^He's from Poland and drives a CU2 Accord. English sometimes lost in translation, besides, defcon has very thick skin and a good sense of humor.

Dude, you have the sexiest TSX I have ever seen, great job. Love the exhaust. I used to have an 04 Pearl White till I traded it on a TL this year. I was thinking about the V6 TSX, but the TL was just calling my name when I saw it with the Umber interior lol

the umber interior should have been an option on the TSX, wouldve been a great combo with so many colors

MONEY IN THE BANK

Your TSX is just too hot!! Keep up the mods - can't wait to see what else you can do with it!

As Thomas Edison found 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb I'm sure you are finding out that are many ways not to make a TSX look like turd

yes this kit is for the 09-10. i had to cut around the foglight area to get the proper curve to match. there's still a gap so i still have to figure out a way to cover it or blend it in

if you go this route, get it professionally done.

Front end looks really aggressive. Maybe some minor fitment issues on the back. Sick ride man.

hey defcon, hows the ride with stech so far? i am thinking of doing something similar, stech with 19x9.5 +45. you think the tire size you are using is good?

also, do you rub with a full car?

thanks man!

its been like 3 years already and stechs are fine

im not rubbing with 245/35/19 at all. next tires i get would better side walls like 250/35/19 or 255/35/19

i still dont rub with a full car. thats because im a professional

with wider tires its slower. then again i drive slow anyways so its moot. however if youre like tsxronald, he'd probably use like 16's and dial in at like 17.37 ET whenever he's racing a 1/4 mile. just kidding ronald. hahahahaha

there's more road noise (probably due to the brand of tires i have). then again i paid $30-$50 per used tire.

i like the wider tires because i get more steering wheel feedback from the road.

do 9.5 in the front and 10 in the rear

Looking REAL good bro. Really great job on the mods. Not sure on the roof spoiler but maybe its the angle! Either way car looks SICK!
