progress thread. Got the OEM deck spoiler installed. Not a huge fan of spoilers but this one really compliments the TSX well!

You car turned out great!! Do you have any new update on your car? Also, after you installed the wheel spacers, did you roll your fenders? if not, how close are you to rubbing the fender lip? thanks!!

Hey, was wondering what center caps you're using. I tried the ones from my oem 18's off my 2010 tsx but they didn't fit snug. They would easily spin.

Thanks and car looks good. I have the same color.
