First Photoshoot - '06 CGP
This was my first attempt at a photoshoot. Couldn't find a nicer place to take the pics as I was in a bit of a hurry. Brand new mods include: front lower-bumper chrome trim, painted calipers w/ decals, Mugen NR Mirror Face 18s w/ Bridgestone Potenza RE050, Oracle Halos. I claim no talent whatsoever with a camera - just used a Sony digital point-and-shoot.
More pics at my CarDomain page.
I'm going to try to get some nice evening shots with the Halos some time in the future.

Every time someone posts a thread with the Oracle halos it becomes that much harder for me to not order myself a set.
Those things look so sick.
But yeah, if I put those in my headlights I would definitely clear the turn signal lens while I had them open.

angel eyes look sick. it's still a mod that I want to do. did you consider the kit with just 2 halos instead of the three? how did you make up your mind? I am still not sure which I like better.

A few more pics. Some early evening. Some late evening. I was too lazy to actually take the car anywhere for the early-evening shots. Once again, I claim no skill with a camera - particularly in reduced lighting scenarios.

Your rear lip belongs to the 2004-2005 aspec kit. The 2006 aspec rear lip is different than yours. Among other things, it is black plastic in the middle between the exhaust pipes and is shaped differently in general.
I'm curious to see how well the 2004-2005 aspec rear lip fits on the 2006 bumper..if there are any gaps up close, etc.
Anyway, looks nice!

wweeeiiird. the guys on here are right, that is not an 06+ rear lip. your front lip and side skirts are correct, but i do not understand why your rear lip is different. you should defininately ask the dealership about this cause this is what it's suppose to look like

Wow, this is definitely weird. Is it possible that the '06 rear lip is different in Canada? It's a perfect fit - no gaps whatsoever. In fact, it fits much better than the front lip. When I was shopping for my car, I saw other TSXs on the lot with the lip kit and I don't remember seeing the black plastic on the rear lip.
Anybody else have an 06+ TSX with the rear lip in Canada?

Thanks for the comments everyone!
I knew there were going to be people that would suggest a drop, but I'm not sure I want to... we get some major snow storms here in the winter and the TSX handles bad enough already without reducing the clearance. I also don't want to sacrifice any ride comfort. On top of all that, doing the headlights and having to remove/replace the front bumper and lip was such a big job that it has kind of turned me off of modding. I'd like to just enjoy my car now instead of trying to make more changes to it. I've got two more KPtech modules to install and then I'm done.
