different, that's for sure.
haven't seen a tsx go quite in this direction yet.

none of your mods are my taste at all, but it's nice
to see the car in a different light.

future plans?

Just upgraded brakes, and a different trunk setup so I can have access to the spare tire. After the Xtended warranty goes away I'll think about Hondata (I like the K24 as an all motor not F.I.), and possibly Tein EDFC or Eibach (unsure).

just so you are aware, tein EDFC is just a small computer module and
some motors. the Electronic Dampening Force Controller. It's a little
module that allows you to control the softness/firmness of your Tein
coilovers.

you need to buy Tein coilovers before you can install an EDFC unit.
not sure if you knew that or not by your comment.

I think Eibach only makes springs too, not too sure though.

Thanx, I just havn't figured out how much I want to spend on a setup, or which would provide the best equilibrium between ride quality (with the 19"s) and ajustability.

well for ride quality there is only one best option.

Tein Comfort Sport Coilovers.

nothing else even comes close to their spring rate really.
they're as comfortable for more so than stock suspension for sure.
especially with the EDFC added on.

i think green is a little to loud for the tan leather. maybe a more subtle color would look better

not a big fan of the interior...

I like your exterior, I think an Aspec kit will complete the look, especially with that spoiler...

Is the interior green?! I like the way you did the seats yet I may not have chosen such a contrast in color.

It's good that you redid the top part, sunroof area, in a few months of riding with the windows down, dirt would most definetly show up!

Been looking 4 pics of that spoiler in a dark color...

Head lights look real sexy!

Materials good, color and execution aren't my style. The wing is a bit overbearing without a body kit. Still, you've done more than I have to my own car, so props.

No offense meant of course, just my $0.02. Thanks for you service to our country.

I give you props for having your own style, and everyone has their own preference. If you like what you have, then keep it that way.

Would definitely look better with a more aggressive drop, and the OEM kit to go on with it.

As for the interior. Not sure what I can say about it.

Your car, your stuff, you're happy that's all that matters.

Basic in Benning, then Germany for 6 years. Iraq, 15 months. Kuwait, 5 months. Turkey, 60 days. San Antonio for a 6 month hospital stay and recovery then retirement. Thanx for your continued service.

If I do decide to go lower, (war injuries suck) it would be a modest (1-1.5") drop. The factory kit would get scuffed up a bit I'm sure with thee big @$$ park stoppers here. Going for the Luxury Sport with emphasis on luxury.

with a lowered car, you NEVER park your bumper over a parking stop.
you park in front of it.

most people will pull up till their tires hit it...
that's a no no.

parking stops are the least of the worries really with a lowered car.
inclines are probably the worst thing to look out for.

Dang... purple heart.

As for the suede... would been nice if it were black, not green.

Dont like the roof suede, but what does my opinion matter?

3M double sided adhesive can be cut to the shape of the emblem before the protective cover is peeled off.

The green interior is something I had never seen, so top marks for creativity. However, was wondering why u did not go for candy purple.....

By the way, having a Mugen duck tail ain't complete without the body kit all round. With just the tail and stock suspension, it makes it looks "too high".

Just my 2 cents, don't worry as u get top marks green creativity..
