pockets....Welcome to Acurazine and for your new Dynamic ILX!! I am also Canadian and we are very fortunate here as we get a lot of goodies with our Dynamic package that our friends south of the border are envious

THat last pic you have posted....how can you drive a car like that on our roads without shredding the front bumper/lip. There is like 1/8" of clearance! Yikes

Congratulations and welcome. Weather's right, we're jealous that you've got the 6MT + Nav up there. Can't wait to see what you've got in store for the ILX. Glad you are a member of the fam - keep us posted on your progress.

Hey hey now. Speak for yourselves. Im very happy with my 2.0 tech! I wouldn't trade my auto for a manual... until they release a 2.4 auto that is. But even then Id probably keep my 2013 since its the first year release and running great.. knock on wood.
Luxury all day with more hands for activities.

I hope to see this car gets bags!! hint hint nudge nudge DO IT!!

I know. I was trying to say Id only get rid of my 2.0 auto tech for a 2.4 auto tech. When I think luxury I think auto so I need auto. I understand the draw of the manual to others though.

So you are gonna be riding with wheel tuck? Curious to know if you are gonna get wheels, what specs are you gonna go? And what size? I keep pestering people about wheel size and fitments, wheels will probably be my last big mod on the car, small stuff will be continuous. I'm keeping an eye on what different people are doing to see what will work and what won't, whats going to be the limits, and whats playing it safe.

to be honest bro.. im not 100% sure i wanted to get wheels real bad. but once i lowered it (pics dont do justice) but it being lowered on these stock rims it looks really nice but i will be getting wheels and they will be concaved.. 18's for sure no higher then +35 offset and between 9-9.5 with rolled fenders 18x9+35 225/40/18 with where my car is now it will fit pretty close with no camber kits

and it really comes down to how low you go when regards to fitment ne higher then where i am you cud pretty much run ne thing its when your at my height n lower is where the issues come in... n observing other cars is def a smart way to go it gives you some good perspective and ideas!!

awh that makes me feel special lol. Your going to like whats coming in the next few months then.

As far as sideskirts go, you could order them with or without the fin on the website. It would be best to email them. Tell them I (Aaron) referred you from Acurazine.

honestly bro these NEOs are pretty comfy and very smooth But my rears are almost all the way down so if I hit a pothole a big one atleast or a big bump my rears bottom out..

since your in Hamilton are you gonna come out to some acurazine meets and cruises? I went to a meet on thursday like 20 25 cars showd up, great group of dudes..

Same here, megan is pretty close to stock but when I hit a pothole it makes some clunk or tad noise which is annoying. I will be taking my coilovers soon until they finish the construction near my work. I get pissed every time I hear that clunk noise and feels like driving a 10 year old car.

Where do you guys meet? I am not really into that but I might consider showing up if time permits.

The sound you guys are hearing with the coilovers... is this outside the norm from coilovers you have owned in the past?

I want to lower my car more but I am not looking to increase road noise.

Looking good. Need some spacers to get rid of some of that sunkenness.

Did you have the STI lip at one point??!

Boggles my mind how many people actually installed it. I see them on instagram constantly now. Makes me wonder now who did it first to the ILX.

a trend that spans across many many different cars. it wouldnt be hard to think outside the box and carry the trend over to the ilx!
