Finally posting some pics of my cbp V6 tsx

Hey guys I've been on the forums just lurking around here for a year or so now.
I've finally decided to put some pics up of my cbp v6, just going to post 2 for now, more to come later =]

the pics are from a nexus s phone so bare with me as i don't have a fancy camera ;[

this one is of my car after i brought it back from installing the atlp grille. fitment is so so... need to fix the gap in between the hood and grille but overall i do like the look of it.


here's a pic i took when i went out to hempstead harbor park out in long island with the gf.

whoa we have another guy with the atlp grille?!?!


since your car is black, the gap should be less noticeable. take the silicon strip from the oem grille and install it on the new grille. check my progress thread for my result

thanks guys ;] the grille changes the car so much. another thing about it is that the one i purchased is one where marcus powdercoated the mesh so it holds up better, i might swap that out later as i feel the clips are going to fail on me.

mods as of now:
-ijdmtoy white drl
-debadged v6 emblem for less clutter on the trunk
-weathertech visors
-atlp grille
-oem decklid spoiler

some future mods in the maybe near or distant future are:
-aero kit
-sport pedals from the se trim
-led swaps in/out
-tobwac's nav as i don't have tech
-red out tails
-a drop and rims
-debating on de-badging the tsx and acura
look i'm going for is similar to the pwp tsx with the aero kit on vossens

^ all that above is going to take an eternity since im looking to save money for a place of my own

to ed:
so yeah i do have a weather strip in between the hood and grille but i feel like its not placed far out enough, i'll look at my box with my oem grille in it and see if i can find that weatherstrip and play around with it.

Honestly from the pics, I don't really notice the gap. Maybe it's more noticeable in person.
Looks great though!

maybe just a little more, i barely scrape on my driveway as is at the moment and streets in new york are not very forgiving =x.

here's an extra one of the license plate after being centered, and a nice wash to get all the pollen off.
