So today was a test fitment and the front lip obviously doesnt fit well around the foglight area. i trimmed around it and it looks good to me.

i got my s techs today and will be installing them tomorrow along with my LS460 tips.

i will be sanding down the lip tomorrow and paint matching it. also probably do a debadging while im at it

Good job on the front end fitment, can't wait to see the final product with the LS tips.

 

thanks man

ill be putting 3M tape to get rid of the gaps and i still have to use a heat gun on the front lip since it warped on me when it was sitting in the garage.

 

ooooooh. I really like it mocked up. Please please please take your time and fit the lip kit like its a SEMA show car. Other than that keep it up Defcon. Cant wait to see it lowered.

 

Get 'em defcon!



Always admired your work.

 

He's baaaaaaaaackkk!!

 

lol mod it up, like the grille!!!

 

defconfly~
what happen to your 09 or 10 model?
did you get rid of it? cuz I remember that you had previous model..
not the brand new 2011 model..
anyway~ still looks good..
why don't you try mugen looks?

 

^ kpsharp929, his car was totaled after driving over a huge rock or something.

I have to say, the GLM color looks really nice. Darker than Grigio, looking almost black, and very elegant looking.

 

not bad

 

^+1 on that

 

Defcon is a true TSX enthusiast. New car smell ftw.

 

That thing will be perfect when the s-techs go on.

 

i got a lot done today. pics will be posted in 3 hours.

i have to do some work first.

'11 Front end looks way better. Nice work!

 

Amazing. Despite sharing the same parts as your '09, this iteration is leaps and bounds better. Great job.

 

hm the tips doesnt look like it fits well

 

Ya the left one is angled wrong. I have to make a few bends on the brackets to even it out. Otherwise I might get it rewelded

 

Job very well done, defcon. Agree with MrOto, this 11 model looks better than your 09.

 

I like that you wrapped the eyelids... very subtle but nice. lemme know if anyone is selling some, I've been looking for a while.

 

Good Job, defcon. The left tip is not ok, but I think its only a matter of time.
Go on

 

Front end looks great...car looks so shiny still! Love the color I would probably ditch the eyelids, though...fitment on them looks a bit iffy.

Get that rear end plasti-dipped and fitment squared away and it'll be a neck-breaker!

 

Defcon, did you take your ride back to eastside muffler to get the tips installed?? These mofo's in Colorado talking about modifying too damn much to get those tips on. I just don't trust their judgement. Help a brother out.

 

Dammmm that looks great
btw are you going to plasti dip the chrome around fog lights

 

wow the car looks phenomenal!

 

thanks. i noticed. its a minor fix and will be taken care of.

 

nah. i think the chrome around the fog gives it some contrast. btw. its not really chrome. its silver

 

thanks. i like the eye lids. i need to add more 3M tape.

i have to do a lot of minor touch ups. the plasti dipped parts i had some tears in them. also a lot of 3M taping on the gaps in my kit.

 

i didnt get a chance to ask u at the meet, but did your switchbacks stop hyperflashing?
Also nice job on ur car. It looks like a stunner even from far away

 

Good work!

 

yep. hahahaha its pretty simple. just cut little by little until it fits.

i have the type s rear and i cut it myself. although i was in a hurry and cut too much. i had them cut my OEM bumper which was covered up by the LS tips and type s rear

my suggestion is get a cardboard, draw your shape, cut it out and test fit the ls tips on that. then you can use the cardboard as a template for cutting your OEM bumper

thanks man. i drove an hour there, chilled for 30 minutes and drove back for a funeral viewing. i wish i couldve stayed longer. next time.

its still hyperflashing. how long do i have to leave it on to get it back to normal?

 

I went to get cake/coffee with Mike, and by the time we came you were gone. lol Umm i think for the switchbacks you are suppose to leave it on for 10 minutes or something. I tried it but it didnt work. About 3 '09 tsxers (Supreme,Kowloon, & 09ACURATSX) got it to work. Maybe it doesnt work for us cuz we are '10, and '11?

 

Loving the CAR...nice work!

 

Nice! I think a little more lower with coils would def change the look of the vehicle. love what you did with the tips. any diy info on tips and debadge? pictures too.

 

id like to go lower but not with los angeles roads. debadge was simple. use a heatgun and pliers. or you can use tooth floss. then goo gone to get rid of excess adhesive

 

Hi defcon. Long time no see. Lot of work.

Car looks awesome... from a distance. Too bad that you still dont pay any attention to details. I love your new rims, fogs looks better then the old version. and thats it...

I can still see road thru your exhaust... You must understand... whatever you do... whatever you install... if someone notice that fake exhaust tips... you lame.

I hope you finally find a way to install them properly.

Good luck!

Oh and how is your child doin... I hope everything is fine! Take care.

 

thanks.

yes i am lame

son is fine.
