make over for my CG

i just got in a wreck last week, (not my fault)
but finally the other parties insurance finally admit to fault. i was talking to the body shop and thinking about putting on the factory spoiler and fog lamps. i was asking for the factory 5 star gun metal rims but he said i was going too far. but anyhow, i just wanted peoples opinions on my decisions. i want to go for the sporty luxury car. i already have the factory body kit. just wanted to add fog lamps, rear spoiler, and in the future i was thinking of going with 18'' or 19'' gunmetal or black rims with polished lip. lower it about 2 inches the maximum w/o scraping too much. input anyone?

see i was searching for your past posts but cant remember your name. i remember your past posts talking about picking up your car, and you took pics with your phone cam at the dealership. thanks for replying, thats what got me into thinking about getting a spoiler. i love your car, thats the exact same setup i pictured my car to turn out to be. i love the rims too but costs to damn much and they're only 17s. if only they made them in 18''. oh well, who knows, i might just pick thoes up...we'll see....

your car is nice too. i should have taken the eibachs out when i traded in my cl, they have the same suspension and should fit in the tsx. i've been looking at aftermarket rims and dont really know what would look good on the CG, i like the acura silverstars. about how much do they run for? tell me under 2gs...

They were a little under $100. cant remember exactly. You should be able to keep the other wheels also unless they try to screw you.

you can find them on ebay for 600-700 shipped (with the center emblems which are another 40 bucks from the dealership). just do a search for TSX.

maybe i'll just get some aftermarket rims. this local shop i've been going to can get me some 19'' adr cypher rims gunmetal with polished lip for a good deal. they dont look too bad. i'm going with 19'' because i'm not planning on going fast. its auto and too slow anyways. if i want to go fast in the future, probably going to wait til JR comes out, if they do...



can anyone photochop this onto a CG?
