Hey guys with summer being literally right around the corner, and yesterday here in Toronto attested to that, I am looking into a visual modification for my ride, I am torn between two different ideas,

So for I have a 2005 PWP TSX, with RS*R Down Springs, Tokico HP Blue’s, H&R RSB, Injen CAI, and P2R Throttle Body Spacer….

Anyway I was considering buying 18x8” wheels to complement the drop? or should I go with the OEM Acura body kit? I cant decide, suggestions anyone?

Between those two, I would get the wheels. I don't think the body kit changes the looks that much, but new wheels are really noticeable

True.

Most people can't even notice the OEM body kit besides the obvious
lines it creates on the bumper where it is taped on.

Any and everybody will notice the rims, immediately.
So if it's a visual mod you're really after, go with the rims for sure.

Since the TSX A-Spec isnt as noticable as the TL's I'd say go for the rims = )

i guess i'm the oddball here, but I think the TSX in general looks a little too stock without a full body kit or lip kit. I would rather see a TSX kitted and dropped on stock wheels than a stock body TSX dropped on aftermarket wheels.

I noticed this when I put my g-games on last year. it looked funny without a kit.

I would go with the rims too. A nice set of wheels can change the look of a car more than a oem lip kit.

I'd get A-spec sides and rear with Euro front or Euro all the way around. I think
stock wheels look sweet.

I have to disagree with this. I think the Acura OEM body kit is one of the best visual upgrades. I don't care much for the rounded look of the stock TSX. I think it actually makes a huge difference. When I see another TSX on the road, that's the first thing I notice - whether or not the car has the body kit on. It makes the car look that much meaner IMHO.

i think either the kit or rims would be a definate upgrade visually. it'll make the car stand out more.

i personally think new rims look nice, but even nicer with the body kit. so i'd go with the bodykit first, then the rims.

then again, i have a kit and i'm still rolling with the crappy 07 OEM rims. so what do i know? haha.

I agree, I was torn between the too, but I think I might have to first go with the body kit first, every time I see another TSX It reminds me how crappy mines looks without the kit. However Acura Woodbine (local dealer) has mismatched body kits for sale, all four pieces for $645 before tax’s and paint.
