Car looks great man. Yeah, winter sucks...I'm going to put the factory rims on the week after Thanksgiving.If all works out well, in about 20 years I'll miss the worst part of winter. 4 months in the Caribbean.....hay, may be a pipe dream, but worth a shot. Wonder if Acura makes speed boat engins?

hot hot hot! great pix, man. The ride looks awesome... rims, bumper, everything. I'm not looking forward to putting the rims away. I'll probably wait til late November. December would definitely be pushing it here in Chicago

very nice looking-winter will be around soon-that is why we moved south to nc-not a big fan of snow and icy roads anymore.

Thanks again everyone for the compliments Throw me a positive rep if you like what you see.


Anyways, I'm not changing out the rims just yet - probably will wait until towards the end of the month. I just figured these will be the last pics I take of the car this season in all its glory. I know i'd forget or run out of time if I waited until later to take pics.


For those asking about my roof spoiler, I did find this site that makes the same spoiler - just do the search for TSX parts. Keep in mind that I did have some minor fitment issues and the price does not include paint and install.

Thanks again everyone for the feedback - I'm in some great company cause you guys have some great looking cars as well


CGTSX07 - debating the JDM headlights since the amber in the OEM headlights kind of compliment the gold in the wheels. I don't know though - just another mod I don't have the funds for right now

Absolutely Stunning. In my opinion, the BEST looking TSX on this forum. Just curious, how much have you spent, roughly, on ALL the mods you have on your whip?

Fred, where was the first picture taken at? It looks like a nice place. I don't think you should go for the JDM headlights either since it stands out and makes the car shine. I think you have the nicest car in my book =D


on other note....700 posts woot.

I don't know about the BEST, but thanks again for the compliment. I honestly cringe a little bit when I think about how much I've spent. I think I'm upwards around $15K for performance and cosmetic mods over almost 2 years


visuelz - the outdoor pics were taken at Jones Beach

nice looking pics of your ride.

mind me asking what size fitment those are for your vs-xx? 18s? 19s?
i see high-pad disk setting, im guessing +48 offset?

either way, SWEET RIDE, makes me reminisce about my gold vs-xx i had about 9 months ago.

Thanks for the feedback.

The XX's are 19x8 with a +51 offset - you were pretty close with your estimate.

what sorts of minor fitment issues did you have, and what was the install process? a DIY with some 3m double sided tape, or was it much more involved, like taking out the back window?

Spoiler doesn't fit 100% flush to the back glass - fitment is about 98%. The spoiler is installed with just some 3M tape. Some have suggested re-installing with silicone to improve the fitment.
