Did anyone remove their rear red reflector to get that "cleaner" look?

Wouldnt removing it make it look kinda dumb? You'll just have holes there

Well, you'll do a little body work of course. I was wondering because the BMW 5 Series I see, the rear reflectors come painted. So just a thought that I haven't seen on 2nd gen. TSX.

In sport mode should you let off the gas as soon as you change gears for a second?

Their paddle shifters, I love it when it shifts up in Sport and the car lunges forward like a racecar.

Nope.. Love them Recaros too much Eddie!... So I got antsy and adjusted the coils in the front tonight. Will prolly tackle the rear tomorrow if I have time. I have to say, the silver'ish metallic gray with the dark gun metal Advans is looking pretty hot especially at night. It has that sinister/all business look. Now, I am rethinking the whole R3 look and going with VIS full carbon front and rear lips, and side skirts...

Hey guys, I got a couple questions, does the front and rear splash guards fit on the aero kit? Has any of you seen an ez lip on the aero front bumper? Thinking of putting one on for when I slam the car so it could take all the damage from scraping.

The mud guards cannot be installed on top of the aero kit. If want to protect the paint, put some clear bra film around the splash areas and you will be fine. As for the EZ lip, aka Home Depot lip, it should be ok. Just don't bastardize the install

Looking at the Acura redesigns, MDX, ILX, RDX etc. It seems like they are going angular again and moving away from the hard lines of the 4g tl/2g tsx.....the NSX is all hard lines and angles...uhhh brand disconnect?

ok.. some updates.. ride height is adjusted and will probably be a bit lowered once the springs are settled in. For now it rides really well and holds corners perfectly.
