Thanks for the heads up, I'll be looking for this shiny bag on my next trip to Wally World. Out of all the mods I have done for some reason people love the headlights. Wanna keep them lookin new! I just hope whatever it is, its on the outside of the headlight. Speaking of muggleziners lol they get really confused when they see my HUD haha. Every time someone rides with me they are like whaaaa?? Am I seeing 3-D?? kinda funny.

i thought the same. you get so much work though that you end up spending around 6 or 7 hours in the library almost every day and that leads to a lot of internet procrastination

Just got my red overlays in... They seem really dark, like blood red.Just wondering how dark yours were before you installed. Noticed you can kinda tell it's not the same color as OEM. Is that noticeable? Afraid to take off the tint and the red vinyl won't be the right shade of red.

These were at my local park near my parent's house








Had a storm cloud rolling in

Nice Pics! Never get tired of seeing your car. Still the hottest cbp in my book. Love the simplicity and classiness. Your car proves that you dont need to slam the tsx and get wheels with crazy offsets to make the car look proper.

Hows the lower grill holding up(smiley) since its painted. I was told it could easily get messed up even with right prep work. Because of the paint and plastic used.

sorry, i don't check on the forums that often. the red vinyl are the 3M pre-cut ones. I don't know how long exactly since I got sick of it and removed them but they went though many touchless car washes and being the florida sun and it was fine.

Have to look under again

Definitely try it out first and see if you like it. At worst, you wasted like 20 minutes of your time.

I wish I had proper equipment to record the sound.






What I took off
just reviving a post from the dead, can metal spacers be used here? or like a nut? suggestions?
