Coilovers, Rims, Carbon hood, new body kit, big brake kit, carbon trunk, jdm headlights, I could go on and on with what it COULD be.

When you post the pics of your changes, please learn to resize them without changing the aspect ratio (i.e. width:height ratio). That one is crap.

update:

hey guys...ok so heres the real deal...like i mentioned after the original post..i should have called it "complete" makeover...well...i actually didnt do anything to the car at all...what i did was trade it in for an 06'.. ..i know a few of you guys here have traded in your 04's for an 06'...i just wanted to mention it in a different way...iv'e always wanted the PWP but wanted the ebony interior and i have always regreted not getting the navi...so now since the 06' offers everything i have wanted..i went for it...the integrated foglights and bluetooth is a major plus for me...originally i was gonna trade it in for a TL but i just love the TSX so much especially now with the changes they have made/added to the 06' model...i can remember how much i fell in love with the TSX when i bought my 04' and now...i can honestly say that i have fallen in love all over again...
so i guess now i'm an official member of the 04' to 06' converter...pics and impressions coming soon...

Hey Drigo,

Your new PWP looks sweet. Thanks for bringing it by. I agree with the interior color, the ebony is very nice. We need to do a Jax meet........ Congrats

Congrats, drigo! Did your '04 have MT and does the '06? Can't remember. The TSX is great, and people who buy trade '04's for '06's prove it. There's nothing like it in its class.

Oh, yeah:

thanks guys...my 04' was an auto/non-nav...the 06' is also an auto..but this time i got the PWP/EBONY...i owed a little over 20g's on the 04' and they gave me 20g's for it...so there was only a few dollars difference..
as i mentioned before...i love this car so much that i just had to upgrade to the 06'...i couldn't be any happier with the color combo i got...from what i was told by both local dealers..there was only 4-5 pwp/ebony with navi in the southeast...they located the car south of me and only took 5 days to arrive from the day i bought it...they gave me an 06' for a loaner until my car arrived...can't wait till after the break-in period...the 06' feels somewhat better than the 04' when it was new...i also thought about putting on just the front lip but decided not to..i like it the way it is now...i'm just gonna get the clear bra put on next week and install my m3 lip spoiler as soon as i get it painted..(took it off from my 04')..bluetooth & navi is the best...anyways..enough talking...hope you enjoy the pics...mods please move to photograph section if needed...thanks...

thanks! i really wasn't attracted to the tan interior nor the wood trim..it looks good but i like the ebony trim so much better...they had alot of the pwp/parchment with and without navi at both dealerships...but i wanted to do it right and get everything i wanted this time so i waited...besides the wait wasn't long...congrats on your car also !!!
