My lovely TSX w/ OEM side and back bodykit

This morning 5 in the morning, I couldn't sleep, b/c I wanted to install my body kit
So, I woke up early w/o taking shower and brushing teeth, just started installing the kit. after installation, I washed the car..

This is first time posting my car, I've just installed the back and side kit and let me tell ya, it was pain... But it's worth it

Many thanks for feelgood13, who provided my the instruction how to install the kit









Finally, the CIVIC LX

of course you should... why, are you considering not installing it? a half kitted car looks sorta odd... just like a car with a front lip and no side skirts or rear lip... just my opinion tho..

looks nice! i can't wait to get my oem lip kit also...

Yes, and yes on the Tein Basic's (only if you don't mind a stiffer ride then normal). Your car looks great. It's nice to see that your home is raided w/ honda/acura products...

the 06 front kit looks BEST on a black car. here is a pic of Bajafishing's nhb tsx from the "other" tsx forum

Nice job. The car looks great, but I vote no on the front lip. Don't like the '06 version, and I think the car looks fine without it, even with the side skirts and rear lip installed.

Just my

keep in mind that the picture i posted of Bajafishing's tsx, he used the factory trim (painted) around the fogs and not the unpainted trim that comes with the kit. he did it by accident and i think it looks great! i didnt have the heart cut mine like he did.

I was thinking about the euro R front, but i don't think It would fit.
Wouldn't I have to purchase a new front bumper if I were to do that?

i was going to do the same setup but i got some crazy quotes for the euro lip so i went ahead with the usdm lip. i'm VERY satisfied with how it turn on. looks great on dark colored tsx's.

Isn't it a bad idea to wash the car right after installing the kit? Something about adhesives settling.

Looks good, though.

I'd get the Euro-R Front lip.
That's what I did.
OEM Sides and rear plus the Euro-R Front.

I have one stupid question. If you have a front lip and rear lip...doesn't the car already have side skirts. Do you just replace them to have a different style or do the OEM side skirts not come as low as a full around lip kit?

Aside from the stupid question. Everything looks pretty good. How much did everything run you?

A-spec sides are little beef'er compare to 06+ oem sides. Now for 04-05 oem sides and a-spec sides are hella different.
