1)Ed the lip sticks out maybe 1 or 2 inches out nothin too crazy...from far away you don't even notice the lip is installed
2) Vortex I just realized that if you leave ur lip nude, to match the CT grille I hope the carbon is the same/fairly similar ie the "weave" or w/e its called cuz if not its not matchin?! Not sure if that would bother you or not but that was something I noticed cuz I'm OCD like that haha
3) Kevin tryna catch up to you bro haha next summer should prove to be interesting.
Guys any1 here buy from Nengun Performance? Online JDM store based in Japan. I'm lookin @ a couple things....hehehe

More questions
What is the center bore of the rims/axle? Is it like 67.7mm or something?
And what do people mean by pitch in regards to the lugnuts? like 1.25 or 1.5 pitch?

Dude, try to avoid Nengun if you can--last I checked the prices are kinda crazy...I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're looking up a nice set of hard-to-find JDM wheels??? Speedstar is a good contact here but you should also have a look at optionJDM, GoForTires and tires23 out in Mississauga if you're shopping wheels.
Center bore for our car is something like 64.1mm I think...gotta double-check that though...just means the little thing that sticks out of the wheel hub and where the back of the rim sits into...helps center the rim when mounting.
Thread pitch is the number of threads in the wheel stud....1.5 for us honda/acura guys.

I like it, but the car definitely needs a drop... I know because I just put my 19s back on, but no drop yet and it's difficult to look at.

I know I know! 4x4 status is no bueno, trust me if I could I'd do it now but with summer over, there's no point. I'll wait til spring around April May. Should give me enough time put everything together if everything goes to plan

Hey I know who says that! LOL
Ed I was lookin @ that too, I think it is darker by half a shade or so. My guess is that since its painted on CF the colour is darker cuz I know our cars, they paint on bare metal which is a "lighter" base than the dark CF(if that makes sense) I'm no paint pro but yea. Add in the reflection of the CF & it looks darker. Orrrrrr they totally mixed up the paint mixture which would make no sense cuz I know they used our paint code + they have a machine mix it. I'd go back but I see no point lol the lip is on there, ill bring it up tho when I need some other stuff painted.
Its funny tho cux the TSX has an angular line on the lower part of doors, the shadows make it look like the whole bottom of the car is darker lol, talk bout makin up for it haha

^ Yea yo lol I have no reason to really unless I wanted 2 remove my intake resonator or I have a sudden urge to change my 4300k bulbs to 6000k lol. So I'll wait for that HT grille which considering how this year has gone, the front bumper may never come off haha.
