RonJon has a Raven wheel? You mean the Inspyre in Raven Black?

Personally I think the Legends will look better.

S/C is way overrated Comptech is pushing only 8 psi I think and is not worth it IMO, 3K for not much, stay N/A. The body kit will stand out, but I never like anything more than OEM lips/kit, too much kit says steal me

honestly, I will go with the oem kit because you will ended up paying over $1000 and the kit is just whatever. The oem kit can give you the clean look but also can give you the aggresive look.

Actually, it's more like 5psi and $3,600-$3,800 for the CT S/C.

However, I don't think you can look only at the peak gains to judge the value of the S/C - you also have to look at the power under the curve. With the S/C-specific Hondata reflash, the VTEC point is lowered to 3K RPMs which means you'll putting out near max torque at 3k (instead of 5k), so I'd think your acceleration improvement would be more than the peak numbers let on.

Let's just say I know where my money's going ...

this kit is nice, if you're going for that aggressive look.

the comptech s/c may be a bit pricey for a high school kid, but kudos to you if you can manage that.

vizage kit doesnt fit well and the sideskirts are add ons to the original. IMHO dont get it, you wont be happy. Plus the back looks rice. I was almost going to get it but I did more research.

yea i completely agree with you, i saw a few side and back pics of it and now i def dont like it, its very odd looking at certain angles and has almost a vip look to it to me which does not fit the tsx well at all haha
