Thanks,
This is Isi's car. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but here we have pre-MMC Type S front lip, SE/Type S side skirts, Aero/Sport/Modulo rear:


If you're OCD about the lines, then the full modulo kit is without a question the right approach. That, or the full SE kit. Here, the side lines on the Modulo rear don't line up 100% with the SE side skirts, but it's not a big deal.

The beauty of the sports bumper is it comes painted unlike the SE bumper I have spend more money on the bumper and paint.

Today's adventure:


Backed into office parking spot this morning. Shift lever down and right all the way to "R" but camera didn't turn on. Had to open the door and peek a few times to make sure I didn't slam the poles. Man, getting too lazy/reliant on technology.


Turned ignition off, restarted car, put back into R to test and camera came on like usual. Has happened a few times in the past year now. Must have a loose connection somewhere.

That sometimes happens to my backup camera, but mine is all aftermarket. I'm so lost when I can't look at it when reversing. How did I survive the first 3 years of not having one?!

Speaking of traveling between Houston and Dallas, I'll be down there in 2ish weeks (the 26th. Maybe we can meet at some point for a few minutes? Not sure where you are but I'm on the west side off I-10.

Drop me a line some time. Normally I'd say that's totally do-able but that weekend I've got a bro-dog coming into town and we're heading to Austin at some point in the weekend so it might take a bit of careful coordination.

Just looked at my maintenance book .. Last oil change was close to 7 months ago. Less than 3500 miles on the change and oil life is reading 60%. The family suv has quickly lapped my tsx in odometer reading.

endless rpm is bruce I forget his ID who has sold parts on here since I joined.

also, search TL for his endless exhaust. I suspect that the mufflers will be similar.

Have you done the intake resonator delete? It's free and easy you could try that. I don't have a huge desire for an exhaust system after doing it on mine.

I asked the same thing before I did mine, and I was told if the cold air intake doesn't void the powertrain warranty then the intake resonator delete won't either.

The whole crate was wrapped in moose hide, I'd bet.

Ah, Canada. Casual generalization at it's finest!

Don't beat yourself up about it.

Going directly to "maple syrup" is ALWAYS a safe response.

Also acceptable are:
1. Poutine
2. Tim Horton's
3. Drake

Besides, if you were to cut open the moose hide, pull out the industrial parts you ordered, and found something hidden away at the bottom of the crate... Any sane person would prefer to find maple syrup over the other things.

Just picked up coils....been 4x4 too long now! (4 months since ownership lul)

Anyways, I asked a question about converting to Modulo front a few pages back, and wanted some more clarification since I can't find the info

- Anyone know if the fog light itself (not fog light cover) is interchangeable between 09-10 and 11+?

- Anyone know where I can find the fog cover for the Modulo bumper?

- Headlights are the same for all 2G TSXs correct?

Thanks guys!

All variations of the OEM headlights will "fit" all years of the TSX. For example, in some countries outside of USA (Canada for example), the base model did not offer the HID headlights, but rather a dull Honda-esque halogen-based headlight. However, this doesn't mean that the non-HID lights won't fit your car. Also, in some other markets they offer the bi-xenon headlights (not available in USA).

tl;dr
Technically not all the lights are the same, but they will all physically fit.

---

The 09-10 fog lights are not interchangeable with the 11+ ones (and vice versa). Here's a typical eBay listing for the 09-10 lamps:
2009 2010 Acura TSX Fog Light Lamp Assembly Pair Left Side Right Side | eBay

---

Not sure what you mean by the "fog covers for the modulo bumper". I think the foglight "covers" are built into the modulo front bumper, but this I'm not entirely sure about.

So based on the headlight explanation, they can be left alone

---

Yeah that's what I thought in regards to the fog covers, but I remember reading something about how they are separate parts. Guess I read wrong lol

Appreciate the help!!
