I've been a zombie, man...moving and painting and painting and moving. Oh well...it'll all be worth it in the end. LOVING the new neighborhood though, that's for sure. I'm glad you're doing well also...glad to see the TLX getting some serious love. After all the effort you put in, it should!

The VFS-1 looked good because you can see the calipers (I like that look, but you do need to dress them up ) and also the rear wheels have more of a dimension of depth to them.

But the VFS-2 looked good because they are more classy/luxury car looking.

But what you did was PERFECT. You kept is luxury looking, which goes with the theme of the car. Even though the VFS-2 has less of that perception of width, now because you staggered them it gives it a TRUE perspective of width. And I am a fan of that staggered look, I've done the same. Yeah you pay for it with tires, but it's worth it.

This car looks 100 times better modified. Much more exciting and bold, I liked the prototype but was disappointed with production.

Any more rear three-quarter/straight-on shots?

Chan, how would the factory warranty be affected by the coilovers you are running or even air ride suspension?

What's your thoughts?

Speaking for our RS-R coilover system, it does not have any affect on our suspension. The only thing I noticed is the negative chamber which created by lowering the vehicle.

Awesome car man. Currently following you on IG. Knew I could find you here. I like the color contrast on the bottom wheels, but the top isn't bad. Depends on your taste. Would love to see Matte black!

Yeah CF looks clean. Not sure why they don't offer that stock anymore. The rear angle of the body kit is growing on me, the front seems bland.

Your car looks great so far man (i'm only a few pages in at this time).

Last black friday (2013) I got a sick deal on a 2014 Mazda 6, touring/tech in white pearl. I thought I would love it. By Dec 1, 2013 I was bored. The car was good, it did things that cars do and that was about it. I regretted selling my TSX almost instantly.

I have been searching for a replacement every since, this is a car I wouldn't mind coming out of the pocket for. The interior is stunning. The exterior is gorgeous. Seems to me like a killer deal for the Acura minded.

Fantastic shots, Mike WOW...Markham Park?
not too many parks you can get that close to the water and drive among the Australian Pine.

LOVE the interior door open one!



So, did you buy it off the dealership yet?

I believe the suspension setup is prototype RS*R Coilovers & the drop is between 2.5in-3in.

We are using a prototype RS-R coilover set right now. The production model of these coilover should be available this month. They are specifically designed and made for the TLX, not from a Honda Accord set up.

P.S. Every RS-R coilovers are handbuilt in Japan.

SpoilerKing sent over a Roof Spoiler for our TLX. We painted in Gloss Black. It is hard to capture in a picture but it looks really good in person, specially with it matches with all of the gloss black trim. What you guys think?

Niiice. I love my spoilerkings rear window visor/roof spoiler. It looks greato and gives the rear end of both this and my car a little more of a luxurious feel. Love it.

Gloss black looks great. I just left mine unpainted to match the splitter ive got.

I would leave the roof alone. The TLX doesn't have that aggressive style like a 3g tl does to sport a black roof. Its more vip'd to me. Maybe photoshop it to see what it would look like.

I'm personally not a fan...I don't think it'll kill the clean look though since the glass looks black and the roof spoiler is black, it'll probably flow well. Probably be a first for the TLX too, for now

Worst case...rock it for a month then pull it off!
