I thought I would share my progress with you guys, but mainly for me so I can see the changes that has happenend since I first got my TSX. Bought it in November and put it on the road in March. So far I am in love with this ride!
Let me know what you guys think.
progress is great so far! only thing I'm not feeling is the bra. how come you didn't consider a clear bra instead? and man.. those reverse lights must be bright as fuck lol
jdm front lip is rare and probably expensive af. it would be better to get the jdm type s replica front lip. also, I don't think there's a jdm rear lip.. you're looking for the type s rear bumper, which is the same design as the usdm special edition bumper.
Thanks for your input Xtcnriceim having ups and downs about the BRA... I do like the hood bra though since it will prevent the dings... I really did want a clear bra but couldnt find someone to install the film, and Ziebart wants to rape you with their 3m protective shield price.
the backup lights are really bright, i just wonder how HID in the reverse would look.
Yeah that front lip is a rep, and the rear is like an attachment piece onto your stock bumper to make it look like the jdm type s rear bumper. Some of these guys have (or had) the front rep lip... try asking around for more input on which one to buy and which one to stay away from. As for the rear... I'm personally not a fan of that ebay item. Not to knock on the guys on this board that have it, but it looks terrible IMO. The slots where the red reflectors go are like crooked and it just looks cheap. You get what you pay for.
Good luck, would love to see more. Oh and lol @ HIDs in the back. You should turn them on when a cop's trying to pull you over or something
You might want to contact body shops first to confirm that they'll install what you bring in. Many shops I've seen source the 3M clearbra themselves, and I'm not sure what kind of pricing they'll offer (if any) if you BYOBra lol.

your right this was the case with a place i talked to last month, they used their own material but charged close to 500 for half the hood, bumper and fender tips

thats cheap. here they charge at least 850+ for XPEL
for XPEL at least, they say using carnauba wax is a big contributor to the yellowing of shields. they advised on using synthetic wax if possible. a couple partners at work have had their shields for 5+ years and no yellowing.
im just worried that the color might change or the it dosnt hold up that good.
a clear bra im thinking would be a better option than your current black bra...those black bras hold moisture, and the paint under it wont fade at the same rate as the rest of the car
Latest updates: Ziebart undercarriage rust proof and clear protective film on the hood and fender tips. Looking into changing my DRL's in something that has a decent highbeam output.
The major mod i did was changed the headliner to Black suede, I must say the time it took me do the headliner was well worth it!

Whoa!!
Did you do that yourself? That's so clean! How did you get it done?
That headliner is a really nice touch.
Maybe a downpipe for a few more hp? or what about an upgraded sound system?
Where can a downpipe purchased? Also I wanted to add a touch screen DIN but it gets complicated with a tech TSX so i decided to leave it.. Might add a single wedge sub but not sure yet.
