Hey all, I still can't decide if I want to get the factory underbody kit or not...
In some angles the kit makes the car look really stylish and in other angles it makes it look kind of bulky.. I am not a kid any more (I am 25) and want a stylish but classy look.
I want your guys opinion, DO YOU GUYS LIKE OR DISLIKE THE FACTORY BODY KIT?
peace

 

i am in exact sme situation

 

I rather have the cash... unless the dealership will throw it in for free...

I think without, the car has a more classy look. With = sporty

 

I was in the same situation as you, that's why I went with the EuroR kit instead. Personally, I think the EuroR kit is LESS agressive compared to the US OEM one. But that's my taste..others are differnet.

 

I like the look for the aggressiveness. I am the same age you are, well in 2 months. I think the kit adds both aggressiveness and class to the TSX, but I can't justify ~$1000 for something that will cause me more worrying than necessary while driving. The TSX is what I drive daily, so I can't constantly worry about scraping the kit whenever I go up a ramp. In NYC, the pot holes are a bitch also.

 

I love mine, and IMO you'll never worry about scraping it. I never scraped mine until I lowered my car.

 

Yup, once you have it on, you'd wonder why you hadn't done it sooner. Besides, the TSX is a sport seden, make it sporty.

 

I compromised and added the front spoiler only. I prefer the side and rear view without because it makes the car look lighter and sleeker IMHO. However, I think the base front end is a little unbalanced and the spoiler appears to make it much more agressive and sporty. I covered the visual difference in ride height between the front and sides by adding the splash guards.

 

IMO it all comes down to nothing but personal taste/preference

 

and how much money you got

 

Im getting it eventually. It adds to the look.

 

mugen....nuff said

 

Your color choice may also add to the "bulky" look. I have the PWP and IMHO it looks bulkier than CG or SS.

 

Don't bother with the OEM U.S. Kit...I would go with the EuroR Kit. Personally I think it looks a lot cleaner

 

Cool avatar!!!

 

What happened to rep pts??? I can't give rep any more...

 

they took em off...

 

Too bad. I liked having lots of rep pts.

 

I also went for the front spoiler only. It changed the whole look of the car.

 

Here's mine and I'm happy with it.
