aiight guys finally back at her not to much done to her i only installed a couple parts that i gather for the past 2 weeks
1) was the p2r tbs easy install took me about 30mns
2) then 2 weeks ago i went to a local acura meet( only 4 2nd gen tsx ) and found some guy that was selling a bnib injen i didn't really need it since have the CTE but for the price why not i could always resale it later it also come with a manifold cover
injen installed after 45 mns
i took it for test drive i gotta say i really like it sounds pretty nice when i stepped on it
i also got rid of the stock battery tie down and replaced it with something else more appealing
then i replaced the im cover also
with this i dont want no painting on my bay so ima keep it all chrome and polish
i like alot
then it was time to stretch a legs i kinda went easy on her since she is still below 2k
crappy vid i took with my cell i wasn't on full throttle but i had a nice pull around the 5rpm and up

Wow, this is a great thread. Excellent job on the car!
Are you still interested in the Mugen grille? The one that was pictured requires the '09/'10 bumper and won't fit the SE. Of course, if you're planning to get the entire bumper, that's a moot point.
Looking forward to more mods!

^^thanks man but i didn't get ur question
anyway i removed the fog housing to color match them with the car and i gotta say the outcome was pretty nice for those interested on that mod the bumper has to come out and the fog assembly has to come out since the fog cover is being held by 3 screws
then i took them to work to prep them prior painting (I'M a painter)
I then used 3m scotch brite(silver) then clean them with prepsol then applied a nice coat of adhesion promoter so the paint sticks
after letting the bulldog dry for a good 5 mns i then applied 3 coats of CBP base
then 2 coats of clear using my iwata w400
and the outcome people wouldnt probably notice but i like of the front end looks right now door handles are next
what ya'll think about the housing painted?

thanks man, i got bored too thats how i ended up doing mine

looks amazing, i agree a black chrome wouldve provided the perfect blend of contrast yet unity though. but paintmatched looks great.
just an FYI, you can use your GLM spray over the plasti, and it will still peel off the same as regular plasti. shoot me a PM if you need help so we dont derail this

Yeah, I just liked the way it looked... "batmanish." Silver fogs drew your attention, basically helped in making someone view the entire front end, and not stop at the grille and headlights. If that make sense lol
