But that "TSX" on your console are so out of place! And I think the stock shift knob looks better. John, your ride is the most recognizable TSX in Toronto! Everytime when my friends talking to me regarding the TSX, they will mention about the black TSX with the big wing!

if you're going for looks A+
however, if you were ever considering trackin' that car, i'd take the spoilers off. As someone mentioned above, the wing is good for downforce. Considering you have a front drive car, if you push down on the back, it kinda lifts off the front. Pointess for a front wheel drive.
Car looks great though. love the Enkei rims.

as for brembo, i use a 5mm spacer and extended wheel studs from H&R to get 2mm clearance from caliper to spoke. those calipers are FAT!!!!!!

I forgot to take a look at the undercarriage, but if they built a flat bottom, they might actually need that extra downforce to stabilize the car at higher speeds in sweeping turns.
In Mosport we could see how it was pretty easy to oversteer in turn 1 and 2, no matter if it was FWD or RWD.
