what costs go into buying a roof rack? is it just the rack and thats it? How much are did you pay for yours tobwac if you dont mind me asking

tobwac

It really depends what you want to carry on brand new rock with locks and mountings can cost you 350 plus accessories. I actually bought mine of craigslist it was used but in very good condition and I paid 200 for roof rack and two bike rocks make sure you get wind fairing because it really helps to reduce noise plus it looks more aggressive with it

samace_sg

Car looks awesome.. I think I saw it at the Menlo meet... didn't have roof rack on tho... What are the specs on that Yakima... interested in getting one..

tobwac

Yes I was there took the rack of because the weather was getting to cold to go biking lol rack will be back on the car when it will be time to go skiing
Yakima Q Towers
Q clips
42" crossbars
38" fairing

I probably asked you this before but tobwac is your type s kit the real deal or a rep?

samace_sg

Any issues installing the crossbars.. seems short

I believe Yakima recommends 58"

tobwac

No problems at all
The reason why I choose those was that i didnt want the bars to stick out on the sides

tobwac

its the replica

T-jay

Roof rack looks good I might scoop one up

PyroDave

theres actually a shitload of us in north jersey. atleast a dozen to two dozen of us. even closer to 50 if we include the new yorkers.... i have a few friends at bcc, i mean South Paramus Institute of Technology . probably close to 100 actually. and a few friends at monmouth. you know a tyler with a jeep wrangler?

Puppetmaster

I think it's actually 48" from Yakima and 50" from Thule. The recommended length for midsized SUVs is 58", I know for sure because I have 58" cross bars from Thule that were on my Pilot and now MDX, point being those are gonna stick out big time on a TSX.

tobwac

This is why I went with the short ones wanted to make the rack look slick

Im more in the central jersey

PyroDave

close enough. i got to asbury park yesterday in less than an hour. though i did hit 115 at one point hahahaha

tobwac

Sync I didnt sell my rims I thought about changing the color of them powdercoat them to get some kind of new look to the car but I need help what color should I do it any help appreciate

also if any of you guys can do photoshop it would be even better

personally i was thinking of some kind of bronze color but will consider other too

npathak

just quickly did a color.

i had a quick question, my tsx is all stock, and i want to lower it.
how much were your springs?
im not a fan of a huge drop, i was looking for a slight drop but noticeable.

tobwac

thanks the second picture with the orange rims actually looks really interesting
about the springs i got them for 150 brand new but getting coils soon wanna go lower but nothing crazy

ed_423

if you do orange do the side mirror too

I've heard mixed opinions on the Eibachs. I had them on my TL for a day and hated them. The rear was lower than the front which looked like crap. Then again some people love them. It's hit or miss I guess

tobwac

I need to find someone that can do few photoshops but I like the idea with rims and mirrors being paint match

I have no problems with them so far really like how the car drives after i got them

tobwac

Im in a market for some new shoes for my car saw really nice set on CL and meet up with that guy for a test fit here are the results
what do you guys think
i know that my car needs to be lowered more( i already took care of that)
any comment appreciate

Do it!

Norm24

Wheels are awesome! You might need a roll and a pull to make it look right though, and of course, moar low!

swarlos

Damn those tires are stretched! They look awesome though! Roll, pull, slam and camber

tobwac

wheels are awesome one of my favorite right now

i think a roll will be enough and as i mention before already took care of that and order some coils

ed_423

heres my honest opinion

1. wheels are freaken sweet! love it

2. i agree, a bit more low will def give it a finishing touch

3. the whole stretch tire thing isnt my thing, maybe it looks off now because there's still a wheel gap, but that's just me

i hope you do it bro! sick wheels.

John-E

I am really liking these wheels right here, The lips is the right mind that I have too. I would really like to see it tucked and cambered. that would be really cool

tobwac

im so tempted but i have to sell my rims first dont wont to be stuck with 2 sets of rims as far as the the stretch thats the only way i can fit those they are pretty aggressive

cant go wrong with SSR
only time will show if i go crazy and try to get those fit

John-E

Hey, is your lowered kit still the Eibach pro kit? How much is it lowered and how does the ride feel? camber issues? Sorry for bombarding with these question but im stoked about your setup now that i went back in look at the previous pages. Loved teh EXE wheels too. I want those!

tobwac

yes still on eibach honestly i really like the way car drives now never got camber kit just went to adjust the toe and thats it the drop is a little more then an inch the wheels are actually for sale

John-E

Very nice man...And you cant beat 150 for springs set. Im looking into these now. How much are selling them for? Your from the west coast and i live way on the east coast...the wheels shipping is gonna be $$$ but its just the wheels right?

tobwac

I live in east coast. I want to sell rims/tires combo and yeah shipping will be a lot like 200-250

John-E

Msg me the price
