Have you put those on yet? I sent them an e-mail Friday with some questions... I've heard the fit is very good... did they paint them for you before shipping or you have to take care of that once you receive them?

Been eyeing their kit pretty hard

While I only have the skirts on, the fitment is spot on. No issues at all. I actually got them second hand from a friend that got his car totalled out, but I'm pretty sure they don't paint them. Honestly I would prefer it not be painted anyways. Take em to your trusted body shop of choice and have them paint match it for best results.

Took me like 6 months just to get a set of pads too.



I actually do track the car and plan on getting a diffuser, hence why I cut the bumper lol
As for the wing, It's actually at a perfect height right now, I can open the trunk and have about an inch of buffer room between the wing and rear glass. J's racing does make 275mm stands, and my friend has a set for sale so I might test fit and see how that goes.







Oh yeah, also wrapped the headlights and foglights yellow because the clear coat started peeling again and looked like ass
Good deal. This must made this thread even better. More track shots next time you take it out. Looks good out on the track.

If you remove the lip spoiler and move the mounting points for the sing back a big you will have no problem fitting the taller stands.

True, but I don't really want to make any more holes in the trunk lol. Also didn't want the wing to sit further back than the bumper hence why I left the trunk lid spoiler on there and mounted it a bit more forward. The way it is now, it sits pretty much flush with the rear bumper.

Why did you have to chop the bumper for tracking?

Also need sound clips of the HKS exhaust. Don't think I've ever seen one of those on the TSX.
