ed_423

u going to the meet btw? im debating if i wanna go or not LOl

defconskylude

ya i think im going to the meet. its 4x4 right now and its annoying me. i buying s techs tonight. hopefully i can get them installed this weekend along with my ls460 tips and type s rear. i have a shop that can do the spring install for $120 in palmdale.

i did a test fit of the type s front and it doesnt fit properly around the foglight area.

im putting my roof spoiler, m3 spoiler and mud guards soon too

Terdbath

Thats what I'm talking about. Goodstuff there Defcon.

jaycope

Looks great. What rims are those?

KillerG

silver fogs look nice with the clear headlights, kudos

can we look forward to anything rad like hood vents? im always expecting something gamebreaking from you

KillerG

btw it totally doesnt look 4x4 and do you still have that donated pbhak bumper? you could find out if the 09 fits on the 11

MrOtocinclus

GLM looks good!

defconskylude

im uploading more pics through flickr. those first set of pics were just teasers.

rims are VMR 5x120 19X9.5 +45 all around
235/35/19

im thinking about doing the vents again but not in a huge hurry right now.

i still have pbhak's front bumper and i will paint match it GLM. i still need to find a grill so i can paint match it at the same time. ill just use the type s front with the 09 bumper and i plan to create two front caps from scratch.

Mr. NC

The cleared ambers look good with that color...but that bug deflector...needs to go lol

kowloonsniperhk

I like. btw how did you cut out for the red vinyl for the tail lights? I removed my tints on my tail lights and want to do red out my rear turn signals.

defconskylude

hood deflector stays. i believe im the only one who has it in the US.

i got my red tints from www.stickercity.com
theyre local to me so i just picked it up and did a quick install. i just used water and a heatgun. its simple

i just found out 09-10 reverse taillights will cost about $200 shipped which is way too expensive for that look. i found a cheaper way to white out my reverse lights using a frosted tint commonly used on commercial windows for $10

Euronoob

You're getting back into it straight away defcon! Car is starting to look even better. Thumbs up.

Could I ask where you're buying/where you got your M3 spoiler and roof spoiler? I'm looking for some but not sure which ones on eBay are good fitment.

defconskylude

thanks

m3 spoiler $25 shipped and roof spoiler (08 civic si) are from ebay. FYI theyre both short on the fitment. im not a picky guy so i went with it.

KillerG

defcon, have you considered doing any trailblazing or going off-roading with your tsx before you put your s-techs on? i think you could make a run for the dakar rally

09TSXTech

Defcon, great job. I really starting to like the GLM colour more and more. The Vancouver International Auto Show starts this Tuesday, my office is only 3 blocks away from the convention centre, definitely try to see that colour in person.

BTW, you mentioned the rims are VMR 5x120 19X9.5 +45 all around, our rims are 5 x114.3, thought it was a typo, then I remembered you CNC milled them to 5x114.3.

Great looking car and keep up the good work.

pbhak002

looks good man. Cant wait to see ur ride in person. R u planning to remove the chrome piece from the back?

defconskylude

either paint matched or plasti dipped or cf vinyl. i dont know yet

ed_423

not bad man. chrome around the mouth gotta go. plastic dip and wraped grille looks good. clear headlights look amazing.

eyelid gotta go. it doenst look like it fits very well from the picture

tobwac

Best looking 2011

saucy

Looks great defcon, cant wait to see this thing sitting closer to the pavement. Glad to see you not holding back on that lease man. Love the cleared headlights on this color.

09ACURATSX

Damn bro, you don't waste any time. Lol! Nice btw

defconskylude

ive been itching to put all my parts back on since i got the car

im really anxious to put my LS tips and type s rear back on.

defconskylude

thanks. ya i was debating whether to tint the DRL housing again but decided to keep it clean.

also i wont be cutting hood vents into this hood. id only do the m3 vents again if i can purchase a used hood that i can swap anytime.

defconskylude

i like the eye lids a lot because it makes it look mean. i think its the 3M tape thats throwing it off because its raised a bit. ill have to readjust it

the chrome on the front mouth, im still debating on it. i can cover it up with gunmetal vinyl so its not chrome. but then again i can just throw it away. ill give it a few weeks

Sick! You did all that in one day? Or pretty much one day? I salute you good sir. That color definitely looks good. Not a big fan of that bug deflector but hey, you still make it look pretty good.

defconskylude

thanks.
yep one day. it was my first time doing the taillight tint.

bug deflector isnt too noticeable. i guess it blends in with the color. it used to be clear but i tinted it.

718Tsx

man defcon everytime i look at your car i think it's so nice but then when i see the bug deflector... i don't know can't get past it =[

SteVe-inTSX

i need those headlights asapthat color is awesome, and wheel color looks perfect on the car, cant wait to see the drop. nice work

defconskylude

thats funny

kowloonsniperhk

rome wasn't built in one day but defcon's tsx is lol.

i say don't tint the DRL/high beam housing for now...

kowloonsniperhk

which one exactly did you buy one sticker city?

defconskylude

its the transparent red vinyl

i didnt buy it off their site.

TSXKid2010

^+1, but hey it's your car, just my opinion right there.

Damn, all those mods back up, it looks almost like your old car again already! Waste no time haha.

Still not putting those clips into your bumper?!

defconskylude

i only put the 2 screws on the front wheel wells and 4 tabs for the upper bumper

i dont bother putting the clips back on the bottom bumper.
