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.

Still have this pos. It ended up sitting for about 2-3 years because I hit a big ass rock in the middle of the road and cracked my trans case. Tried JB weld initially, but I didn't drain the fluid so it wouldn't bond properly and still leaked. Replaced the case with a new one but probably forgot something in the process because it would not shift properly. Got fed up with it sitting so I ended up picking up a used tranny off ebay for about $500 and threw that in for the time being until I feel like figuring out what's wrong with the new case. Keep in mind, I did this on the driveway so I was not motivated at all to work on it hence why it sat for so long LOL.



Few additions since the last post. "Track mods" but never actually hit the track again. Seat was my biggest complaint after doing that track day and still one of my favorite additions to the car. Also ended up picking up the taller stands as well. Other than that, not much has changed and it's still as reliable as ever.





Also picked up a wagon on October 1st
Would've preferred a white one but the price was right and black interior

Funny enough, the passenger side windshield molding flew off on the drive back lmao. Windshield was replaced and it was poorly glued back.

Currently recycling all my old spare parts that have been sitting onto it. Threw the Tein Basics on there within a week of owning it. Shocks were blown on it and it was hella floaty and not pleasant to drive at all. Picked up some ebay fins for the front bumper and then going to recycle the modulo skirts. Just need to get those painted and they'll be going on next. Visors are also damn near impossible to find now for the wagon. Found some OEM ones from Japan on ebay, but even those being clapped the fuck out were roughly $300 . It's also missing the cargo cover so had to source that from Japan as well. Found a yahoo auctions listing for the cover and the divider net and got that for about $50. Still waiting for my friend to ship it though since it wouldn't let me bid with Buyee.
