alright, so im VERY excited for heeltoe's jdm replica grille and have been dying to get it. however, a shop in my area is selling a display, never used, injen intake for only $150...its VERY tempting...so my question is...which one shuold i get? i only have enough moeny for one item, as i want to save a few bucks as well, i know the intake deal dont come that often and 150 is almsot 50% off...but i also really want the grille as it'll make my car unique and take off the damn grille...

discuss.

wow that's an amazing price for the intake--almost the cost of a short ram.

Sounds like you really want the grille though so you should just get that--don't just hop on the deal cause its a deal...you could always get an injen used for about that price later on.

Personally I'd get the intake though cause I actually like the bucktooth

ed_423

damn..i should really re-read what i type before i submit...found typos/grammar errors all over..

the intake will make minimal gains......

is minimal worth 150 to you?



i'd snag the grill if i were you.

defconskylude

personally i like the OEM beak. get the grill since its unique

i say for $150, you can buy 1 out of my 4 G35 rims. so i can buy some 19" Enkei GTC-01 :P

ed_423

^ LOL yeah man, didnt u just picked up those vmrs?!

pbhak002

performance over looks... always! even if the gains aren't the best, i'd still go performance!

Looks>Performance

but that is just me

defconskylude

yes

but those GTC-01 are a deal!

if my G35 sells, for sure im buying them.

ed_423

true that true that...

speaking of deals..i came across a set of oem headlights for around 100..debating if i should get it to open it up and black them out myself as a project...

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

yet you dont have the mula to do the air intake and the bumper....

ed_423

haha well if i do get them then the intake and grille would be out...but its not that important to me right now thats why i didnt include it in the poll decision

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

gotcha!

defconskylude

do it.

TotheMax

So what your saying is, getting some bs grill that'll do nothing that the OEM can't isn't wasting money?

An intake is awesome because it enhances your driving experience. You spend so much time in your car, dont you want to be able to hear that sweet k24 of yours? hehe honestly up to you though ed. I say intake first.. you will love it!

defconskylude

remove your intake resonator. thats your free intake.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

bingo!
you're gonna spend 150 on SOUND?

dont know if the TSX is like the TL, butt my cold air intake from the factory is already geared towards performance.
you would be hard pressed to actaully improve the design

TotheMax

i'm not hear to argue... to each his own right? But some of your logic is kinda weird..!

ed_423

this is hard..orginally, i didnt want to start on any engine mod untill my warrenty runs out..but then came across the deal and now i dont know what to do...grille + intake resonator delete..or just intake. i've always wanted the injen intake over the ct or takeda or aem or w/e...so this is perfect (except its not black, but polisehd, but i guess thats ok)...but thanks for the advices and stuff guys, keep them coming!!

TotheMax

I wouldn't worry about your warranty and intake, if anything just slap on the stocker and bring it to acrua...

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

look at it this way intake resantor delete+Grill ur getting a two for one LOL!

get a intake later on the intake resantor will do like Justin said if your guys' TSX are like the TL's

live2hit01

are you deciding on whether or not to buy a $150 cai vs an over $400 grill? i think you should buy the cai now, and then in a couple months buy the grill. Do you even know when the grill will become available?

Also, will I get yelled at if I tell you to plasti-dip your grill in the meantime???

ed_423

haha plasti dip only looks good on black

defconskylude

you can be the first to plasti dip your entire car and have a chrome grill

kowloonsniperhk

I say get the grille. unique. ive had an intake on my old car before and its alright. better if there was an exhaust too. if your doing it for the sound, take off your resonator. you'll turn heads more with the grille

KillerG

go with the intake since you can enjoy it while you drive!

who wants to hear a growl for $150?
when you can hear the same growl for free by removing the intake resonator.

the grill would be player.

MrOtocinclus

I'd get the grill and remove the resonator, or even just the plastic tube that connects the resonator.

ed_423

kinda leaning towards this way...but sitll not sure

TSteezyX

The CAI won't give you impressive HP gains. Maybe +5whp gains when it's all said and done. If you're doing it for the noise, you could just take off your resonator like people have already said...it'll have basically the same effect.

What's the grille look like? I haven't been keeping up with our aftermarket support(because it's basically been nil all along, lol).

ed_423

this:


with A instead of H cuz i dont wanna rebadge

prototype form heeltoe

KillerG

i take back what i said about the intake, that grill is sick. must. buy.

Simba91102

Ya, check out the shift key too. This isn't text or IM (though that's still no excuse in my opinion).... you should try the concept of CAPITALS in polite conversation. I'd say invest that $150 and leave the car the way Honda meant it, but..... I was a kid once too. Flip a coin......

ed_423

s0rRy, ill tRy 2 f1X my 3rRor$ n3Xt t1Me

ed_423

alright, i made my decision!

i'll update with a teaser or something later on
