I think floridaowner is the only one that can get you a pic of a TSX w/ a pinstripe. I've NEVER seen one with it.

when done right it improves the handling.



anyway heres a blue one shined up beautifully with a pin strip....which is ugly. Really makes me like the blue color though. It's also lowered and looks great. You can barely even notice the pin stripe to make it look any different. I'd still take it off if it was my car though. taken from here

I agree that doesn't look all that impressive. The stripe looks similar in color(beige or something like that) but i have a nighthawk black and on that color it looks real nice- the end has a small a on it for acura(can't see the letter unless up real close) The stripe may look bad on many colors but on the black it actually looks quite good. thanks for the pic - i don't have any pics yet developed.

Like they said, by the way thanks guys, if you lower your car properly it makes the car handle better, it lowers your center of gravity and reduces body roll, why do you think real race cars are low? Just to look cool because if thats the case maybe they should throw a pinstripe on and get double the pleasure

i've seen a pin stripe on PWP, and it did look pretty nice. quit giving this guy a hard time for simply stating his opinion

Actually...the striping on a PWP TSX isn't bad at all...it kinda blends in with the paint..

roll tigers- thank you. However I am afraid Chris Leak will get the best of you guys again this year. The striping on certain colors looks very good- white and black in particular.

last time i checked tsx has 200 hp- this is hardly a race car and lowering it isn't going to make it a race car. It makes a nice luxury entry sedan look like a car driven by a teenager booming his bass. Leave the tsx alone and you have a great car.

Yes you do have a great car, but by modding it you can make it a better car. And it is still assinine to say that a car is lowered = teenagers pumpin base. Because it provides asethetic value plus perfromance value. Lowering it will not make it a race car, you are correct, but it will increase the handling.

Its great that you have your opinion and i respect that, but to come on the a tsx enthusiast board, where there are a number of people who have done this or are planning on doing this, and call people unclassy and teenagerish is not right. To say you dont like the look is fine but to generalize the other people here because of that is just wrong.

she likes pinstripes too

only reason we're giving him a hard time is he's calling us a bunch of teenagers!!!

dabuda, who still doesnt understand the reasoning for how lowered cars are for teens
