Yep, this is an old pic of my car above
If i hung around here with no car it would be really sad... but not out of the ordinary
yeah ill have pics soon, I might get to do a mini photoshoot tomorrow night if Im lucky and finish my detail and the 3000x other things I have to do
Pyro is one of the few people who has seen me in person. Pyro i think was like "I expected something different" Lol.
Also have chilled with pbhak
Yeah I got 50%, its the besties, not too dark, and not too dark
If i hung around here with no car it would be really sad... but not out of the ordinaryI have blue LED too...a little dimmer than that, but matches the mood/map lighting blue perfectly, I agree...it's very soothing to have it on. 
PS...Tire Kingdom, I think I remember the colors...and that's where I get my alignments (in FL of course). Also, any shots of the weathertechs with your badge on? in a way I like that they route the dirt down from the dead pedal back onto the mat...that's the only place I get dirt on the carpet on my oem all weathers. And not fk your passengers unless they're the ones cleaning the rear carpet for you!

One of my Favorite mods so far, V-LEDS reverse lights. Dont go cheap on your ebay license plate leds, trust me, I have a box full of dollar LEDs and none of them come close to the awesome brightness of the V-LEDs, which were 20 bucks. Now I see the light
I could probably perform surgical procedures under this thing

So it was a gorgeous day outside and i figured i should get off my ass and install these while i had the chance. Rain tomorrow and wednesday so the cars gonna be garaged for the next 2 days and its too cramped to work in the garage. My main reason for adding these is because ever since i installed ambient lighting in the car I can really see my feet when i drive, and the gross stock pedals, and i wanted to nice it all up down there. Anyway, here are the pics:
Look how disgusting this is. The manufacturer didnt even install my brake pedal correctly. This is an obvious joke, I know someone is gonna comment on this. Shame on you Acura. We should have gotten aluminum pedals stock.
And now the after:
Ah. Much better. The install was super easy, i wouldve made a DIY but it was not necessary, the only required tool is a power drill and some bits.
So i bought the pedals from StrutKing. The shipping was frighteningly fast (1 day) and the sales people were pretty cool and helped me measure the pedals before they shipped em out, this is the link to the exact set i bought:
http://www.strutking.com/products/TL...Pedal-Set.html
I know it says TL but as you can see it fits the TSX quite nicely. the accelerator pedal I must admit, is not an exact fit, but when installing just slide it up a centimeter and its perfectly flush. Brake pedal goes on without any issues. At $69.00 its a hell of a lot cheaper than OEM sport pedals which clock in around 300 with shipping.
Now i know what you are thinking:
"But KillerG, you are missing the dead pedal you jackass, girls are going to sit in your car and NOT have sex with you once they realize you dont have an aluminum dead people"
well, A) Fuck You, and B) I ordered some fucking weathertech mats which nicely cover up the dead pedal and eliminate my need for one.
At the moment you have no choice for an aluminum dead pedal except for the OEM variety which like i mentioned earlier costs two arms and two legs. Although if you insist, i have a DIY solution for you that involves aluminum foil, elmers glue, and raisins. Strutking sales people mentioned that they ordered some test pieces to see if they could get a dead pedal to fit a 2G TSX so that may become an option in the future
enjoy the night shot:

So the mufflers sound amazing, a big change in sound for just a simple can swap, and like tobwac said the videos dont do them justice.
There is zero drone, but i could hear a very very lightly audible hum at around highway cruising RPMs which I kinda didnt like. Im almost sure it would bother noone but myself, but i did personally notice it, im a details man. I decided to go in and line my spare wheel well and some of my trunk lid with peel&seal
15$ and 30 minutes later i had reduced that little hum just enough to make me happy, as you can see above I didnt try too hard to get the application right, but it had the desired effect I was looking for anyway (hoping it wasnt placebo).

My Apex'i WS2 mufflers are uber quiet at cursing speeds. However, I just order a PCD from RV6 so who knows..... BTW, congrats on the mods Killer. It's about time son!

^ It really wasnt necessary but maybe im just a baby 
I kind of want to line all the door panels now too, reduced interior noise in general is nice
yeah it goes inside the spare tire well so you cant see it at all unless you have a flat. I threw some of the inside of the lid for shits and giggles too.
Im sure a tech will see it one day and be like... wut da fuq

I am in the same boat as your Killer. I added some Dynamat in the trunk on my RX-8 to take out some of the drone and noise from the new exhaust. The next step is to Dynamat the doors when I upgrade the factory Blose speakers.

Great progress, I'm happy for you. I remember we had a discussion some time ago about getting mods after you graduated or something like that, and now it's reality... awesome.
