well for those that have been following my DIY projects. this was the actual shape that i was trying to achieve. i figured it would be easier to just modify an existing front lip and just cut it up in certain parts and just extend it using fiberglass.

ed_423

hjahmad

defconskylude

What's up with the bug shield on your hood man ? ?

lola2010

That looks great. I am actually thinking about starting to mod my 08 TL S. Just not sure where to start.

I guess Ebay is as good as a place as any to start looking for mods..

its an EDM hood deflector imported from australia

its 3M di-noc carbon fiber vinyl

GbosilTLS07

Oh ok wasn't sure what it was. Never saw one on a TSX before ...cool.

Nice job on the beak! Was the carbon vinyl hard to install? Where did ya get it at? I saw on E-bay they are now starting to sell real Carbon Fiber front grills for the TSX but they are pretty pricey!!

In for finished pics.

yea youll see most of these hood deflectors in europe, japan and australia. i havent seen any in the US yet. so its definitely a rare piece to sport

vinyl isnt hard to install. just gotta get your hands dirty, be okay to make mistakes with a lot of trial and error and just be persistent.

i got it from a local shop that does vinyl on exotic cars and commercial signs.

yea i dont want to spend over $200 on real cf.

im paint matching the lower grill and keeping the upper grill cf vinyl
