Few questions:

1. Tire size?
2. Suspension?
3. Did the calipers work out?

Last question I promise lol. BaysonR sold you the lip and you didnt have to work at it to make it fit? It was straight plug and play? Did you just use 3M tape? or drill holes?
It fit perfectly fine for me, no issues. I used 3M tape and it came with OE style brackets where they screw in below the bumper just as the OEM part would, lined up with dimples on bumper

I think it is looking darker I thought it was the lighting went outside to look and it does look darker, a little bit more obvious in shade than sunlight

^^^ check the SS brake lines from XLR8....they are cheaper and work wonders....

PS: i dont know if they have for the TSX, am almost sure they do....

EDIT: no problem about not saying anything bro....its all good....i just want you to dig for the answer when it was right in front of you

here is the thread with all the list needed for the non BBK TL to a BBK TL conversion....i bet its pretty much the same for the TSX
