i want the jdm grill for now... i have a black/black tsx and the chrome in the front grill is too much. i would rather get the clean honeycomb grill like the jdm euro-r.

after that... i prolly won't do anything major.

Now that's a man with a plan!

I'm building a custom fiberglass subbox, changing out all of the green tinted interior lights to white&blue, and modding the navi to play DVDs on the 8" LCD.... does that count?

Do you re-use the Acura emblem? I like that grill too but I don't want the Honda emblem on it.

I have the JDM Euro-R Grill and Euro-R emblems(front and back) on backorder from Polepositionproducts.com. Just need to figure a way to keep the "A" emblem without it looking like an amateur job. A Clearbra kit is coming within the next couple of days I'll have a local pro install it. I have a hyperground system installed and just waiting for Comptech's Icebox and rear anti-sway bar. Also looking to add fog lights(oem) and oem spoiler later on. Dvd system combined with Navi within 12 months.Last, but not least, hoping Hondata comes out with a ecu upgrade next year. Oh, if Koni comes out with a suspension upgrade I'll be on line to get it. That's all folks!

let us know about the A fitting where the H goes on the jdm grill. i'm really interested in getting one, but would rather have the A than the H.

Most of the controls (like window switch, radio switch and the cubby hole above the ashtray location) have green lights. This is very distracting, IMO, with the blue ambient light and dashboard lights (mostly white or bluish hue).

e_electro is doing some incredible things. I can't wait to see them at the Chicago meet.

that's pretty stupid. I didn't ge to see the car at night, it was around sunset when I test drove it. I thought everything was going to be blue or red like the VWs have it.

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

I'm waiting on comptech -- I'll probably sport some comptech springs and aftermarket wheels. After that i'll have to see what dynos bare out to see if any other mods are worth it.

I plan on getting 18" wheels and TEIN TypeFLEX when it's available in the U.S. I know that the FLEX is already out in Japan for the EuroR as well as the 24TL (which basically the same as the TSX). Also, I will get the OEM front lip only for now. Maybe I'll get the rest of the kit, but that depends on how good it looks with just the front lip on. That's pretty much it for mods. I'm planning to put that many mods on like in my Prelude and Integra. Got tired of keeping up with all this stuff.

Hey Vwong, keep me posted on your front lip add-on. I'm planning to get the mugen add-on, not the whole thing. But I wasn't planning to get the side sills or back, but I'm afraid the rest of the car won't match. Keep me posted!

THANKS!
