One thing i didn't note was when I got my rims on, I also got my Painted Mud Flaps, which will go bye-bye once the sports kit is installed (don't think they are compatible).

Ride quality is great dude. No negatives vs. Stock, only positive changes with increases response and tighter handling.

damn it's looking good so far--those 18's look almost like 19's.

Interested in seeing how the custom exhaust turns out

I love your rims.
It looks like your car had molding when you bought it but the mod pics don't. did you take it off and why?
Mine came with molding and some users on here have criticized it but I don't see what the problem is.
and i like the drop. your whip looks sweet. I enjoy seeing other 'hooked up' TSXs on the road. warms my heart. ;-)

I appreciate the compliments dude!

I actually pulled the non-modded photo from the net because I didn't take any pics before I started modding. I personally like the molding and am considering getting it put on my car. I like you color man, my 2nd favorite for sure.

Tomorrow I will post some photos of the sports bumper kit and side skirts I installed, looks mean.
