My complete car mode

Hello everyone!
I just completed my car project today and now I would like to share this to everybody.
My next final project is "Start Stop Button". I have searched any it seems auto-innovatio.com is the best out here for the Start Stop Button.
Please let me know how you guys think.
Thank you

What he said. The white and wood look really out of place.

yea i'm not a fan of mixing and matching. looks odd to me. and -1 on wood grain...wood grain trim makes me think of old man refined luxury...it detracts from whatever "sporty" our tsx has and makes it less so...

i don't think black rims go well with pmm...the side shot makes the wheel area look like black space. that's just my opinion though.

nice wrapping job though.

I agree. looks very odd. White carbon fiber? wood grain in the back? Things just don't match up. To be honest, the only thing I really like is....totoro. (:

What they all said.

Gray headliner, black dash, white trim, black carbon fiber trim, wood trim.

This is an example of why I never liked black wheels - they all look alike.

Justin, you can stay. Pyro, you gtfo

And when I had plastidipped stockies on my TSX...looked so bad, just like steelies, tore them off after a day. That's just my opinion though...

Well, if you love it - leave it. I agree with pretty much everything said here, you've got too much going on. Think of it as, at least, a good practice run.

You have to use the additional plastidip metallizer and the the glossifier and then the meta-glossifier to get that wheel look on plastidip

OP, Really, not a bad job, and the murder look isnt THAT bad either, just undo the white CF and go for a singular theme, and the wood HAS to go. If you plan on keeping the wood, you need to switch out for darker wood, ALA c300, but IMO, it wont work with the quality of aftermarket wood panels, and in a car with the character of the TSX, it doesnt fit properly

welcome to the internet also, everyone here is an asshole

Yo my wheels have metallizer so they look great... Pyros look ehhh hahaha. Also, I'm Gunna go out on limb here and say I like the black and white cf.( def not the wood tho) however, the black and white cf doesn't look so great on your color car. I think I might adopt this look for my interior since I have a white car!

haha pretty much! Thats what it adds up to lol. Thought about doing the white cf exactly the way he has it but wasn't sure how it would look. I was lookin at it on my ipad and the first few photos I was like... interesting... pretty nice.... yeah im diggin this white and black cf interior.... oh no, its not a white TSX?.... thats kinda off...at least....damn wood grain.... ED IS GAY... why... in the back too...oh well... he will prob get raped about the wood grain so i wont be so hard on the guy.... thanks for the pics.... ill probably do this over summer.

AND that was my thought process ED IS STILL GAY.

Hi all!
Thanks for the comments and the opinions.
I realized the wood did not come out good for the interior. I just gonna take it off soon. However with the black rims. I think it is pretty good looking on my car, cause it is not really all black, these rims are metallic color. I think because of the phone camera and the sun make it does not look good in the picture.

Is here any body has the "Start Stop Button" on the car?

its been done, but from what i remember, you still needed to have the key in the "on" position on the car before pressing the button would work, making the button more for looks because if you gotta stick the key in, you may as well turn it. browse these threads, the second one is a DIY in the 1st gen TSX. should be nearly the same. the last post is also a link to some advanced key that solves the problem of taking the key out? too lazy to read, here are all the links

edit: http://www.advancedkeys.com/technology_install.htm
the first one is it installed on an 08 TSX, look into that
