Dont use windex...its ammoina based which isint great for your cars paint nor the tint film itself.
Instead, just take a spray bottle and fill it with water and put like 2-3 drops of dishwashing soap in it. This is what most tint installers use when they install your window tint.

I think a light tint like what I did might look better on a red car. But it's looking great overall! Once you drop it I will be in love.

feels nice i must say, throw is significantly reduced in shifts.
Here is a quick crappy video i put together to hopefully show everyone the difference.
Also looking at possibly getting this weighted shift knob? What you guys think?

I like this replacement knob. You definitely feel the extra weight, and it really makes the shifts much easier, smoother, and faster.

I have the same knob, and it is great. There was a phase when I was really into trying different shift knobs so I have a decent collection. This one is one of my fav's but it can get really hot in the summer.
#220
the original got real hot too on top... but yeah, today its around 95 and sunny, and already almost burnt through my hand on my lunch break haha.

Wow, I officially hate my TSX after reading this tread. Lol. Seriously game, your car looks sick, man. Awesome job so far!
Everyone on this thread seems to know their s**t, so was hoping you or someone on here could answer a couple questions.
Looking to put on new wheels, but don't know much about that part. Instead of putting spacers on front and back, could you have gone with spacers in the front only, and still get that staggered look? Then you could still rotate the tires.
Also, what made you decide to go with those specific tires for the rims? Too many choices in that dept and I got confused when looking into it.
Thanks for this thread, dude. Car is awesome!

Interior Trim Change
Been a while since i have done anything. Finally got around to doing this mod. Inspired by ssjoeboe9, i followed his directions in his progress thread and plastidipped my interior trim red, and also used the glossifier plastidip to finish it off. I think it came ok pretty good, and matches the red and black theme i got going.
Only thing im not sure of is the stenciled TSX logo ont he right.... didnt come out quite so straight
... though its not horrible IMO. Will have to redo it when i have time.

i actually only have spacers in the back, because i didnt want the staggered look, i wanted everything to be flsuh. They are 15 mm spacers. Thus allowing me to rotate my tires if i wanted to.
As for the tires, i did research, and they were rated really good.Plus Costco had a deal on bridgestone tires... and they INCLUDE road hazard protection.... so it was a win win

DUDE.... It looks sooo awesome man. I'm sure a lot more people will be considering doing this to their trim after they see this.
People are going to get in your car and instantly be drawn to those pieces you have painted. I'm jealous, I want to see this in person.

can we get an open door shot to see the flow from outside to inside?
looks pretty sexsii to me, and +1 to removing/redoing the stencil.

I think I'll be the first to say that I don't like the direction in which this car is going.
Just not my taste I guess.
Nice shift knob though Mr. Sicilian Playboy, I had the same one in my Civic.

I like! Yeah, the "TSX" on the passenger side is really crooked...
Also you should peel the blue film off the door metal door sills.

I like the rest of your car though, painted interior items get old real quick.
