All,

I've had my tsx two years now (04) and managed to bust up the front bumper this AM. It's all cosmetic damage but I'll need a new bumper. I have already been mulling over various ideas for the car and now it looks like a good time to put them in action. Much of what I ask about here has been covered in other posts (that I have been reading through). I just want to be "sure" of my understanding of some things. In all, I'm looking for some ideas

1) Suspension: Looking at getting the A-Spec kit. Can anyone confirm the drop on a stock diameter wheel/tire combo (IE inches from top of wheel to wheel well)?

2) Wheels: Initially, before the bumper came into play, I was planning to go with G-Games 77S. I'm not sure about 1 or 2 piece. Anyone have shots of 2? Anyone know the exact fittment for those wheels in 18" (18x7.5 +48 offset)? Also, now that I may be going with a different bumper, I may do something less tame. Possibly something with a black/gunmetal center and polished lip like 55 tabbys but I'm fairly sure there are no fitment options for the tsx (and I cannot find anyone who carries tabbys).

3) Bumper: Since I'll need a new one anyway I was thinking aftermarket. I do not like the options out there that are overlays on the stock bumper (eg the Acura branded stuff) and most side/rear skirts. I lean towards just the mugen front bumper at the moment. Will just the front bumper look silly? Also, I'm not a fan of the empty "nose" on the mugen front bumper where the stock emblem etc were located. Can the stock stuff be reinstalled there? How does it look? Frankly have not looked into this area much. I'd appreciate any links or ideas for alternatives.

Any input is appreciated

there aren't many bumper replacements, the mugen, kenstyle and raven . there's also the jdm modulo front bumper replacement, search for more information, plus some other obscure ones like the buddy club or phase
