doesn't the kenstyle kit come with fogs? the big red calipers look great, easy to see through the wheels too.

I thought so, too. The full kit come with Fogs.

Nice Car with lot of good mods.
The most curious to Me is He got 2" drop & still got Wheel Gap on 20"...
I got 2" drop on 18" & the wheel gap is gone?... Maybe I measured wrong.

Wow, It is very nice! I like the wheel and brake. The body kit looked great! 20" looks nice but a little big. I wish u got 19 inch instead of 20. But it still look great!

i dont understand why i have a gap in the front the rear sits how i want it too so i guess time to invest in some nice coilovers soon ,im still waiting on forced induction so i can have that soon also.I will get better drop soon i promise ,The springs were a simple fix to the bubba truck look on 20's

chrome, 20's, 2 inch drop on a tsx usually equals but in this case very tasteful

Did you noticed a big improvement in your braking?

Do you have shorter stopping distances now?

WOw...... you made another CG owner proud...

I was also wondering about the drop, because how can you have gap after 2" drop w/ 20s....... bbut regretless...... your car is ON FIRE!! I wish I had a quarter of your mods....

My local acura dealership used my car as a display car for the weekend to get people in there to look at new cars .ill keep pics coming as the mods go on , david

Hey David, I wonder where did you purchase Iforged wheels at? I am considering getting at 19 inch. Your wheels on CG TSX looked hot! But I looked at website that Iforged wheels will make a new lightweight series wheels soon. I can't be able to afford that wheels that you have it on your TSX, they used to cost around $600 dollar each. I am looking for $300.00.

my wheels were around a grand each since there 20's and the 3 piece high pollished tires were only 180 each so not to bad ,but my friend owns a company called wheelsdirect that sells iforged wheels might want to ask him on some prices,also there new line of racing wheels look damn good and are very light weight ,Good luck on the wheels , david

Hey David, how much did you pay everything include paint, etc on Kenstyle kit? I am considering getting Euro-R kit for my TSX in a couple of weeks. But I like Kenstyle, they looked great! But price is $$$$$$$$$$$.

I paid 2100 for the kit shipped and the paint for the kit was 700 thats with the bumpers blacked out and high grade clear coat , I went with a clean look not to eye catchy but gets the modified point across for people who know cars .I get the usual ricer asking did it come with those brakes .I also had to listen to my parents bitch about me taking apart a perfectly good brand new car with 5 miles on it and modifing it like i have but my dad likes it ,He has always promoted me fixing up my cars . david

dzuy maybe set up a meet in march maybe ill have my turbo or sc on by then depending on who makes what first and hp #'s

I was going to go with a mesh style wheel but since i wanted big brakes i wanted a open clean simple wheel so they could see the brakes good behind the rims
