Need help with MODS!

HI all,

Just got a 2006 AT silver TSX, need to know if I know if I should go with factory front lip and side skirts or aftermarket, cuz Acura Canada is truly a rip off.

But really need a little guidance with beginner mods, cuz looking into cold air intake and some coil overs, but not sure which brand and where to get it.

Any input/help would be greatly appreciated!

most people in the forum are using either comptech ice box, injen or K&N CAI......
and most people here recommended Tein Basic or flex for coilover........

i saw a group buy for the TL body kit in the other forums, but i've never seen one for the more-recent TSX's (06/07's). does this have to be set up by an acurazine member? if someone set it up, i'd definately be interested in buying the entire kit for my '07.

I am from Toronto and I ordered my oem kit from that guy too. After shipping, duties & exhange rate(1US ~1.5Cdn back in 04), is still cost way less than local Acura dealer. I also got my a-spec suspension at the same time from them too. I really love it, it improve the ride for a lot as well as improve the handling. It is 1" lower so it reduce a lot of wheel gap but won't cause any problem being too low even with the lip kit installed such as I dun need to drive in extra caution on any mall or plaza entrance, any underground parking...etc.

yeah, i was thinking of ordering it from acura of escon as well. i tried asking hondaacuraworld.com/ray laks if they'd give a group buy discount for the 06/07 TSX body kits if there were enough people. he said the kit for the TSX is substantially larger than the TL A-specs and they can't be sent out at once, so no deal. sucks.
