A few new pictures with new (to me) wheels and a question

I am pretty much set on what I am going to do to the car but am still considering am apsec kit, just not sure how much it will add. My car is an 08 so I think it looks good as it is. Any thoughts? I was also thinking about JDM lights...

Oh yeah I have a desk lid spoiler just haven't put it on yet....





I have an ingalls stiffy on its way and an Alutec bar, that's about it on the engine /drivetrain side since hondata hates us 08 poeple ....

I assume you're referring to the body kit, so I'll confess right off that I think they all look like something from a JC Whitney catalog. Leave the car the way it is.

You can go either way with the A-Spec. The car will look good regardless.

Nice wheels!

Thanks. I think I am going with JDM lights first. Might just eave the body kit alone, have never really been a huge fan anyway.

FYI - I just put new tires on the superleggeras. I went from 225/45R/18 to 235/40R/18. What a HUGE improvement, both in looks and feel. The Bridgestone Potenzas grip like crazy and the lower sidewall looks great. Pics to come after I put the spoiler back on and detail her....

Nice looking car.

I have a black 6 speed with parchment interior, too. It's a great combination.

I agree with you that the Aspec body kit may not be worth the trouble and cost. The lights sound good.

Aspec is a must in my mind. Your car looks like any other TSX out there but with nicer rims. It doesn't look bad...but you need something to really differentiate your car from stock ones.

Cool

Being a previous 08 TSX owner... I like it. The grill really adds something to the car. Your mods are just subtle enough to make a difference .....

Besides .... it's YOUR car, so negative responses don't really matter.

mdkxtreme - Your car looks great. I appreciate you posting those pics as gives me a MUCH better idea of the difference the ASPEC kit makes (especially with the JDM lights - are those JDM or teh DEPO/Fishcakes?)

Now that I see your car, I am reconsidering a kit.

It's not my car actually. I have a CGP and thought it would be better if I posted an NBP for comparison. I don't know if that member is on here but he's on tsx club.

The JDM headlight on that car is authentic. But the depo one looks EXACTLY the same. I've seen the depo one in person and I get baffled at how much they look like the authentic one.
