My new 2008 TSX CGP

Here is my CGP 2008 with some new exhaust tips and rear deck lip. HID fog install also at the exhaust shop. Only other mod I really have planned are probably the Tien HTECHS to tighten up that wheel gap just a bit. This will remain my DD so don't want to get too crazy. Considering some TL S-TYPE wheels but haven't found them for a decent price. Feedback welcome. I'm coming from a BMW 5 series and Audi S4 and I really love this TSX! Thanks all!!

Thanks guys! As I said, I may end up going with a set of Tein HTECH springs to lower it just a bit to take care of the wheel gap. Already tinted the windows, 35% ceramic that really keeps the heat out well. 70% on the windshield and a few of the other modest updates I've done.

Mink, I'm new to the Honda scene but with BMW, Audi, Benz I know the NGK 4 prongs are typically highly recommended and I've run them before with great success. I actually picked up the BOSCH 4 prongs at the local AutoZone on a whim as they didn't have the NGK's in stock and they were pretty cheap too. I'll do a few searches to see what's being said about them but so far so good. Really diggin' this car.

I'm on the tein h-techs as well. Its just perfect for everyday drive without the worry of bottoming out and scraping front bumper.

Most go with NGK iridium plugs.

Thanks bro. Too late though, I orderd my HTECHS last week. Should be here anyday now. Once I get those installed it'll be wheel time!

Actually I was curious about that myself. With only a mild drop and my plan to go with 18x8" wheels my guess is a camber kit would not be needed. As a DD I don't plan to run any crazy negative camber front or rear like all the cool kids are doing

For my own curiosities though, is there some type of threshold that determines whether a camber kit is needed or warranted? I really have no clue.

Congrats on the car. The NGK plugs are the best for K24 motor and most other Hondas. I have even read of people having some bad issues with those 4 prongs in this motor. I can try and find some of the threads if you don't find them in your searches.
