I was very fortunate to get a '10 CBP TSX for my graduate school present.

I have done some slight modifications to it in the 4 months that I've had it.

-I've changed all interrior lights to spark blue LEDs.
-I've painted my calipers red.
-I've installed a type-s decal on the inside of the vehicle (don't worry it looks clean! pics to follow soon)
-I had 35% tint (lowest I could go)
- Blue fog covers are being installed tomorrow.

Now I'm about to make some bigger changes and I wanted everyones honest oppinon because so far acurazine has not done me wrong. You've saved me from some very disgusting choices.

first of all, I was looking to get Axis Elites: 19x8 (5x114.3)

Second of all I was wondering if I should paint match the front grille.

Let me know!

If anyone knows any good wheel tire package dealers in the GTA make sure you shoot me a message!

 

A brand new TSX 2010 for your graduation present?
What was you graduating? Doctor or doctoral?
I would go for the wheel but I wouldn't do the other.

 

Doctor of Pharmacy actually

I'm leaning towards doing it because I hate the chrome beak, but I also think it accents the car nicely if I like it or not.

 

i like the rims prob look great on CBP

 

would not be my top choice of rims, but it would look good.

and i say..paint match it! looks best when its black. or wait for jdm replica grille from heeltoe

 

Anyone have any idea what they would look like?

I like the rims, you should get those.

On another note how did you obtain a professional doctorate in pharmacy at the age of 20? Normally that degree requires a bachelors first and then completion of a 4-5 year doctorate program with residency. So even if you were on an accelerated program you are looking at 8 years. So you started undergraduate at the age of 12?

 

Yeah OP, what are you.......Doogie Howser, PhD??

 

I don't think he's graduating from the doctor degree yet.. i think he got it as a present for getting into graduate school..? yes/no? haha

good choices on the rims!.. look around in the other threads regarding painting the grille to black. good luck!

 

these look similar to Ron Jon's offering. Have you looked at these?

 

Getting a new TSX as a graduation gift is not that big of a deal. There are kids with new G37s, M3s, etc. as high school graduation gifts.

I'm not helping out by much, but I would highly suggest going with wheels from the likes of Volk, BBS, Work, Advan, etc. Of course if you do get aftermarket wheels, you also should lower the car also since the gap will be more noticeable due to the attention drawn to the car from the wheels.

 

I'd go with the RonJon's posted above over the Axis wheels. But either would look great.

And definitely paintmatch the grill. Though my opinion is kind of biased.

 

The thing about the Ronjon Rev wheels that are posted though, is that they only come in 18".

 

I'm still in school. When I said graduate school present I ment going into, not finishing. My program is a 6 year program!

 

Ahhh. Good luck! I have a friend at the UW pharmacy program, its a hard ass program. I finished up a doctorate in chiropractic last year. I went to undergraduate and grad school and it was 8 years total. Now I have great career and a bunch of student loans. During grad school all I did was study everyday except most weekends. Now in the work force all that work paid off. Study hard and get ready to put your life on hold while in school.

I still like the first choice better then the RJs.

 

Thank you for the advice!
I love the Axis elites, the only problem is they'll run me close to 2500.

While in school, its hard getting that kind of money.
