Who thinks they have done the most modding

Just wondering after reading these boards so much over the past 9 months, who has done the most modding and how much have you dumped into the TSX so far....I'm think InspireS is up there along with JTso....anyone else??? Any sleepers out their that dont wanna brag?

Im only on the short end SO FAR with just:
OEM body kit
Injen CAI
Eibach pro-kit
20% tint
neuspeed front sway bar(just ordered)
neuspeed tie down bar(just ordered)
powdercoated calipers(coming soon)
And a double decker aluminum wing

One advantage is that JTso could have somehow designed that Honda engine under the hood himself without telling anyone. Loads of info to help speed the car up and mods that are worth every penny.
I'm slowly working on the mods, but I had ideas prior to making my purcahse of the car initially. Inspire S has had great inspiration over me to lead me in the right direction, he gets my vote.
Hopefully the credit card companies don't really want their money back! Just kidding!

Nocturnal--that accord was sick...why did you ever get rid of it? I'm sure if you put in as much work on the TSX, it will be one hell of a show car.

probably going to take a break from modding after I'm flat broke buying an engagement ring in fall. but till then I'm eyeing:

18" SSR Competitions (deal almost done)
Coilovers or just springs and bounce around
35% tint

Trying to complete my suspension work, after that.

DC Header
Full Euro-R body kit
Possibly Mugen grill/hood trim
Painting brake calipers, still unsure on this one

i would say inspires - most modded, and nicest tsx by far...

after my wheels come, i'm done.

so my mod list:
1. ??? Rims
2. Nitto NT 555 ???/?? ZR-1? tires
3. Volk Racing Lug Nuts
4. JDM Valve Cover
5. JDM Spark Plug Cover
6. Mugen Oil Cap
7. Mugen Radiator Cap
8. OEM Lip Kit
9. Eibach pro kit

want the euro r grill, too hard to get so, screw it.

kudos to inspires!!!

well, my rims (after three months of waiting) should be here by then, but i guarantee, they are rare...let's have a thread for nicest wheels. haha...or one for most wheels changed...=)

1. 18" Racing Hart C5 Gunmetal with polished lip
2.18" Volk Racing LE-28N Gunmetal with polished lip
3. ????? hahahaha

I dunno man, I think the Eibachs are killing your JDMness. You need some Buddy Clubs or maybe those Espelir JDM springs.

BTW, what do the Mugen caps look like exactly?

Who has chrome valve stem caps for their tires? This guy does, bitches. I'm thinking about getting ones with the Acura emblem, but I worry that little kids would walk off with my $40 valve stem covers.

I want to get the Advan model 7 next, those wheels are badass. Gotta start saving again...but much more neat things to buy. I kinda want to wait to see when spoon is gonna come out with their suspension mods, ie; strut bar and sway bars. Thinking endless rotors and pads w/ ???? calipers, change out headlamps to JDM and rebadge the whole car to Honda, to include a JDM swap if possible of the steering wheel. Kinda on the line for that because I know in a year I will be ready to sell the car.
So many mods, so little time!

i'll take pics today when i get home, the mugen radiator cap doesn't sit straight when it is fully on. annoying really.

my jdmness? hehe, the oem kit messes that up too. i only like the phase kit so far, the euro r front lip doens't do it for me.

i could use some teins, just kinda doubt that i would really tell the difference between a 1200+ USD coilover and my nice eibach pro kits

Well our OEM kit is the Modulo Kit for the Euro-R in Japan, so in some sense its JDM because its sold there.

There's two Modulo kits for JDM Accord. There's the modulo Urban, which is the same as our OEM body kit and the modulo Voltage which is the kit shown on the A-spec concept. I'm thinking of either waiting for A-spec to get the voltage kit or buying Euro-R kit.
