Your paint is easy to match.

Got the bumper at speed concept too btw.

So if any of you need parts from Acura, go talk to JJ. All my shit came from Ron Tonkin, for a lot a lot less.


Also PAGE 75!!!

I wouldnt say expert.... but those are not his wheels if you read into his thread. Was just messing around with a friends set.

The offset is right, just too wide of a wheel.

Hopefully ill have the spoiler put on. Ive got to get my trunk repainted still, but that will be for free. So when that is getting done im gonna ask what it will cost to mold it in.

Bumper probably wont be on, unless all i paint is the bumper and i dont blend it. But then again, i dont have the lip or fog lights yet.

Steering wheel...still need to find a place to wrap it.

Rear fog...yea that will be done soon.

Quote: Dynamat is on the spendy side. You can get more bang for the buck if you go with companys such as secondskin, rammat, and edead. I deadened the entire rsx with Edead v1se, teklite, and V3 for around $300. That was 2 layers plus the teklite on top. The V3 was pasted onto the inside of the plastic door panels. The was pretty quiet afterwards.

PICS!! my old install

Check elementaldesigns for info on thier site.
dynamats are expensive but they are bulletproof on quality.
years ago, i used fatmat on my tsx and when weather got sizzling hot, fatmat (tarp) melted and leaked down the seams on few doors.
after that incident, i only used dynamat even though they are pricey.

tl's bumper will look too bulky on nimbler looking tsx. you have better choice such as 04/05 Mugen, 06/up Mugen, and Spoon.

Ha, i think we just screwed over Tonkin now that we know Speed has a account with them.


I hope these new mods will help out, im tired of doing as much as i do and every time i show it, it gets no coverage or people think its a TSX (not trying to bash on TSX's)

Also Min, one of the guys on Team Vanquish lives right by you, says hes waved at you a couple times thinking you were me. Was tell me that he saw my car with a police sticker on the back window. He drives a Yellow/Carbon Fiber WRX on Black RPF1's

people who still thinks tl = tsx are dumbfucks.. funny thing is if your in tsx, people asks if its tl. some guys thought my tsx was tl, and now they think tl is tsx.

yellow wrx? i haven't noticed it yet.. maybe i was too carried away doing something. i saw your brother yesterday though. black rsx with black volks and yellow fogs on.


btw... i was bored today and went through my old threads for some pics.
take a look at my old tsx if you guys are bored too

Quote: nice tsx min.. what did you use to add the aftermarket stereo?
its been a while so i'm not pretty sure. i was so into stereo and can't believe i forgot all those things after few years...

i know i used aux adapter (may be from shonda?) and ground loop isolator to eliminate ground noise. used jl e6450(?) 6 channel to power 10 speakers and two subs in the trunk.

this is a later setup. ditched alpine for eclipse 2din unit

i believe it was around $500 for the install and fiberglassing. i didn't like how others' came out where they fiberglassed it on stock stereo spot. also if you just add on navi like what i did, you still can use stock cd changer, sattlelite radio, etc...

I think im gonna go to Tualatin Auto Body on tuesday to see what they can do. My trunk is getting repainted by them anyways, so hopefully they only try to charge me for the molding and not the paint.

probably you can get a package deal by painting roof too.
or for the shows, get faux carbon fiber overlays for the roof. it'll sure catch people's attention.

If anything i would wrap the roof, but at like 300-450 to wrap the roof in vinyl, that goes on the back burner.

Dont mind the dirt.

But here is what the spoiler looks like just mocked up on the trunk. Tomorrow ill work on some photoshop's of it molded on.










Also found a place for my rear facing fog light were its only visible from about 10+ ft away from the car, and its nice and low to cut through any evil fog when it comes to be that time of year again.

Thanks guys, it needs a little work. there are some low spots in the spoiler that needs to be leveled out. Also the area the comes around the rear "A" isnt centered. All simple fixes, and luckily its not carbon fiber.
