TSX lowered on Tein HTech - Different angles.

I forgot my DSLR in Vancouver so I had to take these with my iPhone. Still, the quality is not too bad.

I will be creating a photo album when I get back from the meet in Seattle on the 13th.

I still haven't had it aligned because I wanted to wait a few weeks to give the springs time to settle.

I don't notice a difference in height since the day I picked it up but I see it everyday so if you think it looks lower, it may be a good time to have the alignment done.

Acuraville. Two TSXs in the driveway, and an RDX in the garage. I'm not feeling the door window visors, though. They interrupt the chrome lines which, imo, give the car a more sophisticated vibe.

probably the nicest tsx i have seen to date. minus the door visors. you should black out the rest of the chrome around the doors. or take the visors off.

Thanks for the feedback. The visors will be coming off this week. I concure that they don't look. They give the car a completely different look and 'feel'.

The TSX's are FTW but I am not at all impressed with the RDX. It just feels wrong. I can't explain it but the gear ratios don't allow, IMO, for efficient power delivery.

Looks amazing! Very clean! Those visor just aren't growing on me... Clashes to much with the rest of your ride. Still, very clean.

Arcticcl9, you may wish to look at another member 09TSX who has the PWP with full aero package. It looks really nice in your colour.

That's very schweet looking, even has the side skirts and spoiler! I'm going to get the front aero bumper once I "accidentally" damage the front bumper.

DarewoodEE observed the same thing. I think it's just the angle though. I was out today and looked at the car from the side just like the first photo I took. Looks the same. I will take another photo tomorrow at the same spot and post it. You can all let me know.

Yeah the place really is heaven on earth. I wish I could say it's our place but it isn't, it belongs to my mother in law. That said, we are there more then we are at our own house.

No we live half way between the ferry terminal and downtown in an area called Broadmead just off the Royal Oak exit.

Yeah I opted for the entire Aero Kit when I purchased the car. It also came with the side skirts. Finishes the car IMO. I was going to get the Aero Kit for the wifes PWP but knew I would be too jealous to deal with it. My first colour choice was PWP/ebony but when she got PWP/tan I thought two PWP TSX's would be a little much.

I don't have any performance goodies on my car so I'm not sure a dyno run would do anything but satisfy curiosity but what the h*%#. Keeping my fingers crossed you will have your car...

Wheels, tires and TPMS sensors came to $3,700.00 CAD, all in. The sensors were $276.00 from Acura. So substract that plus the tax, 12%, if you want the cost of just the wheels and tires. I'll look at the actual costs later today and let you know.

Very nice car man I have the same Grigio with ebony interior, and I have added the sunroof visor, door visors (which i like and think you should keep on your ride since no one has them) door edge gaurds, mud gaurds, wheel locks, trunk rubber liner, and rear deck spoiler same as yours. The next mod will be the oem dash trim kit, and takeda cold air intake. I am attempting to keep everything as factory as possible and have been looking at the HFP 19" rims ( Honda Factory Performance ). By any chance does anyone know of a site I could view front lips spoilers for the 2g tsx, I dont have enough cash for the whole aero kit.

Wow. . .

Those wheels are far too big.

What's with the rain guards on the windows? That ruins the whole thing.

I have the interior trim kit as well which I think looks much better on dark interior colours. I will most likely pick up my Takeda Intake this weekend. It runs about $345 CAD up here. I'm on the fence about the window visors though. I'm not sure I like the look.

I think.. if you blacked out your window trim, and had the visors, they'd look 120320130210312x better.
