Hi all,

Thanks for the great compliments

Yes all my parts were purchased and installed at A & J Racing here in Vancouver. You can call and say you are saw Inspires' car on the boards, they have access to all the parts.

I probably will get flamed for this but...the Phase Racing spoiler was about $300 CDN unpainted. I wanted to do an entire Phase look thus ordered the spoiler. It definately is cheaper if u buy one of those generic ones from eBay and custom it yourself.

isn't that spoiler same as the M3 spoiler? What do you think Accsueprstar? I just bought M3 spoiler for my TSX and needs to be painted. And...I think....those spoilers looked same...do I need a new set of glasses?

Yes indeed, I kinda jumped the gun and bought the Phase one, however, I might as well do it all Phase since I'm going for that look.

Post pics when you're done

hey inspires....NICE CARS! your car looks almost identical to the JDM phase euro-r. pretty sweet.

*high five* for representing the PWP. haha... come check out my ride sometime under - 1st with volks..

how good does the phase CF hood fit? is it clearcoated? my local shop suggested that i get a VIS grade a hood...i'm kinda skeptical, i haven't seen a CF hood that fits perfectly.

did you use the DC5 ITR valve cover? i would love to see pics..alright man, keep up the good work. too bad you live so far away, it would be cool to take pics of our cars together.,..

Thanks for the compliments.

The Phase CF hood is awesome, the weave quality is extraordinary, and the fitting is perfect, you can't mess with JDM. However, the price compared to any other of course is significantly more. To my knowledge there are only two companies so far that make CF hoods for the TSX, they are Phase and Feel's Hondatwincam, both are priced relatively the same price.

Will have pics of the engine bay tonight for you guys!

thanks,

How would you go about getting stuff from feels? And is what is the conversion rate? What would 30000 yen or 68000 yen be? that grille is awesome, so are the side skirts.

It's not done yet, I took it to the local paint shop to paint, and it will be ready by this Friday. This is one without any paint on.

I have no clue how they do the conversion, besides they are full retail prices on those pages, and do not include shipping or duty. Best to do is call and ask 604-279-0329 or email info@aj-racing.com

The only parts that are Phase are the following:

Front Bumper
Rear Spoiler
CF Hood

The rest of the stuff is either Spoon, JDM OE Honda Parts.

If you need prices you can call Ben @ AJRacing 604-279-0329 or email him at ben@aj-racing.com
