i thought a TSX was "classier" than that to have a "civic" type mod. plastidip has run rampant hehe.
as for this car, it lost me when the taillamps were tinted.

 

to each his own I guess I like it, keep up the great work car looks sexy

 

hrmm.. i thought about painting my interior trim but i dont think it looks good at all after seeing this.. may stick with my original plan and get them covered in alcantara.

i think smoked tails/heads only look good on black or white cars.

no offense. just not my cup of tea i guess.

 

that's exactly what i was asking for. thank you!

 

Man its been a while since i have updated this thread. Thats what happens when life consumes you... plus not having money for any mods.

But now ladies and gentlemen... i present to you the mod of mods.... something truly special.....







Yes now my interior is fully LED was gonna do red like the rest of my lighting but decided that the ladies in my life, who would actually be using the vanity mirrors, wouldn't care for it to much.

Hopefully this year, after my tax refund, i can start up with some more mods... dying to do the RV6 downpipe w/HFC combo... will see what else 2013 brings.

Happy New Years everyone.

 

looks like a big project, nice

 

Just ordered RV6 Downpipe/HFC Combo....

 

 

Also forgot to mention i ordered some V3 Triton - Switchbacks.... cleared headlights coming soon!

 

Yeeeuh! If you don't like the downpipe you can sell it to me! Good luck with the light modz. Gunna look sick if u can pull it off.

 

haha.. well i actually met with the light specialist today.... and its basically not gonna happen.... he has never seen anything like that.... and it would take a lot of R&D he said, which takes time and money... sooooo... i may have to settle for the alternative... gonna do a lil more research and see if there are more specialists in the area.

 

How hard is it to install a lightbulb? lol. Can't wait for sound clips of the rv6 and ct-e exhaust!

 

Well also looking to do something special with the lights while they are open

 

Look what arrived today...

 

Do it! Do it now!

 

Soooo what was total price of the downpipe and hc?? I want it.... But... Warranty. (

 

$589 plus 5% off coupon code. Not cheap... hopefully real worth it...

 

Ok I don't feel bad anymore... That's out of my price
Range for a little while lol. Gopro and flash pro set me back.

 

Just to make you jealous lol

 

^^ that bumper is on my wish list for this year I want so bad

 

I actually don't care for it too much. Idk why, it just looks too "thick" or something. And I feel like they didn't know what to do with the grille so they just kinda made it small and attracted your attention to the other bulky parts of the bumper.

Now if they ever made that Mugen concept hood with the vents... mannnn I would probably payy $500 for that!!

 

yup that bumper looks porcelain and fakeish, i dont like it too much. mainly around the fog

 

too bad they'd charge you 2 grand for it

 

Only jealous of 2nd pic... and not that jealous because its not your car

 

Done Deal...

Before








After






Some quick thoughts, as i got this done at 7AM this morning, and drove directly to work:

Pulls a little better, not sure i notice a big difference as of yet. Sound wise.. Definitely a different sound now, and much louder. Is it raspy??.... cant quite tell yet. Cant be that bad if i haven't really noticed it in my 20+ min drive. Could be cause of my CT-E exhaust. I'll post some more thoughts once i have driven it for a while.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sound clips please~!

 

And whoa did a car shop really just install a catless setup for you? That's Illegal!

 

so is tint. lol

 

lol you're right but only some tints are illegal ahahha

 

ok so here are my initial thoughts after a day of driving.

Car pulls great, and i can really feel the difference. Much more free flowing.

As i said before, the car is definitely louder, but only when giving it a decent amount of gas. When cruising, or slowly accelerating... my exhaust still sounds (for the most part) the same with the nice growl i am used to. When pushing it, it then kicks up the sound a notch... It's a louder, more ricey sound. But i will say this, i do not hear any rasp with my current setup. if there is, my ears aren't picking it up.

I will try and get a sound clip or video up so everyone can hear it for themselves, and give me their opinion.

Not sure i care for how loud it sounds when pushing it. Sometimes i love it, sometimes i think its a bit ricey for my tastes. Still have to give it some time. Thinking about resonator, even though i was against it. I understand it should make it growl most if not all the time then?

 

Then resonator on the ct-e exhaust bust be hella powerful if you're not getting rasp. But a sound clip will help judge if you are getting it.

 

ill try to get a video when i have some free time. In talking to some people i know who are car enthusiasts, some say its rasp... but one that doesnt sound bad, others say its not.

Either way its not HORRIBLE to me... like i said, sometimes i like it, sometimes i think its a bit much. i may just deal with it.

 

Game, I have a 12 tsx se 6sp just like you and I am having some difficulty installing the short shifter u have in your car. The instructions that were given to me were for the first gen tsx not the cu2. I tried to just figure it out on my own, but to no avail. I was able to spin the shifter knob off and pull up the console piece with the cup holders and I was able to detach the seat warmers and separate the shift boot, but where do I go from there. Do I have to remove the entire center console like the cubbys, sides, armrest, etc in order to get the shifter box out? Please help!

 

Search up dude I wrote a DIY

 

^^ Yeah he wrote one.

It was still a pain in the ass. I was able to install mine without unhooking the cables too. But literally the worst install I've had to do thus far.
