Hey guys. Just past my 15 day trial on here so I can finally post up some pics of my ride. It's Bellanova White/Ebony 6-Speed Premium model with the OEM Spoiler and Underbody kit. I definitely plan on modding and currently have some LED's on order for the DRL's, Fogs, Reverse, and License Plate lights.

 

I love it!

 

Thanks Trent!!

 

Makes me want the body kit so bad.. The white is also awesome.. I am still just as bent as I was the day I bought my car between White, Black and Grey.

 

I should've gotten a white car

 

Hey, I live in CT, by the way...we should def do a meetup.

 

I'm down for a meet up once the weather starts to warm up.

 

Here's one more of the rear.

 

Looks great, enjoy.

 

Thanks terdonal.

 

Hey since all my modding money is tied up in a S/C and Aftercooler you can buy me a body kit and send it to my house.. Thanks Kris!

DAT ASS!

 

LOL!! No problem Trent.

 

Oh, very nice!



Welcome aboard. That's an awesome looking ILX. Keep us posted on your upgrades and have fun with the car.

 

Looks good Kris! I beat myself up everyday for not adding the kit! as a fellow white ILX owner!

 

Thanks veeedub!! I'm so glad I got the kit. It sets the car off perfectly.

 

looks awesome! i love my fathom blue pearl, but, every time i see a white one, makes me think twice

 

Pix or your Fathom Blue never happened!

 

fair enough! All i have is a few crappy cell phone shots. looks like i can't insert images yet, so, i posted one to flicker.

 

MHMM delicious.. Excellent choice.

 

Thanks! really enjoying it so far. thankfully it doesn't seem to suffer any squeaks and rattles (other than the occasional thud from the rear). gas mileage is great too considering performance. i'm still considering the dynamat for the trunk though to quite down the exhaust note a tad

 

You should get a sway bar...just saying...it's definitely a great mod.

 

I soooooo need sway barzzzzzz.. only $270.. send them to me Speed.. My birthday is soon.

 

Just get teh rearzzzz only...110 bucks

 

DD will benefit from front & rear. Stability>> speed in "corners" haha

Plus we have tiny sway barrrzzzzz and bundling them is crazy savings

 

You have it optioned up really nice, I like it!! Your driveway is nice too!

 

Hello. I picked up a white/black 2013 ILX Tech last week and would like to swap out the bulbs you mentioned. Do you have anymore info on what you went with and how it turned out? Would really appreciate any info.

Btw, your car looks great!!

 

I just got them today but I'm not gonna install them until this weekend. After I install them I'll post some pics of what I bought and what they look like installed.

 

Hahaha, its the opposite for me..I've only seen one Blue Pearl on the street, and it was beautiful.

I want sway bar...But I have never modded my car other than superficially. I hear it does wonders.

I can't wait for the LED installations. Esp the turn signals. What did you get?
I've installed 6000k Headlights/6000k HID Fogs. White/blueish License Plates, and 7000k DRLS/Highbeams. Although, I regret changing the DRLS because I can barely see them during the day and the light output at night from the high beams isn't as clear.

 

I'll just post links to everything I bought since it's easier.

For the Reverse Lights I bought a T10 LED bulb. I can't find the link I got that one from.

That's pretty much it. We'll see how everything goes with the install this weekend.

 

oh wow, more tri-staters!
welcome to the forum. I really wish my dealership had a white one.

nice adam bomb profile pic. I try to stop by the soho shop whenever I get a chance on my way back from work. I live right outside the holland tunnel.

 

Thanks aaronnn!!

 

Nice ILX! It looks great with the body kit. I feel like it should be standard.

 

I couldn't agree more.

 

They could at least make a type-s model...it's dumb that they dropped the type-s since that sold relatively well. Every other luxury brand has a performance variant of their popular models...sometimes I feel like the only talented people at Honda/Acura are their engineers.

 

actually.. our 6 speed models SHOULD be the Type-S and come standard with the lip kit. its a good way to differentiate the base 2.0/hybrid/and our 2.4's.

 

Now this makes sense.

 

A stiffer suspension and exclusive spoiler would of been nice. I think that'd be worthy of the S badge but I doubt the engineers wanted that.. as they say the "Type-R" and "Type-S" badges hold a special place in their hearts.

 

hfp suspension, lsd, spoiler, and a tip cutout would cost almost nothing, but they can charge 1k more and I'd still buy it!

 

Have any Acuras ever come with a LSD? With the exception of the Type R?

 

none, except maybe the awd cars having an advanced differential setup.
