Hey don't take it personally but no ones really a fan of the raven kit, everyone finds it a bit too much and kind ricey.

Just way too many flares for people's eyes.

I give y thumbs up on the custom paint ! Looks like you need a drop too!

Personally I think Its different other than 98% of the same TSX I see every day on this forum. Its honesly something that should be seen in person for the real appreciation... Mugen lips are like b20 motors ..to many of them. I think that if a car looks like all others...whats the point..? Its boosted pulleys and everything.. Im running about 260 horse right now...

The kit looks like something you'd find on a car during a car show. It's something that catches your attention and makes you think, "what the..."

But I agree, every modded tsx looks like other tsx's, so this kit makes OP's car stand out. Some day my car will be modded to look less stock...and more like inkedup's car. lol

I actually like the Luckystar kit; just not the white/pink demo car they use to promote it. There's an article in an online car-zine with a silver TSX dropped with the Luckystar kit on and it looks great...

Pimpin' your car is straight. Do your thug thizzle. I think if you add a drop and some wider wheels it would look alot better.

yea that guy who did the custom sub everyone made comments about his jdm headlights or headlights in general had condesation building up.

I just really think its a bit over the edge. Just don't want him to get hurt and run away like others did heh.

It's dropped on Tiens. just the profile on the tires is not the best they are 35 series and Now I have pirelli on them with 225/45/18 Tucked all around now.. damn 35 series is too low....it would only look good on any tsx with 20's perhaps..... Im looking to get rid of these chromes and going gun metal with custom gold lip to match the paint... I got pulled over the other day the officer told me my car was too low...lol then a 08 m3 drove by and I pointed..lmao

The problem with that kit is it's so aggressive (low front clearance) that if he dropped his car enough to close the wheel gap, he'd literally be rubbing his front bumper on the ground everywhere he goes.

yo

honestly it looks like when i first got out of high school and got my first civic and did all the flares and bad drops that come along with thinking it looks good. tsx should be a step up and should look alot harder then that =)

the stage 3 is very unique in such a way you have to be there to see it or a video will be better... as the Sun is high in the sky the car is reptile green with gold/red/green flakes/pearl and while the sun sets it turns redish gold and in the night its just a standard nighthawk black. not even the flakes show. Im doing some more engine work and when its done ill show it up..its a auto tranny..and yes audio you noticed the reason why I dont lower my car like way low cause it will scrape but still I was able to lower the car with tires tucked now since Its bigger profile which makes a big difference..ill post more pics later....

Roughly 3200. with body work rust proofing and all. The car was totally taken apart all bumpers and all were painted seperatly and the windows were not just taped. the molding was actually removed and windows dropped. so its clean

Damn alot of money spent on it. Just not my taste IMO. Maybe some bigger wheels nd a better drop would help.
