30%!? They look much darker.. I ended up getting 15% all around on mine and I might have to get my 2 front windows re-done. I have been driving around with my sunroof open to shine more light in. I feel like I am bound to get pulled over.
I had 15% on all my other cars and it didn't look as dark as they do on the TSX. I have pics of mine posted on my progress thread.
Thank you everyone for the compliments!I had 15% on all my other cars and it didn't look as dark as they do on the TSX. I have pics of mine posted on my progress thread.

pretty annoying that they were different colors, im hoping they burn in correctly. if not, it'll take a minute to change the bulb, as i showed you, just gotta order the right ones

I like the yellow, When the car is lowered you will have more of it projected on the ground. It'll look really cool, I'm considering going yellow myself, Although I love the bright white, Every car in my rear view has 5000+ Hids top and bottom, Im no different ;(

Thanks for posting Dave. Didn't get pulled over. Lol 
And thanks for that pic! Submitting that one to the company.
And yes... 30%. In pics it looks darker than in person.

Oh...and on another note... my Tein SS is on backorder. -.-
I'm supposed to be lowered on April 7. Doesn't look likely now -.-

I don't know.. I guess a lot of people with 2nd gen TSX/8th gen Accord realllyy want those coils. Tein isn't giving any estimate of when they will have more -.-
I will do! Yes, I am definitely doing the overlays. Just not sure if I will buy my own on ebay or have my tint shop do it. They do it for $30.

Kait,
order here...take a piece of plain paper, hold it up to your fog and use your nail to go around the edge to create a template. Then transfer it to the back of the vinyl, cut it out and apply it one edge to the other (to avoid bubbles). Cheap and easy...leave a slight area around the edges to allow heat to dissipate to avoid the browning from theat heat.

After the tsunami, there has been a shortage of a lot of japanese built parts IIRC...check with kuruma motoring on ebay. I've bought my last 3 suspensions from there...SOMEONE out there has a set in stock.

^^ Thanks 
Yeah, it's not on my high list of priorities, but I will be doing it eventually. I'd probably rather have my tint shop do it so that it looks legit. It'll probably look dumb if I try to do it, lol.

No problemo!
Well, what I've learned over the years is that just because you're paying someone to do something, doesn't mean they'll do a better job than you would (and usually they don't). lol...
That's also why I do my own mods...plus, I still have a broke high school modder mentality.

Everyone.
Help me channel the coilover gods. If we combine together as a force maybe my coils will be available by the time that I need them.
:Hummmmm:

Most vendors dont necessarily carry stock, instead when they receive an order they just place an order of their own from Megan and have it sent to you, I believe in this case Megan is out, since I have heard other people comment about the fact that Megan Ez for 08+ Accord is on backorder, so you may be out of luck unless you can find a vendor that MAY have one in stock

I prefer The teon basics over The ss. The ss pissed me off cause i would constantly change The strut setting and never felt satisfied with how it was riding.

Dave -- thanks but relax and enjoy you're weekend I'm not making you do this again, lol. I'll get around to it .. eventually.
I am going to just wait out the coils. My friends shop ordered them and I am trying to give them business. I don't have a problem waiting, I just hope I don't have to wait TOO long

I'm really sorry to hear that about your friend...could have been worse, can ALWAYS be better! I wish him a speedy recovery!
Kait, don't sweat it, I'm sure there are plenty of mechanics that are itching to get their hands on your headlights...
On a serious note, I agree with giving friends the business...but how long is a "long" wait?!?! How long have you already been waiting on the suspension?
