My White TSX with Mugen Wheels

finally got my mugen wheels last month.
Loving it. Looks way better in person and especially at night. I think my own photos dont do justice.

its on a yokohama avid W4S 18s high performence all season. 225/40/18 and wheel is 18x7.5 +55 offset perfect fit no hub ring 5x114.3 thats why I bought it

Those are some sharp wheels.

Doh, I'm retarded, I didn't think to check.

But still, OP - how do you like the VIS hood? I'm looking into a CF hood (sick of all the damn chips in my cheaply painted replacement OEM hood after last year's damage) and VIS is a top contender. Is it lighter than your OEM, does it fit well, how's it holding up over time, etc.

Thanks!

Sorry, something doesn't flow together but can't figure out what it is. Either hood, the grille, or the lip I think. Wheels look OK.

Great choice I saw those pics couple weeks ago on the other forum
You’re so right those pictures do them no justice at all.
Btw I have the same wheels but I haven’t put them on since I messed up and ordered the wrong lug nuts color

I've had the Vis hood since summer of 04 and all I can tell you is the fitment was near perfect, its definately lighter than the OEM and maybe its just me but I thought it did feel lighter on acceleration.

the only thing I do not like about the CF hood is that it's quite easy to get hail damage. You cant see it in the picture but its there, I think they started showing up after 2 years.

I thought about hood pins, then after finding out how much it cost, maybe its time to put my OEM back on for a change.

I think your car would look nicer with the OEM hood because there are no other CF/blacked out components of your car (other than the visors).
Can't go wrong with the Mugen wheels though

They're ingrained into the spokes

OP, car might look better with a black overlay top, and a black trunk?
Wheels look great tho!

They are stickers. They come on the wheel. Here's a picture:
