will i be the 3rd to have this? hmmmm

Mr. NC

I feel you bro, I ordered this beginning of June but with production delay & the trip to Europe & everything else crazy to think I only got to install it now. Are you leaving yours CF nude or painted?

Thanks a lot brotings! Yeah I told John if they ever make a full kit I'd be 1st in line, if not ima have to mix & match the body kits lol.

Passed some other TSX owners & its funny to see them do a double take of the of the lip, the face says it all "WTF where he get that" haha

VortexBlueTSX

Funny cause as soon as i sent that message, the next day my splitter came in.....damn hahahhaha but hopefully this hurricane bs isnt to bad and i can get installed on saturday...im leaving it nude cause i think it will mesh with the CT carbon fiber grill to....and me and you will have to help each other out when it comes to mix and matching bodykits hahaha

ttk5

looks REALLY good. gjob man

Mr. NC

Thanks for the kind words bro, tryna catch up to you guys who already got your CU2's done right

Mr. NC

ED hope this helps, I still don't know what you're looking for but yea
Took it with my BB 9900 cam...

VortexBlueTSX

Love it dude, looks great!

Mr. NC

Thanks bro, I'm definitely down for helping each other out in regards to body kits haha. Any updates on the VIS kit?

Seeing this side profile makes me sad...I require massive amounts of Moar Low

MrOtocinclus

Looks great, can't wait to see your future mods. I miss hanging out in Toronto, was in Mississauga a few years ago for some family bidness... good times.

Mr. NC

Thanks Mr. Oto, if you're ever back here holla! haha

Saving up for some rears and sides while tryna balance some coils and rims...Mission Impossible pretty much but I'll have something cooking for next summer if anything or I die trying lol

ed_423

haha thanks nate, i was trying to see a few things

1. what combination sides/rear would look good

2. if it has a "chin" look like the type s rep

5thTo2nd

this is going to look awesome with a drop and some rims

Mr. NC

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

Mr. NC

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?

5thTo2nd

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.

Mr. NC

Nah not rims just accessories and other useless overpriced products

Thanks for the info on the wheels and tires tho bro I'll keep those in mind.

That thread pitch thing had me all thanks for clearing that up

ed_423

wheels soon nate?

VortexBlueTSX

hahahahha Ya i know what you mean , good looks , i just looked at it actually, and its extremely close....it is a little different but nothing too major....putting it on after this bitch irene decides to leave my shores

Mr. NC

1st time washing it today with the lip, took some pics, don't mind the non waxed, non claybar, tire shine drippin sexiness HAHA









Ed this is a better sideview..hope it helps











The End

MrOtocinclus

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.

Mr. NC

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

ed_423

haha yeah "this thing needs a drop like a bad habit"

still seems like the paint on the lip doesnt match up the car to me

Mr. NC

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

Mr. NC

No new updates, saving up now

Took it out for pictures tho enjoi

ttk5

LIKE! great shots and your car is looking sick

MrOtocinclus

I love that spotlight effect, it really makes the front grill area stand out. A+!

ed_423

lip looks great


sick mazda.

tobwac

The front lip looks really good now drop her put some rims and you can roll like a boss

Mr. NC

Thanks for the love guys, all photog credits go to my boy, the owner of the Mazda 3

Saving up for coils + finishing off the body kit for next year

Rims are undecided atm...It will be 19's non staggered setup tho, offset (secccccret)

Mr. NC

NOOOOOOB Question






Bear with me





Wait for it



Where are the horns in the TSX? I was looking under the hood today and I could not find them...LOL

ttk5

i think its behind the grille

KillerG

OMFG you are dumb

how do you even remember to breathe in the morning

slowcl-s

iTrader: (1)

Despite your extremely undermining comment... Your signature is the funniest thing I've seen all week and couldn't be more true.

KillerG

its all in jest, i love mr. nc and the man he has become today

makes me proud that i share the grigio color with that guy

Mr. NC

Killer you know I haven't removed the bumper yet, I looked through the grille I was kinda expecting something round TBH, not that snail looking thing...is there 1 or 2 horns?

KillerG

1 snail each side i think. gl on first bumper remoaval...shits scary

Mr. NC

It will have to come off when that HT grille makes an appearance

Might DIY that or have some1 else do it, depending if I wanted to add some other stuff done as well

TSXKid2010

I thought you had VBP

I can confirm two horns on each side.

ed_423

2 horns

and you are not gonna remove bumper untill you get the grille?

hahahaha

Mr. NC

^ 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.
