09 TSX: Before and After
Before:
After:
The after pics were taken this morning before I left for work. For the "after", I washed with ONR and followed up with UPP. That was 2 days ago and we've had a shower come through the night I applied the UPP. I just touched it up with UPPS. I might layer on some Danase Wet Glaze this weekend if time permitts

Excel: I threw up a little bit in my mouth when i saw them on the RL, but they are much better excecuted on the TSX. I would like to see a hex pattern in the inner part of the grill instead of the brick pattern but I dont really notice the inner part unless im washing it. Same goes for the lower air dam. The option areo bumper has a nice hex pattern instead of the brick pattern.
TS: I have thought about putting some pretty light tints on there but in IL, theres a tint law stating no tint allowed on the front windows. My brother has some pretty dark tints and he has a eye doctor's excuse note in his glove box but he still gets pulled over and ticketed.

As far as brother goes, if he has a legit doctor note, he can take that to court if they still ticket him. That blows that they don't let ANY tint on the front.
Is there a restriction on the back?

Another thought. If I was traveling, and I traveled into a state that doesn't allow front tints, I can't get ticketed for having front tints being that I have my car licensed and registered in a state where it is legal correct?

No restrictions on rear tint but no tint of any kinda is allowed for the front except the factory tint on the top 6-8 inches of the windshield. I'm not exactly sure on the laws for traveling between states with tint. I think its more of a factor of how the cop feels that day. On my way to work today, there was a guy in a Audi A6 passing a sheriff's car. No lights or sirens. Same for my brother, sometimes the cop will let him go as soon as they see the note, other will issue a ticket and tell him hes SOL and will have to face the judge to fight it. Its a legit note, he has to get a new one every year.

) I have NEVER been stopped just for my tints but when stopped for other things they always try to give me a hard time about my tints... Once I show them the doc's note they drop the issue...OP: ride looks nice!

Ah, I forgot to add that I installed the mudguards in "after" picture so theres guards all the corners, the before picture is a couple days after I picked the car up. Mudguards come colormatched from the factory. I ordered the guards off ebay and installed them myself, just 3 screws per corner.
I saw a 2008 Accord Coupe last nite at a wedding reception. It was the other car I was considering. I'm glad I stuck with the TSX. It also had mudguards but they weren't color matched and kind of interupted the styling.
