Starting on my 2011 tsx. I need to know good places online to purchase a lip kit and front grill for my car. Ive read things about parts not fitting right and having to shape them yourself. Please help me

 

2011+ TSX are the facelifted. New front bumper, new front grille, different fog lights, rear taillights' corners are pink, trunk chrome bar. Might be something else as well. AFAIK, those are the main differences.

Side skirts you can get Aero/Sport/Modulo side skirts (all the same thing, just different names for different markets), or SE side skirts if you can find them. I don't know if the dealership will sell them to you or not, and even so, they're likely not painted.

There is no rear lip, but there's a rear Aero/Sport/Modulo bumper.

If you want a front "lip", you can get the SE lip. It's a two piece, subtle change. Google Acura TSX SE to see what that looks like. If you don't want that, you could get the Aero/Sport/Modulo front bumper. BUT, this requires a 2009-2010 TSX grille (it's different from the 2011+ grille); the 2011+ grille will NOT fit this bumper. You could also get the JDM Modulo H grille, or the 2008-2010 Accord Euro Type S grille (3 chrome bars). All of these will fit the Aero/Sport/Modulo front bumper, but just NOT the 2011+ TSX grille. You'll also need 09-10 TSX fog lights if you get the modulo front. It's a bit of a hassle, but it's a nice bumper.

If you stick with the 2011+ TSX front bumper, you can swap your grille with a 2011+ Accord Euro Type S grille. Similar to the 08-10 Type S grille, but smaller, 2 chrome bars.

Everything listed above is OEM.

You could go Mugen.. but it's expensive as fuck. eBay stuff you'll need to mold to make it look half-decent, and the quality is shit.

Good luck

 

Thank you for the reply, it still seems a little unclear. What are some good places to buy parts from, and should i trust the pre painted parts?

 

OEM parts you can buy from the Acura dealership (except for the Honda Accord Euro grilles; these are available at European Honda dealerships). Some parts come painted, some don't. As far as I know, the Modulo pieces all come painted. Base bumpers, SE side skirts (if you can find a dealership with them) likely do NOT come painted, even from the dealership. You may ask the dealership to get them painted for you. But, the dealership will outsource the paint work to the shop they use for collision repairs and whatnot. But the colour may not be 100% matched with the rest of your car. What I'm trying to say is, base bumpers and SE side skirts (and maybe some other items) may not come painted from the factory.

Why not trust prepainted stuff? If it's OEM, have Honda stampings and part numbers on them, and the paint matches yours, why not buy it?

I've found Curry Acura and Delray Acura usually have the best prices. Give them a call and see how much items cost, whether they come in your colour or not, etc.

 

Ty xtcnrice i just came across curry acura and was gonna ask if they make good parts. I thjink i will try them out by getting a pre painted spoiler. Any thoughts of what spoiler looks best on a graphite 2011?

 

There are only two OEM trunk spoilers for our cars. The decklid spoiler and the wing spoiler. Decklid is more popular on this board, as it has a cleaner look to most people. But the wing isn't exactly bad looking either. I've opted to put neither on my car, as I think it looks best without either. But that's a matter of opinion

Curry Acura and Delray Acura are reputable dealerships. I'm a Canadian and even I have dealt with Curry Acura for some OEM parts before.

Triple, non-sequential post. Unless there's an Azine issue, this man deserves an award!

 

Haha sorry new to everything you can say. What about carbon fiber parts. Any good suggestions?

 

JDP engineering.

 

ive only been able to find one accord type s bumber on ebay for 150 unpainted, there has to be a web site where i can order the rear aero bumper. even if i have to ship it overseas is ok can someone help. also the one on ebay says it will fit 09 to 12 is that right or not?

 

Post a link

is that the same replica that defconskylude has on his? and if not where the heck do i look. everyone only sells front and sides or se rear. how do i get ahold of a place overseas to ship one?

 

Yeah that should be the same one defcon has. It's gonna look like shit unless you have patience to heat it and mold it to fit better.

 

i dont think i have patience, but i think i found a painted oem rear sports bumper that will just have to work. problem is its over 500 so it will have to take a couple weeks to save up for.

 

is anyone able to tell me if this is the right rear i need. and also if anyone has some pics with this on the car compared to off the car. heres the part number, except its for the black not the grapite....ACURA TSX 2009-2013 SEDAN REAR SPORTS BUMPER (CRYSTAL BLACK PEARL) *NH731P* GENUIEN OEM PART#08P02-TL2-2B0B

 

If you have a Crystal Black Pearl TSX, then yes it will fit. I don't have any pics; just search the forum.

 

what confuses me is that it says those wings will fit a 09 10 also. i thought the 2009 2010 was a full piece for the front lip.
