Controversial mods anyone?
I know these are crappy pics, I will get better one's tomorrow. But I figured I would start the discusstion tonight 
So here are some pics of the ARC splitter and Eyelids. You can see some more of the splitter here: http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/show...7&page=1&pp=25.
And one of my custom painted JL Audio sub and amp and custom box I built myself

I'm not sure if I'm going to paint them or not. I kinda like them black, with the splitter and that grille I think they good black. They also match the JDM window trim perfectly
And, yeah... I can get the spare out, I just need to detach the power, ground, and remote wire. It's fairly easy.
You can't get everything I have

You didn't get the same splitter as Lito did you?? I can't see from the pics. I might wanna get a CF one too...I am just so scare about scartching my lip right now, with the splitter, who cares, it's CF w/ a clear coat, CF won't get damaged that easily~
I think it looks alright, eyelids give a differnet look! and...are those blue DRL lights?? you got a pic of them on?? thanks man!

I guess the splitters go with the theme of your car which I am assuming is CG/CF. The Sub assembly is huge 0_0. Eyelids... hmm could do without them, paint it and get angel eyes I am sure it would look hot.

Theme I would have to say is gray/black... which is why I want to keep the eyelids unpainted. Hmmm if I got the angel eyes I think they would look like angel U's with the eyelids 
Side note: I was just talking to my girlfriend about how this is the first thing I have done to my car that I didn't get ALL positive responses from... lol, although I knew that was going to happen

okay I wont be harsh like other people, but I dont think neither the eyelid nor the splitter look like they "belong" there
On the contrary, the honda grille (thank god you didnt put the euro-r badge on) and the lip looks good tho.. because they are both made by honda and they are "meant" for the car
just my opinion

I think unpainted they look kinda cool and tie in with the black/grey theme. Which is a colour scheme i hope to develop in the future.
I think the chrome at the front really looks out of place now and needs to be either body coloured or black to fit in.
I think i remember you saying your getting a new grill. I'm sure i know what this grill will be (99%) and think once it's on it'll really complete the look
