Sold the Ford got an Acura
After 8 years of my beloved Ford Expedition, I gave up on 13 mpg and scored an 07 TSX. I am loving the increased mpg and performance.
Would someone please tell me what body kit this is?
Thanks

Thanks. I was thinking it was an aspec but I wasn't sure.
It's a 2007 navi that had one owner. It's not perfect but it's pretty damn clean. High mileage but all service was done by the dealer where I bought it and I got the full service records.
After 15+ years of big Ford trucks it's been an adjustment but I've been very impressed with the car. I'm sure mods will be coming soon. Just need to figure out where to start.

I have the a-spec body kit on my 06 TSX. I also did the a-spec suspension and Progress RSB. The suspension/RSB has been rock solid the last 4 years since installation (75,000 miles now). The A-spec suspension will:
- Still ride like stock during normal driving
- give you a nice 1 inch drop all around
- will provide you with less dive, squat and lean when you push the TSX.
Anything more than an A-spec drop and you run the risk of scraping the front bumper with the body kit (if you have a spouse that parks like mine). After 5 years, I have a few scrapes that are not too noticeable unless you look for them.
Have you double-checked to make sure you don’t already have the A-spec suspension? I really can’t tell from the picture; but, your wheel/fender clearance looks about the same as mine with a-spec.
- Front is about 2 1/8 or 2 1/4 finger gap
- Rear is about 1 ¾ or 2 finger gap
It also depends on the size of your hand and the type of tires on your car (I have new Conti DWS with less than 5K on them). Using your finger is not real scientific; but, I would have the Acura tech check during your next service. If you have it already, you just saved about $800-900 for suspension+labor+alignment.
