Please allow me to introduce myself...

My name is Humpty.... Juss Kiddin'. So I bought my 2010 PWP TSX 6 Speed M/T about 3 weeks ago and I FUCKING love it. Bout it with 6,700 miles, out the door for $29,500 (maybe a bit high but try to find a M/T PWP TSX... Good Luck and GodSpeed).

I just got my rims put on yesterday and welcome any thoughts. I am really happy with them, so happy I don't have to look at those FUGLY stock 17's anymore!

Rims are Falken RT-7M 18" with Yokohama Tires. Let me know what you guys think... don't mind the dirty car, waiting for the damn sun to come out so I can go give it a bath.

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas

I got my wife a 2010 TL tech package with with OEM bodylkit and SH-AWD rims. I fell in love with Acura.

Man, I am so tempted to drop, but just 1" if at all. Main concern is I live in the midwest (Chicago Burbs) and roads suck due to winter, and also cuz I got the JDM lip kit on the way and dont want to be scrapin and shit. I was SOOO tempted to go for the Mugen kit, but Fuck it, I will see how I like the lip kit.

If I go 1", all I need is springs, right?

I also got my Black polished Injen intake on the way, lip spoiler (OEM style), and working with HeelToe on my Legalis Exhaust, but I am too damn impatient to wait 60 days.... Gonna try to work with a shop on a custom one and if all else fails, I will pull the trigger on the Legalis.

I will keep you all posted. Again, thanks for the welcome, hope to add some colorful commentary during my stay here .

yeah, you want eibach pro kit, its 1" all around, also consider h&r springs which are very very subtle and only like 1.3/1.1 or something. Its good without going too low

let us know how the exhaust goes, and hook us up with with richies new piece

Thanks KillerG... You know anyone with the Eibach Pro kit? Does it impact factory ride for better or worse?

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the forum. I like the rims.

Funny thing with your thread title, Kowloonsniperhk thought about JayZ, myself being a bit older immediately think of Rolling Stones Sympathy with the Devil:

Please allow me to introduce myself

im young despite being old in comparison to the justin bieber generation lol. I felt old when a couple days ago, my next door neighbor's children (I think they are like in 5th grade or somethin) were playing. I asked them whether or not they knew what a floppy disk was, and they had no idea lol

we have an intern at work that didn't know what "married with children" was...
shoot me.

PS...I thought Jay Z too...although I know Rolling Stones well.

Great start, man...those wheels go perfectly with the car. Go H&R...they are a solid spring and give a nice stance IMO. You may get a few less miles out of your stock shocks but I wouldn't let that deter you. Did you mod your door handles?!
