Not sure on what kit it is, I'm guessing the OEM Lip Kit.

Damn.

Yeah, the price has always been the breaking factor each time I think about getting a set. I had hoped you found another source.

I might just need to bite the bullet...

I've looked for a different source but I always came back to Bumperplugs.com. I have used their kit on 3 other cars.

Yes and no.

Yes there is a wagon rear underspoiler but it's for the non USDM wagons which have a shorter bumper overhang. Presumably because the USDM TSX wagon has a bit of a booty due to low-speed crash requirements.

So yes, there is one and you can find and buy it, but it won't fit your wagon without some work.

Shit. But I might be thinking of the Mugen Aero parts.

Not sure Acura/Honda offered an OEM Aero piece for the rear of the wagon like they do for the sedan.

I'm not that worried about it. I didn't plan on upgrading the exterior too much. I think the setup looks good, I just need some wheels and a small drop. I was thinking of swapping all the A's for H's but I think the money can be used for other things. Though I really like the way your car looks. I am also looking for a nice exhaust for at least some sound. I had heard of Greddy making something.

Funny, after the new year I'll pull the trigger on the front and side aero pieces to add to the rear splash guards I just picked up. Basically looking like yours does!

Greddy is *supposed* to be releasing an exhaust next year but I don't think anyone is holding their breath. I'll believe it when I see it. I'll also buy it when I see it, but I'm not counting on it...

So the only real exhaust options are the Mugen and Fugitsubo......

Tsudo made one. A few folks here are running it.

Not sure if they still makes them or not. They seem hit and miss with continuous availability.

Thanks for the pic, looks awesome! That's painted right?

I asked a store for a quote on vinyl service, and they refused to do it because they said it won't last apparently. True or na..?

I want to have it painted, but don't want rock chips lol

Pretty sure he said it's vinyl wrap. Look back a few pages, I think..

I think he said it's all one piece which I found hard to believe, but i guess if you find the right place they can do it.

Vinyl should be just a little more resistant to rock chips i would expect.

Lol I may be Asian, but i know how to drive

I guess the bead on the tire had enough and decided to say fuck you. It got torn up kinda bad when I mounted them on my Varrstoens, then they got a lil more torn when I took them off to put onto the NT03s...

Those wheels look terrible. Hit me up sometime and I'll help you take them off and I'll throw them away for you.

Fun fact, TPMS sensors are stronger than they seem. I had one flying around in my wheel for the longest and it still reads fine lol. I was wondering what that damn sound was when I was driving slow

How is the watch brand Tissot regarded? I'm not a fancy man and I don't need a $1000+ watch to get me off. I'm looking for one in the $100-$150 range (likely used).

IMO, Tissot is fairly well regarded.

They run the range from $$$s for a clean, standard looking classic watch to $$$$s for a chrono type. Should be easy to find, I think Macy's carry them and I happened to be at Jared's this afternoon and saw them there as well, although those are likely on the higher end and out of the sub-$500 range.

There's a watch/timepiece thread in Ramblings. I bet if you hit them with your basic wants/needs and a realistic price range, they might be able to recommend something.

Like this, listed at $275 at Jared:



Amazon has it for ~$185.

Just a clean, classic looking watch that won't break the bank.

Thanks, good to know. The one below is the one I've been eyeing for a few years. Pretty simple but I like simple.

Just did a quick lookup and it seems like that particular one is discontinued, replaced with a PR100 version that looks very similar albeit just a little different (T0494104405100).



I like the older one you posted; the thinner hands and smaller illuminated blocks look better to me.

Overall, that's a nice looking watch.
