10/2/10 painted and on the car!



10/9/10 first photoshoot!







coming soon:
coilovers
exhaust tips
wheels (later on)

 

Very nice Rawesome.

Have you decided on the side skirts? Fixing the one that came with the kit or getting the OEM sports one.

 

i've actually put them on Sunday, the day after i did a photoshoot, it doesn't look all that bad, but the fitment could be better. i'll post more pictures when i can

 

Very nice car!

 

love the rear

hey i just noticed your kit is primered black. mine came in as grey. so its probably from a different manufacturer. hopefully i can get it painted this weekend.

 

i want
where did you get yours

 

for those of you with the real lip, how does this comapre to the real one? does this one stick out more? or does it seems to be pretty spot on with the original?

 

I would say the front lip is pretty much spot on compare to my OEM one. It's a bit more stick out, but we are talking about millimeters here.

 

Nice. I just noticed you could put some LED lights into the spot right below the foglights.

 

Looking good Rawesome! I was waiting for an update to this project. Gotta get some rims now!

 

Front lip looks so good man! But I honestly am not a fan of the rear lip. Car's gonna look better and better though im sure

 

The kit looks really good dude but the added bulk now makes your 17 inch tires and rims look too small for the car!

You need to supersize your shoes now!

 

^ That's on his to do list.

 

Nice! Is that the one they are selling on ebay?
There is a guy in florida selling a set of Work Varianza T1S in 19x8.5/19x9.5 for $1000, you should look into it.

Love your photos, the rear bumper actually looks pretty good in a real photo compared with a stock photo.

 

Looks like some residue is left over from when you debadged the "Acura" logo. Goo-gone can help with that.

Car looks great!

Looking forward to seeing it with wheels+drop.

 

ahh ok thanks tech. nice new picture btw.
and yeah, i thgouht it seemed a bit mroe stick out than urs, but wasnt sure lol

 

Thanks for all the comments guys!

there's a vendor on ebay, here's the link:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-...Q5fAccessories

nah, i don't want to overdo the car, just trying to keep it nice and simple.

thanks bro! i'm sure too

rims are going to have to wait, i've decided to get coilovers first.

thanks!

my kit wasn't even primered, i'm sure the ebay kit would fit much better than mine. did you kit come with 3m tape and everything already?

if i were to take close up pictures, you'll see the dramatic difference in fitment, i bet the OEM kit has no gaps what-so-ever. theres a few gaps in mine. question, does your front lip actually have those 2 holes?

yupp! planning on getting either 19s or 20s keeping my options open

you sir have good taste! i LOVE these wheels, just wish they were bigger. i'll be saving up for coilovers first then wheels later on, great find though!

thanks! i just need to wait to wet sand and buff out the kit now

thanks bro! thats not actually residue, when i took off the emblems, i noticed that they clearcoated the trunk WITH the emblems on, thats clearcoat chip not the gooey 3M

i'm pretty sure the sides of my front lip stick out a bit more than 09TSXTech's

 

Thanks, this is the larger size one taken at the parking stall at work.



Rawesome:

Yes those 2 holes are on my lip too, but you are right, there's absolutely no gap on mine, came with six clips and bolts for the centre, 4 self tapping screws to the fender and double-sided tapes all around.

Here's a side view with the OEM side skirts.

 

i think the front of rawsome's lip stick out a bit more, which isnt reli a bad thing actually. the oem ones are more subtle while the replica is a more noticeable one.

now what im more concern about is that, rawesome u stated that there are gaps?? would u mind taking picture of the gap or describing them? although i think it looks good...i dont think i want the gap.

 

yes it came with 3m tape and mounting tabs. i just have to supply the tapping screws

 

oem side skirts look cleaner than the type s

 

looks sweet, i love the back lip

 

^I agree.

Great looking TSX! I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have planned for it

officially dumped.

 

Super clean bro..

 

thanks bro, planning on lowering the rears more tomorrow

 

wow, looks awesome rawesome. LOl. need detail review on those coils right now!

any plans on wheels?

 

wow thats a nice drop

 

Oh that is badass!

 

thanks for the comments guys.

the coils are way better than our stock suspension. its a bumpy ride, but most of the time it's a lot smoother than OEM. love the upgrade. we'll see how it holds in a couple of months

as for wheels, saving for college funds > wheels, but i have a feeling i'll eventually do it, just not anytime soon

 

Gaawwwdddddd that's low

 

not a fan of the sideskirt, dont konw why if its jsut the pic or what, doesnt seem to flow IMO. i think that only means one thing...

moar pics

 

+1 yeah you got any more close-ups of the sides? How's the fitment on those? I'm still thinking I might pick up this kit.

 

awesome

how do you know that its an exact fit?

thanks for pioneering!

 

Damn, loving the drop! Can I ask what you dropped them on and how much did it drop for the front and rears?

 

thanks for all the comments guys!

i was too lazy to work on my rears but hopefully soon.

as for pictures, i'm planning on washing it tomorrow so if anything i'll take a few pictures after since you guys wanna see the fitment and all. i rushed putting on the sideskirts but it definitely has potential to fit better if i put in work to make it fit lol

i know its an exact fit cause i installed it and there weren't any complications/modifications you needed to do on the coilovers. it was just a semi-difficult plug and play.

i got a deal for my brand new d2 coilovers, $800. and install was free cause i did it myself with a friend's assistance ;P

 

dude, your ride is pretty sick. I am jelly

Do you have an aftermarket exhaust or those are just longer tips???
