A few snaps from via my iPhone







Lip spoiler is aftermarket as I originally had the wing spoiler but decided it had to go.

Wheels are of course just OEM 17" painted satin black. I have a thing for black wheels on white cars. Some/most/all of you may not like the look.

Cheers, David.

Looks nice! That Modulo Grille just looks so sexy. Painted OEM rims are not that bad. I also like the time-attack style

rsjapan

very good taste....!!!

Luchin

Wow! That looks amazing. PWP/black with Aero Kit was my first colour combo but the wife got PWP/tan so I had to settle for PMM/black with Aero Kit. Damn the white looks the best on this car IMO.

Very well done. And I love the Honda grill on the white as well.

We will be getting rid of one of our TSX's in about a year for an SUV. The more I see PWP with Aero Kit the more I think I will be driving a PWP SC TSX and the wife will be driving an SUV.

Even the wheels look good.

One of the top five on the forum for sure.

oooo i love the grill and the black wheels. nice!

wow I cant express how good that body kit looks. Every single day i regret not getting it included in my contract arghhh. But with the modulo grille your car is even sicker...and i also happen to be a lover of black wheels on white cars...

basically, you have one nice ride my friend that I am very jealous of

MrOtocinclus

Your car is beautiful. White was also my first choice and seeing yours makes me (almost) regret my decision to go grigio metallic!

CU2MIKE

i love it! your car's beautiful, and i think i may have to shell out the money for the oem sports kit and have my bodyshop do a real time reacing replica front (basically drill two extra hole and no foglights)
but damn im so broke right now, haha.

broke is my middle name

I LOVE white cars w/ black wheels. I wish I got pep instead looks hot

Many thanks for the positive comments guys.

I wouldn't get too hung up about not having white. I see pictures of your cars and think that the CU2 looks good in all colors.

Indecently the "sport" model here is an add-on that includes the full aero kit, Modulo grill and either the wing or lip spoiler. The slightly weird thing is they don't paint the horizontal bar in the grill unlike every other country that offers this grill and it looks unfinished. I ordered mine with it painted as an extra.

Cheers, David.

A better pic of the black OEM wheel:



One thing that bothered me with the aero front on my car is the way you can see under the lower lip and see all the various black clips and bolts against a white background, even without getting down and looking for them. It just looked messy so I used black tape to cover up the area behind the clips etc and now it is not noticeable. This is the before pic (I haven't taken one since it was done):



And just for fun a pic of the day she came home:



It still amazes me how the two simple cosmetic mods make such a difference.

nice ride!!

In Canada the Aero Kit also comes with either the wing spoiler or the lip spoiler. A least my dealer offered either or.

What is on the lower front of your door. Does that say Accord?

Removing the Accord emblem from the trunk might give it a finished look.

That actually says "sport" as part of the sport model sold here. It would probably look better without it.

I see what you meant. Browsing through the NZ Honda site, saw this in the gallery:

The horizontal bar does stay black

However, it's look pretty odd with a ducktail spoiler and a wing spoiler together ???

nzitr

Re the grill I'm not opposed to the blacked out grill look but the centre bar is just so large it just looked wrong to me. Especially up close.

That was either the ducktail or wing spoiler not both I just regretted my decision after a month or two.

SilverCU3

Tech, I think that's reflection under the wing. I don't think it's a spoiler ... is it?

SilverCU3

Here it is from a different angle:

09TSXTech

You are correct Silver, it's just a reflection.

Luchin

Silver also looks good on this car. No sunroof?!? Why we were not able to get the sunroof as an option escapes me. I hate sunroofs...

wow, the Honda grill looks a million times better than the Acura one

ed_423

whats wrong wtih sun roof?

09TSXTech

That's why I put one on myself.

Sunroof reduce headroom clearance. I would also prefer not to have a sunroof in order to get more headroom.

ed_423

^ahh i see. i dont mind it much, looks good to me when its tilted

nzitr

The color is almost titanium, I not sure it come through well in the shots.

That is the base spec car with the sport pack:

Cloth interior
No HID
No Sunroof
No Parking sensors
No auto lights
No auto Washers
No auto dimming mirror

Still it comes in a manual which is nice.

For me I wanted leather and HID so I got my first auto. To be honest it is ok but I drive in manual mode most of the time.

Looks awesome buddy. Nice grill too! In australia the sports grill is colour coded and i don't think i've ever seen the middle bar come black (unless its on a black car of course haha). Love the duck tail, might have to pick one up for mine one day.

BOOSTED09TSX

Looks great.

kowloonsniperhk

I love that white. As with the wing or lip spoiler, I like both. I wish we could have that peace interchangeable so on the days you feel like a lip, you switch to that and vice versa. how cool would that be. Just like Legos lol.

I think color matching the center looks better, you're right about the area being too big

born2blaze

Not bad with stock rims converted to black! Maybe I should think about it for my winter setup.

HeavyDuty

That really does look good. Shameless plug...I've been running black wheels since...198...nevermind.

Usually the black makes them look smallish, but that does look really good, grill is pure sexy simplicity.

madeguy76

Nice & clean bro. Just goes to show how a few smart/simple mods can go a long way. Keep up the good work.

side note...
Have you thought about goin' w/ the blacked out vinyl roof? Just might be the cherry on top, peace.

james_and7

love the look!

nzitr

Thanks man.. yeah I have definately thought about the blacked out vinyl roof. I'll give it some more thought!
