New Emblem

Have a new Front Emblem. I took a Aluminiumsheet 0,7mm thin and paint it red. The Chrome H i foiled with black vinyl. Dont know if its that much better looking to get it on my car. I have a lot of options with that DIY in almost any colour!
and cant make a decision for me, so help is wanted! I havent fix it on the car, its only for pics now.
But I think I never saw the Emblem in black with red background???

White looks good too. Have you thought about using red background but leave the H part chrome.

Yes, but red and chrome is stock ( is stock the right word for Original parts from Honda???) in Europe for TypeR.
For me it doesnt look that good as black H with red or white background!

Tried to get the same look I have in the front(I deceided for the white/black version) in the back. But the black H in the back doesnt look that good! Looks to black or dark? And the smaller H in the back is hard to cover with vinyl. Think will leave it chrome look.



And man I need your left tailllight, the US version look much better

What you mean with your car looks more complete?? Think your car looks one of the best and your pics are def. the best I saw til now!!!
I dont mind, happy you like it. And we dont live in the same city, so cant drive two similar cars at once through the town. There are a few 1000 miles between. haha, but sorry that we cant have a TSX-Accord meeting never!!!

Sorry but my english is not that good to understand what you mean with sideshorts? If its what I believe, the white sideshorts are from Honda, its for the TypeS Version. The black carbon stuff is selfmade, its aluminium covered with carbon vinyl!
Hope this is what you mean?

Fender Rolling

Rolled my fenders today. want to go with 20mm spacers each side, so i have to roll to get more space for my 8,5x19 offset 40 wheels, there is space now for 30mm each side, but in germany its not legal
here are some pics

inside the wheelhousing

This is with 15mm spacer, you see how much space is left, the number on the meter you can not see is 2cm

like your color combination with the black roof vinyl ! . does that mean you can't have sun roof ? does CU2 type comes with sunroof before you changed it? and i noticed you dont have parking sensor in the rear bumper, does that mean yours is not luxury package ?
and your rear tail light is different on the reverse area both left and right , are you planning to leave it like that?may i know why?
Sorry so many questions ... love the detail that you put in . )

I'm assuming he has the standard model so it does not have a sun roof though that doesn't mean he can't have one. Luxury models come with a sun roof with fog lights (he would've probably installed the fog lights).
That's all I can help out. If I am wrong, feel free to correct me anyone.

Its a little different in germany. We have 3 different packages only. Called Comfort (lower class) Elegance (middle class) and Executive (upper class, witch is I think the US tech package) My car is a real TypeS from Honda(one of only 9oo buid). Its a mixture of Elegance and Executive. TypeS has no parksensors, navi and sunroof, but therefore it has The whole Lip Kit, Sport Pedals, Red cluster instruments, seats are part leather and 18" wheels ( I think the same as the TSX V6).
The Euro taillight is different from yours. because we have red foglights in the back, permitted by law, one side is the foglight, the other is the reverse light. For me your taillight looks better, more symmetric and I´m working on that prob!
No prob with the questions And thank you for your compliments!!

Thanks Euronoob
I try to discribe the Euro Honda market above, hope good enough
The fog lights are Original only the housing is my own mod. I changed it a little when I saw the part you can see now on the side of the fogs, its usual behind the Original foglight mask, behind the bumper. I dont know better describing, sorry! I think you can see what I mean in pic No.4 on side1

Is there any other exhaust that is similiar to the FOX exhaust (both in looks and in sound/performance)? I'm looking for an exhaust for my CU2.

Its only the mufflers and tips, here is the link to a company that sells fox exhausts here it costs 459€ without shipping
http://www.sportauspuff-direkt.com/S...ducts_id=61772
and Fox exhaust himself, but its more expensive, 512€
http://www.fox-sportauspuff-shop.de/...slinks-p-11998
here you get another exhaust, only muffler and tips from TSS Tuning 699€
http://www.tss-tuning.de/onlineshop/...1-daempfer.php
for exhaust to the catalysator 998€ click on the leftside the yelow link - F1 Komplettanlagen -
Remember that your TSX runs in Europe under the name Honda Accord
CU2 is the 201hp version

have mounted 20mm H&R spacers in the back to get my 8,5x19 +40 rims a little more even with the fenders. Try next week to get this set street legal. Here are some pics, hope not the last with this spacers. If I dont get it legal I have to take them from the car

As promised here are some new pics. The 20mm spacers are streetlegal now. The only one in Germany who drives this setup. Got a total offset of +20
Absolutely love the look now!
Tinted turnlights


Carbon tinted Flaps


small black tint at headlights

Opened grille next to foglights







8,5x19 Offset40, 20mm spacers, Total offset 20


Thanks for some ideas I get from the great Acurazine family!
