Update on my order of the modulo front and side skirts from DCH Honda of Temecula, CA:

The shipping price, from CA to PA, is indeed $125. It did take a week for them to actually get the part but that's understandable. I'm glad i found them. Total for the two pieces are $560 for the front and $367 for the sides.

Side note: i did order new wheels/tires so my wallet is hurting right now, so that's why i didn't order the rear bumper to complete the kit. Prob doing the RL BBK before i get the rear bumper. I'll eventually get the rear from DCH also when i get some sort of exhaust set up. Shipped all this stuff to my parents house and i didn't even tell them; hope they won't get mad.

I was wondering is hard to drive with 19 inch rims? Does it change the driving experience and how are they when taking turns (hit the curb)?

I don't have 19" rims. Maybe you meant to quote someone else?

I can only imagine 19s being even heavier. Your acceleration will feel more sluggish, and you can literally feel the car being heavier. Unsprung weight sucks. Even though my new Work wheels still aren't exactly lightweight wheels, they definitely feel a lot lighter than the VMRs I had. 19s will also ride shittier than 18s will. Inherently you will likely be running thinner tires on 19s than you would on 18s, so the ride is going to be more uncomfortable than before.

As for taking turns... handling will be a bit compromised on heavier wheels. Also, 19" wheels are bigger than 18" wheels, which should raise the car more than 18s under the same suspension setup, meaning your center of gravity will be higher. As a result, your car won't turn as well on larger wheels, unless you lower it more of course (but there are other factors involved as well when you lower the car... won't get into those here). As for hitting the curb... you should never hit a curb lol

Umm. I'm not sure I follow where you're going there. As long as you compensate for the larger wheel diameter with a lower profile tire, like you said, the overall height of the wheel/tire will stay the same as stock. Thus the center of the wheel stays in the same plane height relative to the car and the ground.

Ride height and CG stay the same if you keep the same tire diameter.

xtcnrice

That's true. I'm assuming same profile/width, but for different diameter wheel tires. i.e., a 235/40/19 (if that even exists) will be higher vs 235/40/18. I actually typed that bit up but I deleted it for some reason...

That looks awesome. I'm trying to find a good setup for my 2012 wagon. What size/offsets were you running with the VMR? And did it require a fender roll?

xtcnrice

18x9.5 +45 square. Didn't require a roll and was lowered probably almost 2". Couple months later I added 15mm spacers to the rear, but in preparation for that I got the rear fenders rolled about a week before. So, I don't know for sure if it would've rubbed with the spacers on without a roll... but I thought it likely would have.

jobro

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I'm going back and forth on what to do. I'd really like to do 19x9.5 +35mm with coilovers to start. I'm just worried about clearance with the 10mm difference and ride quality on 19s. But if I'm going to do it, I want a little more concavity and diameter to help it stand out, hence the conflict.

xtcnrice

Yup just gotta figure out your priority/goals; it's really tough to do this sort of trade off when you want best of both worlds. Of course you can accomplish the 19x9.5 +35, but you'll likely need a thinner tire and/or roll the fenders.

Good luck!

jobro

Yeah. I've decided to go with Niche Targas in 18x9.5 +40. That will give me some more tire to soak up the bumps, a safety net of offset for the front, and I can do spacers in the rear if need be. The Targa spokes come right out to the edge so I think they'll look just fine in 18s.

sorry to bring this thread back after 3 years but just wanted to know if anyone has actually installed the se rear bumper on a non se. i see eveyone says it will fit but has anybody actually done it. just noticed the part numbers for the quarter panels are different for the se compared to every other tsx from 09-14. any help would be awesome thanks guys/girls

mayanhippy

Is this still available at the dealership? How much they going for ?

silverautorex

yeah its still available there's the special edition rear bumper (not painted) and the accessory bumper (comes painted) every dealer sets there own pricing you would have to call them
