Yeah, I checked the photo you posted, and I can see the OEM pedal towards the bottom in your pic. That is what I did not like, so I decided to get the JDM set which is a complete replacement set. You actually take out the OEM gas pedal and install the JDM one. Heres a pic.

Don't take it personally at all, everyone has different taste and someone will always share their positive or negative opinion. After all, this is a forum and you would not have posted your pics if you didn't want to see what we think.

like the man said, to each his own, but I doubt you will find many sticker people here... cleanliness seems to be a theme of the users on this site.

I think the car looks great so far...it does have some minor mods that I wouldn't go for, but it still looks much better than alot of TSXs out there. Keep it up!

I do not understand why you take criticism personally when people are just sharing their personal opinion. Thank god our cars are not kept uniform, because I would hate to see nothing but stock TSX's everywhere! It does show how much you love your car with the mods you have done, but you can't have preconceived expectations that everyone will love what you have done.

You are obviously partial to the grill, so keep that. IMO, I think the grill would look fine if it filled the opening more than 3/4. It just doesn't look fluid. I think they sell a replacement for the chrome piece that runs across the end of the hood or I have seen people put some special type of tape on it. That may help as well.

well put my young friend. Totally true. You have to be willing to accept feedback when you post pics. I'm sure you could find just as many people that like your car as don't like it... just not on this forum.
EDIT: "Young friend" is used even though I know you are older than me

where did everyone grow up? I was taught that if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. I have seen many a TSX on this forum, in my opinion, that should be firebombed, but haven't said anything about it b/c its not my car. Like for example i noticed a post about a car on ebay that had a TSX front and rear end. Everyone dissed it, said it was horrible blah blah blah. Can't you even have an ounce of respect for the guy that bulit? Think about how many hours he put in to make all the pieces work. You all need to get a lot of respect for people who put that many hours into their car and make it look good, even if you don't like it. I read my boyfriend's BMW forum and there isn't one negative thing about someone's car EVER-all they do is support and ask questions, not diss people the way this forum does. I don't care if its making fun of a car, someone trying to make their TSX beat an M3 or my car and its grill.

This isn't a communist board, we allow freedom of speech.
It's your car, enjoy doing what you want to it. Don't expect everyone to like it though.

I think this forum is overly receptive to modded cars. In fact, we had someone that used to be on this board (Kawaii) that got pissed because people were giving props all the time.
Personally, I dont think its your car (not all of it anyway), but its your attitude and the way you've come off in your posts. If you cant take a little criticism, then you probably dont belong here...Everyone is entitled to an opinion, good or bad...

Maybe its the problem that i respect very few people here on the board and what they have done with their cars. I only would want people who i truely thought did a good job modifying their car and knew what they were talking about to comment-not some 16 year old kid who probably doesn't even have a TSX. I honestly can't stand all the lack of respect and negative attitudes here. Most of you have no idea how much work some of these people have put into their car, nor will you ever know and u think that u are still justified for making comments. I have never ever said anything negative about someones car here on the board, despite how hideous it may be. I can't stand seeing all the fake Euro-R's running around, but hey, i can appreciate you trying to make your car stand out and the amount of work that you have put in, not just doing mods, but taking care of it and keeping it clean.

and yeah it is funny when someone goes and asks a question like, "how do i make my TSX beat an M3"-they don't know what they are doing or talking about but that doesn't require any of you to rip the poor kid apart

all im asking is for people to actually have some respect and yes there are a couple of TSXs on this board that are beautiful and someone has put a lot of time and money into it. What i have a problem with is not just this post, but the many others where people are absolute asses. Feel sorry for someone that wants to make their TSX beat an M3 just because they dont know truely how impossible that is. Appreciate someone who puts in a ton of work, even if it isn't something YOU would like to do. have some respect

Yes, I am giving you a hard time! It's mainly because you are having such a hard time with criticism and becoming defensive for no reason. Who cares if someone 5000 miles away does not like your car! Remember, yes there are some who don’t like a few of the things you have done, but there are probably several who are completely down with your car. Again, I will point out that besides your stickers and grill, I think your car looks damn good!
Just relax a little bit.
