My Polished Metal Metallic 09 TSX
Here are some pics of my 09 TSX. The only mods I've made is a set of 25mm wheels spacer and a 6000k HID kit.
Can't wait to drop my ride!!!

Three Wheelin'
Looks good...I caution the use of wheels spacers though...years ago I put spacers on a few of my vehicles and eventually the lugs became stripped from the added pressure of 1) less thread and 2) extended weight on the lug. I'm assuming you're using basic metal plate spacers like the ones below.
Also, unless they were added precisely on the hub (which is almost impossible given vertical mounting), you're going to have vibration creep in at higher speeds.
If you're not using metal plate spacers but the adapter/spacer kind with new lugs, those are even more dangerous (lug strength, added weight per wheel/axle, etc.).
Your car looks great, I just caution on using spacers...been there, done that...

Awesome looking car and amazing quality pictures! What kind of camera did you use?? My poor little 7 year old 4.0 megapixel camera is sooo jealous. And now I feel guilty for not washing my car today!!!

newplay1....Really?! I agree the anle that the picture was taken its not the nicest view of the spoiler however, I think this years spoiler is far superior than previous years...closer to that of the TL...flatter on the car rather than raised too much. I think its classier than some 'pimped' spoiler that some poeple deck their cars...

newplay....You should go check out a TSX with an aerokit with the wing on it, you will be impressed. I had one on my 06 and this years integration of the wing spoiler is better executed, flatter so not as big of a space between the spoiler and the trunk itself. Very similar to the 3rd generation (current) of the TL. As far as the 1 2 3 4 5 showing on the display, it do show it on my auto....
