I don't always attend, but I might to support my friend. He's the owner of r2-restaurant. Also, I believe you go to carshop as well? Don't worry , not stalking you, just read a lot. Lol

In regards to DTM, they're an awesome shop. Great service and quality; however, they're not the cheapest shop in town. The whole setup including the exhaust tips, mufflers and labor was about $950-1k.

no links to the ArtCarbon products. I am working with the owner to develop the products right now. If any of you are interested, please let me know. I would like to eventually start a group buy for the grille/fog lights and if you are pleased with their work, we can proceed with group buys for the CF Door Pillars/Roof Spoiler/Splitter and Rear Diffuser.

Art Carbon...they tryna get that group buy going on TSX CLub right? I woulda been down if I saw molds down before I dropped cash money.

Having said that

Welcome to the forums. I've always liked the VIP style, much to the disgust of some forum members here LOL, I'm curious to see how you get the TSX going in that direction.

thank you for the warm welcome everyone.

SlickxAc - yeah, you probably did. I was going in and out of pro-tint that day.

Mr. NC - molds will be provided momentarily, been busy with school. everything is in the works, ideas and such. i would be more than happy to provide it when available. secondly, i definitely plan make this one stunning Vip'd out tsx. just a matter of time and money.

Update: just ordered some JP parts (neck pad/seat pad).

Next big mod -

Downpipe
High Flow Cat
Resize - Piping
Injen CAI
