Maybe hope for the new 2G TSX yet! (RJ Aero-kit Concept)
Just a design excercise, after seeing the new TSX in person at the NY Autoshow, I was inspired to do something. Pretty big potential for this to come out when the vehicle becomes available. In polyurethane with a new grille and OEM fogs relocated. Rear shot coming soon:

Grille looks awesome and a nice option to replace the OEM one if I had the 09 TSX. The bumper is a bit "edgy" but would look awesome if you smooth out the edges. Find a balance between this and the current RJ TL bumper.

Looks great Rondog, but I still think the grille can be improved. Perhaps remove the bottom opening on the grille, and enlargen the top opening just a tad bit...

with the hypothetical RJ kit, the front reminds me of the new US accord.
agreed with the transformers feel. lots of hard angles and stuff give off that vibe.
i thought that the modulo bumpers (if that's what they were) from the geneva show looked alright on the euro accord.

Keep working man.
Kit aside, I think if you come up with a new grille that matches whatever kit you make, and looks like a more "traditional" grille, you'll sell oodles.
Lots of people like the cars but HATE the new front ends, especially the cheese slicer grilles.

second one looks hot. if the 09 came OEM like that, or close to that, i would probably have waited for the 09... even if you don't do the kit, the grille would definitely sell since that seems to one of the main complaints of the 2nd gen design... have factory paint color matched grille like that and you'd make some dinero dude

Ok, we're getting alot closer now...
The sideskirts on this car really don't need much, just to be lowered, the front needs to be simple with the signature RJ design and some hard edges, rear will be simple as well, extension with a difuser. The front grille will be replaced by a single piece bumper and an upper trim piece made from a modified OEM grille from Acura. Notice how the bottom of the upper grille is part of the bumper.

It's too bad the people buying the new TSX aren't going to care to buy a body kit.
Most people over 40 could care less about body kits and grilles.
And that's obviously who this car's going to be marketed to.
