First Pics of My TSX!

Well I Finally purchased a digicam(Sony DSC-W5), So now I can share my pics with everyone.... Well here they go





I just installed the SportLine springs yesterday and love it! Totally eliminated all wheel gap!

I should be getting my H center caps today and after that all I'll need is the Accord friont grill like this one

If anyone knows where I could pick one up holler at me!!! I've been trying to contact A-J but I am gettiing nothing.

Anyway... let me know what you guys think... I know it's plain compared to some of the rides on here but hey...

Rancho?? Holy shit...I haven't seen Rancho in only a couple years and it's changed an awful lot. I went to school in Claremont and passed through Rancho plenty of times and it never looked like that.

I wasn't going to put the badge on until I got the rest but some punks stole my rear "A" when I was at the mall and left a nasty ass key mark and all the glue... So I threw it on... Fuck it... I'll rock that shit all day long... But I have the cash for the front grill as soon as I find it... Just a matter of time...
Also I mentioned that I haven't been able to get a hold of AJR So thank you... I'm going to give them a call again on monday morning.

But thanks for all the enthusiasm

And as far as Rancho, it's a great place to live! Everything is right here! I live right by the new Victoria Gardens mall So traffic is the only thing I can complain about... But it has come a long way... Very upscale compared to the surrounding areas

AJR had some problems with their e-mails back in Jan, so maybe that's why. Give them a call, they have that grille in stock, well, at least that was a month ago when i asked~

Sweet! Now you need some wheels and a bodykit. Then you'll be all set. There's a group buy in the group buy section if you are interested.

Thanks for the info guys... I'll be on the horn with AJR on Monday.

As Far as a body kit and wheels I think I'm only going to get the factory front lip or possibly the Mugen lip... And the the only wheels I have ever liked are the RJ wheels that CCColts has on his ride(which is just Sex on wheels BTW)

But thanks for the comps I love the drop too!!!

not another one of these questions. this is what causes so much problems on the forum.

Its called a JDM conversion. your car is made by honda and in japan it is not a acura but rather a honda. I am going to stop here. You can search and find 400 thread about this same topic.

because it's really an Accord in Japan and Europe.

i hope Honda learns from their lesson with the ugly current gen USA Accord and make it look nice like for the 8th generation just a little like the Sport 4 concept 2nd gen TSX coming up.

Well... I got a hold of AJR this morning and placed my order for the front grill... Should be here in a few days!!!! I'm thinking of getting the center crossbar chromed before I install it so that it is almost identical to my stock Acura grill... But we'll see

BTW AJR was great to deal with... Awesome customer service, Very professional

Well... I recieved my Accord CL9 Grill and OEM Honda center caps last week and installed them this morning. There is a gap at the top of the grill but it's not too bad.
So here are a few updated pics... I'll take some more pics once I recieve the Mugen Window visors I just ordered







Hope fully this will parole me since I was convicted By the "JDM Council" of a Felony for rocking the H in the back and the Acura grill up front

Talking

Yeah I just ordered the visors yesterday from KingMotorsports... They are out of stock right now but said they will be getting a few sets with their shipment that's coming in at the end of this month... I wasn't sure about getting them at first either. But them I saw a pic of them in the DIY forum (I believe) and was sold!

hey can somebody explain to me why enthusiasts love taking of the acura symbols and replacing them with honda symbols? I have a tsx and I like the fact that I have an "acura" rather than just a plain honda. I dont pretend to be a member of the racing culture, so could somebody break this down for me idiot-style?

1. Roll up your window
2. Look at the bottom near the B-Pillar
3. Come down off your pedestal princess
