I CF vinyl wrapped my emblems today. My fingers hurt. But now my back is gonna hurt. Cus I just pulled landscaping duty. Just like that old lady in Happy Gilmore.

Unsure if I love it or not.

 

I'm sure I don't love it...
good news everyone...arts and crafts time was extended by 4 hours today!!! my hands hurt...
...you didn't need to ruin that great line by telling us what movie!


Order the JDM badges...OEM and look clean...red or black or whatever.

 

+1 for JDM oem badges. I got them recently and even my gf approved.

 

I don't want red badges.

I was finna get CR badges. But...have y'all seen the SIZE of AP2 badges? Fuck.

 

I got black badges.

 

A few parts are being installed right now

 

 

I went black too.


in all fairness, I hate cf wrap.

I did a plastic honeycomb setup in place of the OEM bumper vent things. I know you said one of yours was missing. The pic above will give you an idea for an alternative.

 

did you remove the leds behind it? Looks good, Dennis.

 

Thanks j. Removed the fogs completely. If I ever want to go back to that look I can just pop them in

 

I don't blame you...it looks awesome with the grill. Nicely done.

 

Lol. Those are chrome badges with a black surround.

I have a black car. It had chrome badges.

If I got chrome badges with a black surround.....

See where I'm going? I'm smart AF about badges. I think I'll nickname myself "The Badger"

 

rolandbadger dont give a fk

well take the fkng cf off, mr badge. that much i can guarantee you is a smart move.

 

That looks fantastic!

 

must have got AP2 badges then?

 

Website says ap1

 

Thanks. I have a long of the honey comb vent. If you wish to tackle the project I can send you a piece

 

That would be fantastic! Did you remove the front bumper to access the back of the vents? How did you secure it?

 

YES FROM THE REAR...
he used tie wraps and sheer will.

 

I see what you tryinna do, player.

 

Yeah. Maybe I'll paint them black and use black vinyl to protect the front one.

Or just go on living my life.

 

Removed bumper. Used a dremel to carefully cut OEM vents. Used the dremel to smooth out edges. Secured the new grill with zip ties

 

I had done plastidip on mine early on...kinda liked how it looked.

Are any of you mofos audio people? I have an audio question about my 06 TSX Tech.

I want to post in the audio forum. But you are already all my friends. And I'm afraid everyone else will beat me up unmerciful for looking like a mixture of Trevor from Trailer park Boys and Kip Dynamite.

**if both those people had a tan.

 

I will betray you.

Just sayin'.

 

Ask yo question bro. Don't keep me hanging.

 

O'snap. Alright.

I have a 06 tech. I like the way it sounds...but I also think I could install some better speakers in there. I get some distortion at higher volume levels with bassy songs. I'm kind of a basstard.

I don't really wanna install an amp and a sub. But I think I have some laying around if it came to it.

Is there a set of speakers I could install, sans amp, in order to make this shit put out more sound without distorting?

Looking for an upgrade that doesn't require a lot of work. My wiring and custom work is is #1. But I have too many projects...and I am also FROM the projects.

Lmk.

 

I put Infinity speakers in my TL. A nice upgrade even with shitty stock amp.

 

The sound you're hearing as distorted is not a result of the speakers, it's the amp that can't put out that much power. Replacing the speakers will give you some more clarity in the sound and better frequency range but not more volume which is entirely a function of the amp.

 

if the tsx is anything like the tl...and you dont' want to go balls to the wall on upgrading...leave it alone...if all you want is to be able to dial back the bass in your mids/highs to not distort(illera). Then do yourself a flavor and just get a little 10" action in there and swap it for the oem amp. That should do it...

The amount of money I threw at a dumb problem...wanting to be able to hear music really loudly with the windows down going 80 on the highway.

 

Does anyone need a 2004-2005 valve cover? $100 plus shipping. Send noodz for 10% discount.

 

^Good price on that valve cover.

And thanks for all the audio advice, gents.

So if I really wanted it to sound nice, I'd have to add an amp and speakers? I'm sure I can install a spare tire mounted 10" sub all sneaky spec. But....I'm EVER so busy.

The 2011 tech wagon that we have sounds pretty deng fantastic. I know it has a 10" sub. So I assume that most of the bass is handled by the sub rather than the speakers?

I'm not a windows-down at high speed kinda guy. I hate the fucking wind. I just like listening to shit REALLY loudly. I'm usually feelin them cool cool island breezes, ya feelin me? BOY-EEEE

 

The stock volume is fine for everything but the bass. Tryinna listen to eek-a-mouse or barrington levy. Hard AF. Just like they're saying life is.

 

valve cover is tempting

 

What u know about dat

 

I know all about it up to about volume 28. Then IDK anymore.

 

LMK

Tyler, awesome price, man...at that price it'll sell quickly!

 

Shieeettt, that's the price for my Acurazine boyfriends. Everyone else will pay more and won't get the noodz discount.

 

I know it...
