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.

Lip, yes, wing, OEM or otherwise, definitely no.

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...
