Looks generic enough, that there may be a good chance it'll work in the 04/05s

Does anyone know if the 2006 TSX has a better turning Radius versus the 2002 Acura RSX?
On the RSX, it is really poor.

Why did acura change their Horse Power ratings? their web site shows 205 for the TSX???but my understanding is, compared to other Horse Power standards, that would be around 220 ??

There's a new way to measure HP and under the new system that's the number (205) Acura came up with. One can make all kinds of guesses but unless someone has the money to actually do the test of an 06 under the old system, the guesses will stay just that, guesses.

Biker, who can't believe how people are so interested in paper HP numbers instead of real world performance.

We just need someone to dyno a stock 06 so we can compare to the dynos of the 04/05 (like the ones on the hondata page ) so we have an apples to apples comparison. Any of you new 06 owners wanna take one for the team?

Why don't you search for the info yourself? You should able to determine that all by yourself with just a minute or two of searching.

Did anyone notice much difference on the test drive, between an 05 and an 06? I'm taking both for a spin in the next couple days, my guess is, you can't tell much difference on the drive?

you won't feel a difference because there is NONE. the engine rating is just a number. both will put about the same amount of power to the wheels. why do people still not understand this? it is very simple, yet people make it very difficult.

Does anyone know where the Auxillary jack is located in the 2004 Acura TSX?
I am unsure how to use the this feature in my vehicle.

How you looked in the owner's manual for the answer?

2006 TSX New Pics -Carbon Grey with BODY KIT

The new body kit on display and the first 2006 carbon grey I have seen.
I think the kit makes the fog lights look more normal/better then without the kit.
Overall the body kit looks excellent as does this car, in my opinion. The tint looks good as well. The car appears to ride a little high, a 1 to 2 inch drop would make it look even better.

That looks awful.

CG, have a look at what TL rims will do without a drop.

I think it would look better with the 17 inch silver star TSX rims personally, that is what I am getting on mine.

The car looks good, but needs to be lowered a little.

THOSE ARE TL RIMS, CHROMED.

those rims look terrible unless the car is dropped. the body kit looks nice on the CGP. I don't like how it looks on my Royal Blue Pearl though, glad we didn't get it. (maybe something to be added in the future.

Yes it has been discontinued. The RBP does not look anything like the car on the website in the build section. Check several threads to see how it really looks.

The RBP definitely doesn't look like the car on the website. Neither did the ABP, really. The RBP on the site is a lot lighter. So is the Graphite. But then, pictures just don't show the true nature of the RBP.
