Car looks good. I'm iffy on that roof spoiler though. But it's not bad.

That first image is making me want to mod by CBP! What program did you use for the HDR?

ed_423

the first picutre is just awesome.

1sty pics was great, too bad for the "noisy" background... open background would be better than a garage door

ImpressInk

the pictures dont do it justice.. It grew on me exponentially throughout the day. it adds a lot of substance to the car and changes the overall rear look.

Im going to redo the rear window tint..it will look a lot cleaner

any pic of the 8000k bulbs? car looks great

paint the grille a satin black.
that would look HOT

Really nice job on the car man. Take this guys advice for the next mod. Where did you get the roof spoiler?

Looks good. I agree the something has to be done with the grill. either Paint or CT-engineering's carbon piece. Have you thought about removing the Acura and TSX badge? My self and a lot of other people here like to do so and its a easy mod.

If you're going for the VIP look, I'd suggest keeping the chrome grill. Now, I may be misunderstanding the term "VIP" but if you look at heads of state, celebrities, etc. the Lincoln Town Cars/Limos they ride in all have some chrome in the front.

If it were all black then it would look more "murdered out" than VIP. IMHO.

ed_423

a lot of younger ppl likes the all black killer look, a lot of the kids at my school does it. but i think with some chrom its more classy than sporty

ImpressInk

VIP and Murdered out are two pretty new specific modding styles.

I was thinking about getting an all black set of wheels..it would definitely change the look of the car..and if I could have an interchangeable all black grill, and removable headlight/tailight dark overlays

ed_423

that woudl be pretty awesome to have those interchangeable partss. but gonan cost a lot $$$ lol

first i wanna say that i think the new tsx has TONS of potential and id love to "VIP" one out myself...also i want to commend you for trying to go a different direction than most of the other 2nd gens ive seen in the states.


just some constructive criticism...vip has been around for a long time now, and its about, above and foremost, stance and fitment. s-techs would not be considered VIP...i see youre getting coils, but id recommend going with something other than tien as they will not get you dumped to a level that is considered "VIP"...also, youre gonna need legit wheels, and exe doesnt make the cut.

aside from being picky about the label you gave your car, i think its looking nice so far and look forward to seeing how it turns out...i never look at this side of the boards, but i will be every once in a while now to see what advancements have been made to your build

Just get the jap spec tein, the low down spec flex for sedans they made one for the CU2, which is the 2nd gen TSX, im sure it'd fit the same as they're the same car really. i wouldn't mind getting my hands on them too, even though i already have the tein SS us spec for TSX on my CU2.

Btw are you planning on the jap vip look? like with the door visors and all?

The EXE's are Euro baby! I love how they look on your ride!!!

niceeee

Are you on coils right now? your car's stance is perfect, i love it. I like the sideskirts alot too cause it makes your car look lower haha.

ImpressInk

Just S-techs.. they sagged.. im guessing another half an inch.
after 6 months or so, springs tend to sag lower. its making my ride more bumpy tho.. I am thinking of getting coilovers

Ichiro

Looking good. Love the staggered setup

CGP CL9

does the rear bumper usually look like that or was it modded?
and i still think a satin black front grille would compliment the look you're going for.

gsin

those wheels just look awesome!

Jessica_hale

Very nice!

boki_cu2
