VirusX39 TSX Progress

So.. I rarely have time to take pics and get things done to the car so this will probably take some time before the car is completely finished.

First things first.. The pic of when I first got her about a month ago.





And today.. I just got 15% Tints all around.

I'm thinking replace the fogs, interior lights, license plate lights. I know I am going to get the VB3 wheels (the ones that have to be redrilled), but it wont be until the summer most likely. I really am trying to figure out what to do about the center console (audio/car pc maybe?).

Are the ion yellow fogs brighter? I can barely notice the stock ones are even there when I have them on.

The purpose of foglights is to illuminate the area directly in ftont of and to the side of the car. Our foglights do that very well. Changing the bulbs will have a detrimental effect on your visibility in fog.

We don't get very much fog where I am, maybe once or twice a year and its not even that bad. I really would be changing them out for the look.

I saw some pics on the forum where the middle-most part of the headlight (the big circular part) was lit up with an LED when the actual headlights are off. It looked like a really clean job. I can't seem to find the pics of it on the forums anymore and don't remember who did it. I would like to try something like that also but I really dread putting my headlights in an oven

I actually think it's your TSX Vortex! Can you give me a night shot of your headlights? Headlights off, I think its yours that has that glow in the middle.

Oh and most likely getting remote start on my 6spd Manual =)

i agree. the PIAA fogs are way better in regards to light output. and way better looking!

They do look pretty bright, what do you guys think of a whiter color? Personally I am not a fan of yellow. I kind of would like to have matching lights all around.

I will def keep that in mind. I will have 1 week off after the 23rd because I will be starting a new job in April, so I definitely want to get something done in that week.

Will do, I def like the way FlipRizzi has the blacked out front grill. At first I didn't think it would look good on a CPB but after seeing those pics it looks really nice.

Flip, can you post a pic of you standing in front of the car with the headlights and fogs on?
