Navi, no question about it. Personally I'm not a fan of kits, but there are others out there way better than the OEM anyways. Also with the Navi - you will never get lost. That's the #1 selling point right there.
Plus style points wise - the Navi just adds so many awesome features to the car, and quite a few possibilities for mods.

Get the NAV. It is VERY practical, looks good, and impresses passengers! Maybe, save your money and get the OEM kit in a group buy here. The last one went for $850. I'm going to do that.

NAV is AWESOME!!! I absolutely love it. You can always add am OEM kit later. You really can't add the awesome Acura Navi later, without spending a ton.

Agreed, the NAV is an awesome feature.. I haven't been to mapquest since I got mine!

Definitely go with that over the kit.

Navi, without a doubt. I love it. And like ccarbajal08 said, you can get the OEM kit for 850 or 900 and install it yourself later on when you have the money.

Navi, but for reasons no one seems to have mentioned yet: resale value. There's been some thought on the issue on the 'boards here for awhile (that in a few years, navi will be as ubiquitous as a CD-player), but until that happens, you've got something not many people have, and most people want. Supply and demand...

Feck the navi.
Feck the OEM kit.

Ooops! I have to pick one, eh?

I'd take the navi of course. When time comes to sell the T, that navi will hypnotize the potential buyer into a state of lust for the car. The loud rattles will not be heard and the bass buzz will be undetected. The sorry sucker will be so into the nav that he'll not even notice the MT failing miserably in his very hands.

Muhahahaha!!!

Without a doubt, Navi due to all the reasons already listed above. You'll never regret it.

Get the Nav. worth for every penny.


For body kits.... you can add it later. I am having the OEM kit. I suggest to get other body kit instead because there are too many oem kit out there. Or at least get the Euro R or A spec version.


This is a little off topic, but please concern my advice.
I have been in the form for about 3 months. Seem like many people have this stuff below.
Oem kit + fog light + eibach + 18inch wheel + Tint window.
some people with M3 lip.

There is nothing wrong of it, beside they look very nice on the TSX.

But.. i just want to see something new because people just having the same mod.

No mean to offence anyone. just my opinion.

Navi, more practical. youll kick yourself for not getting it.

Body kits, OEM or other can be found cheaper online and later on whenever you want it.

Nav! You can get the kit later. Can't get nav later.

And you should be able to get a lot more than a kit for 1800 bucks.

The navi also ties into the major systems of the car (it's not JUST for navigation) such as a/c controls, trip computer, stereo controls, and it's all by touch screen! I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't get the navi.....
