Current modifications:

TSX V6 lower grille



Next mod(s):
TSX rear decklid spoiler (coming soon)

Enjoy!

**Update**

...the decklid is in!




A little rainy out, but here it is installed on my ride:



I had a local body shop perform the install and it turned out great! The decklid spoiler definitely finishes the look of the SEs. This part should have came with the SEs from the factory!

Looks good! I agree on the TSX coming standard with some kind of wing. It's nice that they actually offer a few factory body kit options for the 2G. I actually like the look of the wing spoiler and considered getting one for my 2012 SE but the install looked a little complicated with the wiring for the 3rd brake light and I was apprehensive about drilling holes in the trunk.

Yeah, the drilling always bothers people haha. Since I plan to keep this spoiler on the car until the wheels fall off, it didn't hurt me to use the drill method upon installation.

Do you happen to have a link to where you got the spoiler? Thinking about getting one for mine.

I got mine from Bernardi Acura under the Accessories section. They're quite pricey, so I didn't have much choice at the time. They also recommend you to use a tool for proper hole alignment (if you plan doing the drill method for installation and there is a separate part number for this). Here's the link below:

Yikes. They are pricey. But I have seen those on other Acura sites. I've seen some Amazon and Ebay offers as well, but am afraid of quality over OEM. Id like to get it and paint it high gloss black. Think it will contrast nicely with my white CU2.

I'm pretty sure there are others on here that opted for the aftermarket counterpart with no issues (with fitment etc.). If OEM is your thing, the search for a decent price will be painful haha. My cousin was very fortunate to find his OEM decklid spoiler on eBay for half the price (he has a silver 2012 SE). Lucky son of a gun lol smh.

New OEM plus upgrade: optional S2000 titanium shift knob





Figured it would be a nice match with the "fake" metal trim along the dash/center console

After a long hiatus, the exhaust is finally in!


A sneak peek at the beautiful welds:




Can't wait to have this system installed. Stay tuned for updates

Random side shot, because why not? (car's a little dirty though )


Overall take:
I haven't really pushed the car (WOT) since the install, but so far, the Legalis-R provides a nice deep tone with no rasp, nor any drone during freeway driving. It is on the quiet side of the spectrum, which is what I was looking for. The welds are beautiful, the fitment is on point and the overall quality is top notch. Definitely worth the pick-up in my opinion
