At least you aren't getting badgered for badging

I've actually heard of the TSX Type L, Longhorns edition. As long as you're in Southern California, against overwhelming odds, it can beat an Evo.

Anyhow, are you a Zaino guy? Your car looks hella shiny and good.
I'm a Klasse AIO/P21s (which, I recently learned, is the same as S100) guy. I use Sonus swirl removers/polishes with a PC, everything else is applied/removed by hand.

Not a fan of badges, re-badging or de-badging. But as long as you like it thats all that matters.

Just know that I'm making fun of you as you drive by.

Depending on where you live, I might make you do it. I'm in Missisauga and Pickering from time-to-time to visit friends, usually fly but just to have you make fun of me in person, I might drive my Type S out there and see what you've got.

Do you guys think it would look good with a trunk lip spoiler like this one ? I'm leaning towards yes, I think it gives the trunk edge a little "lift" that's graceful but not overbearing or wing-ish. Thoughts on that?

I think a lip spoiler would look great. I think the wings have had its day.Although I do like the rear breaklight on the wing.

I think it would look good, too -- adds just a bit of sportiness to the TSX rear end. dwest, is that a lip spoiler on your TSX in your avatar?

That's the OEM wing spoiler.
That's a thought. I'd love to see a peter_bigblock DIY lip spoiler!

Will it cover the Type-S badge?

It will definently look good. Lip spolier > reg spolier.

I hope you didn't steal the "Type S" badge from an RSX.

No, I bought it from Mr. Heeltoe. I'm going for the lip spoiler -- really like the look. Let's see, DIY... You know, a guy could make a lip spoiler out of front-door threshold weatherstrip and some touch-up paint! Or maybe a piece of wooden corner moulding bent just so... Hmmmm...
