i like how the stock grill looks on the pwp.. if i black it out or carbon it i think it looks funny.. that body kit is looking crazy. lol too much work but i guess its a fun hobby if you dont have to do it everyday

im rocking a whispbar roof rack. its alot cleaner then most of the thule racks i saw.. wanted a flush type of look abit more then thules but looks way better imo.

http://www.whispbar.com/roofracks

the bike rack itself is thule though.

While I'm not a fan of the tucked drop (i.e. I'm old) the overall look is great. Everything flows beautifully.

btw, i saw you test fitting a type S lip kit before you picked up the aero kit. what happened to it

edit: correct me if i'm wrong, but you wrapped the grill now, did you not

Yes, the kit is the front, rear and side skirt. Prices here in Australia are roughly:

Rear = $850
Side skirt = $500
Front = unsure.

Call up a Honda/Acura dealership and ask for the prices. They may be on 'special' and stuff.

Edit: To the OP, could you please tell me how many inches/cm it is from the ground to your front bumper/can you take a picture of your car head on?

Thanks if you can!

oh cool. yea i always wanted the tsx when it first came out but couldn't justify the price when it was brand new.

ill sell the type s kit for $250 your right by my place so saves me shipping lol. i bought it for 5something i dont remember now. lmk.

yea found a shop that would help me pass the vi. just a pain in the ass. surprisingly it was VPD that gave it to me lol.

recent pic of grill wrapped and dipped


VI = vehicle inspection its a bullshit moneymaking scheme the govt has for people that "illegally modifies cars to race"

How is the roof rack for wind noise?
Was it a difficult install?

It doesn't appear to sit as high as the Thules or Yakimas I've been checking out. I have a trunk mount but it wont cut it for the bike I'm looking at picking up.

Thanks,

you know the whole kit is polyurethane and can be folded into a smaller box for cheaper shipping. then use a heat gun to massage it back to shape.

hey dane,

it looks better with the wrapped grill. i think its because you also have cleared headlights to compliment the scheme
