grats, dont like the body side molding though, and you need a metalizer dip on the stockies, i had the black on mine as well, but it just seems to make them disappear at night, and especially with a light car like yours, too top heavy

Yeah had to wait quite a while for the 6spd. But I work at the dealership in Charlotte, so I figured it was well worth the wait. I like the BSM on TSXs. I think it is hideous on the ILX and RDX. But everyone has their opinion. Appreciate the suggestions though. I'm thinking Red Calipers to match the Black/Red SE interior.

Looks great I think, love the grill! I'm still staring at my side skirts as well, to figure out if I like them or not.

I think the stock rims need to be peeled off.

Can you get me the bolt on metal pedals dirt cheap since you work at a dealership? Another member here said he could get the AT 3 pedals for $100 but he has disappeared.

Not much markup in the parts, not to mention you could haggle with parts counter at the dealership. Labor is where the markup is. My discount probably wouldn't be worth the shipping cost.

I bought my bumper from them, so if I get desperate enough I'll be buying the pedals from them too.
