In this thread I will post my modifications as I go.
I've got a lot planned and I've done a quite a few things so far but for now I will post my recent mods and a few pics of the way it sits today.

I really like the headlights and rear bumper.

Post a side pic so we can get a better look at how the wheels look on the car.

Thanks, the enginebay looks different because of the v6 enginecovers I installed today. Other than that it's a R20 engine which Acura doesn't carry for the TSX.

Nice interior, looks clean without the 300 buttons you see on the TSX

About that wooden stick, are are you looking to fabricate some sort of hydraulic lift?

Looks great! How complicated was the Kenwood install? Does your Euro accord have integrated bluetooth phone capabilities and were you able to retain that through the install of the Kenwood deck?

Nice setup!

They use 2 hood dampners

Yup I'm sill figuring out how to properly fit the 2 dampners. Welding would be a problem because that would make me loose my warranty regarding rust etc.

Nice setup!
The Kenwood was supposed to be plug and play but they didn't mention it wasn't for an executive model which has the subwoofer.
The speakers for instance had to be rewired.
The bluetooth controls on my steeringwheel become useless but the built in bluetooth kit the headunit comes with makes up for it.

Thanks Mugen! That's great to know -- I'm hoping your audio sounds fantastic!

looks great did the v6 engine covers fit without any problems , even though I love the r20 it does look like shit in my opinion, I love the look of many if not most Honda motors but this one just doesn´t do it for me in the looks department and those covers make it somehow look better just by cleaning up the bay

Yup, the biggest downside is they don't make any aftermarket airintakes for them so I'll have to fabricate my own using the bottompart of the Takeda cai.

The audio sounds great and there are so much settings I can play with to make it even better.

The covers have to trimmed down on 2 points which is some minor modification other than that they fit perfectly.
The R20 was good enough for me since it produces enough power and even though the k24 has more power it will never be meant as a racecar as I purely drive it because of the great ride and the luxury in it and spending another 7000 Euro to get the bigger engine wasn't justified IMO.

Good news, just got an email from Heeltoe saying my Tein flex order is completed so they should be here in a few weeks.
Also did the front spoilers ( OEM Honda ) arrive wich were back ordered till late June ever since I ordered them in March.
But the parts I'm looking forward to most are the Spiror LED taillights of which I finally could the partnumbers of.

So after driving the 2013 tsx I was hooked on how it drive. I like it more than the v6 version. After doing some research I came accross some interesting upgrades like adding the accord type s front lip and adding the type s skirts.Also I found that the Honda spirior has led tails which I love. And also adding the double din which is a plus. I really love those headlight and the rear bumper. Even tho I still don't own the car I would still like to know how can I get a hold of these parts. It seems that the rear bumper is hard to find can any help me on getting any of these parts.

That Kenwood deck is a clean install - do you still have your upper display unit working as well? Is your climate control temperature displayed anywhere?

Those headlights are mint as well. Putting together a nice package for sure!
