Installing my coils with my buddy on Thursday then got appointment for fender roll and pull and camber install on Monday. So yes! I will be having lots of fun. I am also going to bake my headlights but im so nervous about not being able to seal it up to factory state. I dont want any leaks or condensation.

I was posted in here like 1-2 weeks ago but that day AZ was stuffing up so my post didn't go through and I gave up!
Anyways, I was meant to say glad you chose to stick to the TSX and stay here on the forums! I love the interior but I'm not feeling the stock rims as most of you might love them :P
What're your plans for the other wheels laying around your house??

Hey
My TSX is stock with accessory wheels. Nothing fancy like yours
When the weather is better here we def need to shoot some photos! BTW are you selling your parts from your old car? I am interested in the exhaust tips you had on before.
See ya.

Hey! we should totally have a shoot sometime yea. Are you the black 09 TSX with blacked our grille and type-s front lip? I saw a tsx with those mods driving through port moody the other week.

Got around to baking my headlights yesterday, plastidipping fog light housing, plastidipping fog light covers and installing LED switch back turn signals. Right now the switchbacks are 6000K so they are much bluer than my OEM low beams. Thus, I think I will change my low beam HID bulbs to 6000k to match.
Right now my switchbacks are hyperflashing and I have the resistors to resolve this. But as kowloonsniperhk did, I will try letting them blink for 10mins first to see if that solves it. Overall, I am incredibly happy with the results and learned a lot from the project. Baking headlights is not necessarily hard, but requires a lot of patience and a very meticulous mindset the whole way through. Just these pics for now

TTK STAY WINNING!
Nice car bro.
Those wheels are amazing for a stock wheel though, but the two tone kinda throws it off.
Glad you're staying with the CU2 family though!
Go post more in crew HQ O; LOL.

Thanks tsxkid. I know, thats how i felt about the 2 tone as well. Still a nice oem wheel though i guess.
tobwac: I thought about that too..i almost tried it actually but couldnt totally convince myself to commit.
Heres a small before and after

nice job!! And some people on here are afraid to drive their tsx from Nocal to Socal w/out getting a rock chip yet here you are tearing it apart. Well done. BTW, what's up with the fender where it meets the bumper. On the pic it looks like the corners of the fenders right where it meets the bumper cover are bent inwards......

I think kowloon just has a special TSX. My leds won't hyperflash for the first 2 seconds but then gets excited and starts strobing like a night club.

hondaboy: i sold my oem wheels. I think the specs were like 18 x7.5 +50? Just google honda delta wheel and im sure you can find out.
Here are a few pics from a car meet yesterday. Last 2 ones were not taken by me, obviously.

thanks man..but honestly i dont really think my car looks that good. it looks too plain and thus the wheels make it seem like my car is trying too hard. I really need to do some more work to bring it up to my standard.
I have my old custom exhaust lying in my garage. I figure i will measure the piping and purchase some pre-mandrel bent pipes that are made in bulk. Then just get some mufflers and weld everything together. I will make a thread when I get around to it to share the dimensions of the exhaust so people can buy the same universal piping and weld together a custom exhaust. I am also waiting on an insurance refund to purchase the rv5 downpipe and test pipe.
