...however, you could be right about them being for the loss if they end up not fitting for whatever reason. We shall see.

Wow I just realized you don't have a crashbar.. I guess you had to remove that crash bar for the FMIC huh? There was no way of putting it behind or infront of it?
The possibility that you think it looks strange to you is because.. either
a) The black portion in the bumper. Personally I think if the bumper was all white it would look nicer.
b) The bumper no longer has a big opened 'mouth' in the center.
Also post pics of canards on the bumper! I always wanted to see canards on the oem bumper[with or without aspec under-spoiler].

The front bumper looks weird to me mostly because there is no lip on it. I sold the aspec lip the other month, so i'll just drive around without one.
I think i've got a pic of the canards somewhere, maybe i'll post it up.

Actually, I did think about this shortly after I got the car while looking at some other cars that have this feature stock. I came to the conclusion that for my needs, it was pointless, but given the design of the TL, it would be easily accomplished.

ok WTF? all this and it's an automatic?? and what do you mean the world's most enduring automatic?? arn't the autos in our TLs known for major problems/failures????
and about the OEM bumper...why wud u leave it in at the body shop? and better yet, why wud they throw it away?? it costs money...i'm suprised they hadn't used it/sold it.

To my knowledge, none have successfully executed a turbo install.
MAYBE someone is checking into it...........!?
DAMN I hate you Eric-just more reasons to drool and dream! Someday when I get older I want to be like you!

The TSX brake kits are indeed compatible on the 5AT TL.

The install was a success. We got the rotora stainless steel lines to work as well. The project mu ones weren't gonna cut it according to the nipple inside the thread housing. I've got a few pics from the install, i'll go ahead and post some up for now.
