Newb with a 06 Tsx

Hey guys, I bought my 06 nhbp tsx in May of 18'. When I bought it, it had 61k. I'm the third owner. Two previous owners were older folks. In overall good shape. Door dings and scratches on most panels. It is a 6 speed manual. I've put a few things on it. Started with Tein street advance coilovers. Megan Racing front camber kits. Wicked Racing rear camber arms and Spc rear toe arms. It also has a HPS air intake. Littlebo ecu reflash. I also have a PLM header and Yonaka catback exhaust not installed yet. No crazy plans for her, but would like to find some wheels to put on her. Maybe some TL-S waffles or something else. I'm also a member of Tsxclub under the user name faithnomore. Here's some pics

I've had my share of Honda's and Acura's. This is by far the cleanest car I've owned other then my wife's 2013 Honda CR-V ex-l. I'm 40 yrs old. Don't care for the crazy wings and gawdy wheels etc. I just like to drive. Stock is boring lol

Looks very clean. Honda had some awesome factory wheels during this time period, and these are definitely another example imho- they contrast the NBP paint really well. That said it seems you can get waffle repros ~160$ a corner. But honestly i think you nailed this so far

Thanks for the kind words. I love this car. Been a huge fan for years but these were always out of my price range. I did look into rep waffles but I hear that the oem's are heavy. I can only imagine the knockoffs are worse. We'll see what happens. Michigan weather is so temperamental. I envy the west coast guys and southern guys who can drive all year long.

looks great so congrats. real ones are definitely heavy, but honestly im also a fan of the base TL wheels almost as much as the waffles for NBP cars.

As a new england person i totally relate- im really enjoying detailing and having a clean car and wheels for the summer though
