Taking over my dads lease on his TSX next week so he can get a TL.

I've already got a few things planned but could use suggestion and some knowledge to make sure i get all the right parts so feel free to give me your opinion.

Im replaceing the stock subwoofer with a 8inch Alpine type R running off a 1000 watt Kenwood amp. Replacing the 6X9's with type R's also and im getting some tweeters.

Getting 20% tint all around with weather tech rain gaurds.

With the lights i want 6000K watt HID's and some PIAA yellow foggs. Where do i get the HID replacement bulbs.

Unfortunetly the lease is up in a year so im not doing Rims or lowering it until i buy it next year. Any other little suggestions i could add?

P.S. I got plenty of money from totalling my 2005 TL so price isnt an issue.

Also idk why i said 6000k watt HID's before, i know that make no sence, idk why i typed that hah

TSXy Luster

wow 18 years old with a totaled TL and getting a new TSX. Youths today are so lucky.


Also, are you related to KillerG?

1supafly

what color is it? I think 20% is too much for the front side windows..I would go for something lights in my opinion..

PyroDave

Did your 20% tints contribute to the TL being totaled? PS Stak, I'm 18 with a shiny TSX, but you know I payed for it and the mods hahaha

haha dave i never rag on you beyond the normal cuz you got a good head on your shoulders and you know how to search and are always willing to help op...doesn't seem like that? based on his 9 posts...meh who knows?

oh and you're only shiny on the left side

ceb

There's 18 and then there is 18...

This is the same kid that wants to put 10,000k bulbs in his ride and black out the tail lights.

He'll drive 10 feet at night and either run into something because he can't see it or he'll get pulled over, get his car impounded and post a thread about how mean the cops are or how badly other people drive.

I'm not sure why people want to make their cars look like they belong to a drug dealer in da hood - and then act all surprised when they get stopped.

Ah well, he'll probably just total this one like his other car. Hopefully he won't kill anybody.

ceb

Spoken like a true 18 year old.

Great picture thread too

MrOtocinclus

PyroDave is 18?!?! Could've fooled me! I thought you were an old man like me!

KillerG

Yeah hes young... Stak is into the nubiles

SpencerG_TSX

Theres no pictures cause my dads out of town with the car, they'll be up soon. And yeah i used to doing all the little kid stuff cause i am still only 18 but thats why im asking for opinions so i can keep it looking nice.

SpencerG_TSX

And its that grey color with black interior. Has anyone else had problems with there auto windows not working with the weather tech rain gaurds

mrstak

iTrader: (1)

if you want to keep it looking nice, don't change the low beam bulbs. and just cuz you're 18 doesn't mean you HAVE to do all the "little kid" stuff like ricing the shit out of this nice car that your dad gave you.

as for teh auto windows, there's something u gotta do with the switch...like holding it up for 5 seconds with the key on On (II) or something. search the forum...the answer is posted somewhere. and by "search teh forum" i don't mean make another thread somewhere else...

ed_423

i have 23% tint in the front and 17% in the back. IMO anything below 23 is too dark

PyroDave

Fuck. You.

yes im 18, no i don't look it(last time i was IDed was over a year ago lmfao), and i also dont really act it, atleast i try not to. im immature at times, but its all in jest =)

tobwac

hahahaha i almost died when i read this post not making fun of you MrOto but can't really imagine Dave at 18 lol

So now being serious you have TSX so do all the mods correctly the first time so people can turn their heads and be like "damm what a great looking car" and dont let people think "ohh another ricer on the block"

ceb

True - next thing you know, you'll be an old fart like me.

ceb

There comes a point where you start valuing function over form. Before that, we're all into "ohhh, that's so cool looking" but after a while you actually want to be able to see and you come to realize that those blue/purple lights just make your car look tacky and scream "look at me, I'm someone whose brain hasn't completely formed yet."

The TSX has one of the absolute best headlighting assemblies built. It is far better that lights from BMW, Mercedes or Audi and it pains me to see someone butchering them.

SpencerG_TSX

Yeah i need to stop posting other threads, i just registered the other day and didnt know how this hole thing worked but im getting the hang of it. And yeah the ricer look is what im trying to avoid so these are all good suggestions. Im going to search it too but does anyone know if theres an aux port in the back of the radio before i take it out to look, i need to be able to plug my ipod in.

ceb

Did you read your owner's manual?

BaoZZeR

I don't want to read all this stuff I want to see pictures!

You might wanna read your manual. In fact, once your dad comes back with the car, go into the glove box, take out the manual and read it. DEAD SERIOUS.

BUT I'm feeling nice right now since it's friday and I'm about to leave work so I'll answer your question ahead of time.

Check the middle compartment. You see that cord that ends in a female USB port? That's your auxiliary port. Connect the USB to iPod wire to that port, connect said iPod to the wire and voila...iPod goodness via your aux.

you're obviously in the wrong forum and thread. this is not the photograph gallery...

ceb

Can you also tell him how to run wires from his battery to his headlights to make them work? Wait - he has a light switch for that - just like there is a supplied iPod/aux input.

mrstak

fyi, you can also look at the acura website and watch all the videos on the features of the TSX. really informative.

mrstak

iTrader: (1)

should i teach him how to drive too? start the car? open the trunk? walk across the street?!?!?

Mods, you can go ahead and delete this thread. It was an unanimous decision by ALL of the other forum members. Thanks in advance...

SpencerG_TSX

I figured i could come on here and ask questions, didnt realize everyone would such dicks. I appriciate the help from the few that did.

ceb

Spence - you only got all that grief because you came here wanting to turn your luxury car into a ten year old Civic owned by a spoiled 16 year old brat (or an inner city drug dealer)

Then, you compounded the issue by wanting to yank out the radio to hook up your iPod indicating that you had not bothered to do the least bit of research.

Here is the proper procedure:

Read the manual. If the answer isn't there, then;
Search the forum. If the answer isn't there, then;
Ask on the forum.

Here is my suggestion for modding your car:

Drive the car stock for a while. Use that time to decide what you think is lacking on the car and research proposed mods. I'm sure you'll survive the ribbing you'll get from your friends for driving a "stock" car.

SpencerG_TSX

True, i just havnt had the time to look into the car cause im not driving it yet. And just an FYI for everyone im not a drug dealer or spoiled, im taking over the payments every month i just have a good job for an 18 year old.

but ceb thats good advice with the manual and everything. thanks

KillerG

Your welcome here, but we like to give each other shit and make ed's mom jokes. Hang around and definitely look up old threads and feel free to ask for anything that you cant find an answer to.

Sometimes we get new users who do nothing but ask the same redundant questions that have been answered so many times over,

age is only a number, just be a bro and ur good to go

Look in the photograph gallery and find some nice TSX's that you like. Thats a great starting point for beginners. Find a TSX that you wish yours looked like and adopt a similar style.

Stylinhonda

Please don't get your hands on a can of Plasti Dip! People are going a bit overboard with the stuff.

wonder who you could be talking about...pyrodave...

TSXy Luster

According to US law, 18 is no longer a minor, and no longer a kid so that excuse is just invalid. You want to be silly, just admit to it and not have excuses.

And then own up to the consequences later because of it.



You don't NEED to be driving it yet to research the car. Acura.com has all the manuals for the TSX that you can start reading...........now.


Also 93% of the grief you are getting is because you posted in the photograph thread with no pictures in it. Might as well have posted in the main sub-forum with tons of pictures of your soon to be mods.
