yea i pulled the corner bulbs.. n his car looks clean tho

im using my blackberry z10 for pics.. n yea im enjoying how my car sits with the wheels and lip so far im the only ILX around my area thats modded and tastefully modded at that

im glad u like the car bro much appreciated

 

I have yet to see a modded ILX in person minus Dmitri (sp) when he came by the shooting range.

When ever I see stock ILXs I drive by all slow and they dont even look. LOL. Most of the time its someone older than me. Probably doesnt care.

 

lol thats jokes

I get starred at alot but im not sure if its the car or these damn good looks of mine lol

 

but its funny u say that iv yet to see another ILX stare at me...soo true

 

most ilx's Iv seen on the road didnt seem to notice me at all... although twice I ran into the same black ILX driven by a middle aged asian male, and dude was like "whoa!" literally made the face and stuff LOL. About a week ago a blue ILX with a middle aged asian female driver definitely was looking at my car (she parked like 1 car over), but her face was just expressionless, pretty sure she was unimpressed. It's weird, I think most of the ILX drivers I met/ were not even part of the "intended" demographic for this car - Young (mostly)single males trying to step up to first nice car/job, new professionals, recent college grads, people along those lines. I think most I've seen were actually middle aged to older, harder to tell about the other stuff in passing.

 

looking good !!

 

Seems to me I see older guys driving them.
Civic owners tend to look as well as luxury car owners. I assume the civic guys are looking at it seeing their car looking pretty and the German lux guys some are impressed others probably scoff at us.

 

i usually get alot of love from the TL community even on the street of ppl i dont kno its usually middle aged dudes

 

Yeah same experience here - its the middle-aged dudes that like my car a lot. The younger guys are more into Civic SI's, if they are looking at my ILX It's because I'm getting a million comparisons to an SI. The older guys like the sporty look, yet basic refinement and economy factors. Like I said, the intended demographic kinda missed the mark. I think middle-aged dudes, from various backgrounds, are buying it the most at this point.

 

and women!!! damn i see more women then men in these things

 

yeah haha but they're not even hot young chicks, or else that'd be awesome. Easy icebreaker to talk to a girl - "Hey I got an ILX too!"

 

lol tru

 

 

lol Nice.

Mind some more constructive criticism?
If you edit your shots it would go a long way if you tilted it so that the car roof is level so the headlights look level as well. Looks like the car is leaning to the right like one of those cholos. hahaha After tilting it just crop it a little so that you dont have white spaces where you tilted the image. Some phone edited apps when tilting auto zoom so that your edges are already perfect.

Hows the ride? Feel any harsher with the 19s?

 

they are 18's n i mean its not as bad as everyone says it would be too be honest with you it is actually comfortable unless ofcourse you hit a serious pothole or someting but ne car would hit hard enuff if the potholes right...its so smooth on the hwy jeeze

 

Damn those are 18s? Looked big to me.

 

They look big in person too.. tho i would love to see some nice stance with 19's, i wish i cud have but its my DD

 

Ive seen 2 or 3 19s that actually looked really good in the right picture.

But from the rear more often than not they look HUGE. Rear end of this was doesn't house big wheels properly in my opinion.

18s that look like 19s seems to be perfect. haha

 

lol its cuzz i have no tire lol

 

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I love that stance!!!!

 

Thank you bro!

I may have a sponsor coming from my boy that i kno so the stance may get even better!

 

Sick. What racing group or company? Who's parts can they hook you up with?!
So jealous.

 

I love that stance! Keep up the good work.

 

Beautiful EL in the first post(still love my 90s Hondas/Acuras) and the red tailights looked a lot better than I thought it would. Nice ILX.

 

Sorry Jon.. I cannot release that info as yet.. just gotta sit tight..I appreciate the feedback and the love boys..and the 90's honda were the best Hondas imo so many options it was so much fun back then and they can still be done up nice like a nice 2000 integra that is one of the cleanest hondas of all time when its done right!!

 

3" RR catback is ordered!!

 

^ damn, looking forward to that! Are you cutting the bumper yourself?
I had a 3" megapower rr on my FG2 and they are freaking loud. I actually got a ticket from it being too loud.

 

One of the reasons I'm not complaining about getting a 2.5 inch exhaust for free soon. Young guy in a loud car =unwanted police attention/tickets.

 

Because braaaap braaaaaaaap.

 

No im keeping it looking oem im gonna b cutting the catback instead of bumper

 

Cutting the catback? Instead of just cutting out some of the mid section?

And be carefully where you place your exhaust tip so you don't melt the bumper.

 

All that is gonna be taken into consideration iv discussed this with the shop. Ill be leaving my car there for the day so they can take ther time so it fits right!

 

Yes be careful - my Bumper is melting pretty bad. I'm cutting it so I don't care too much right now but just an FYI

 

ill do wut ever it takes to not cut the bumper but i mean if its not possible then have no choice right> do u have ne pics of ur bumper with your muffler.. can u take ne and possibly get a rough measurement from exhaust tip to beginning of bumper

just so I can give this info to the shop everything helps thx

 

So right now I replaced the muffler and resonator but the exhaust tip is still where is was from factory (or really close to it). I imagine the larger Downpipe and less restrictive muffler has made the air Hotter coming out. If I was you I would push the exhaust tip back another inch or so and maybe even tilt it more downward

 

That sux.. well thats good to know and i appreciate the heads up n the time. Ill let the shop know the deal n see where it goes.

 

When are you getting the car back?!

 

damnit!!! my only gripe about the 2.4 is no NAV! wonder how much it would cost to install.... hmmmmm

 

can someone tell me more about this STI lip?? i definitely want one!

and nice car POCKETS!

 

I just followed what jon said go buy a 05 replica sti v-lip. But how u put it on makes alllll the difference in the world. Most ppl put it on to look like. Splitter if u look at usdmjon his is set like that. Mine i tried to make it more like a front lip i pushed my lip in more as u can c in the pictures.. n thx for the likes!
