This is by far the sexiest looking TSX I have ever seen. Props to you for putting all that man hour into it.

I never that that goofy ass smiley face front end could look even remotely cool but yours actually looks really good. So much work into that though you should go design for Acura their designers have obviously fallen off a bit

thanks guys

i do computer engineering for a living. ive been messing with fiberglass for the past year whenever i had free time on the weekends.

that would be cool to design for acura.

by the way how are those wheels working for you? I bet you can take a 90 degree at like 50 (Im not liable for any accidents while testing)

loooks perfect with those wheels. My only complaint is the bug reflector irks me.... but love it otherwise!

As I was going on a freeway on ramp @ 40mph, there was a pick up truck in front of me and all of a sudden I drive over this huge ass rock. It's the most painful sound I've ever heard.

I took the car to a mechanic and he said the gas line is leaking underneath and there's major sub frame damage. FML!

He said it'll cost about $1500-2000 and said to call my insurance company.

I'm so lucky my son wasn't in the car because it could've caught on fire or probably exploded.

imagine running over a rock/boulder that's the size of a soccer ball @ 40mph while being lowered

Took 2 hours two dismantle my parts. =(

Left the Tein springs on. I lose out on my tints, a full tank of gas, and my painted grill

BTW, I plasti dipped the upper grill.

I'll be asking my insurance company if i can keep the hood, grill and headlights for a discount and just deduct it from total

You're expecting the car to be totaled over $2k in damage?

DEFCONSkylude · 03-05-2011, 10:53 PM

over 4k in damages

insurance didnt feel that it would be safe even if the body shop repaired the passenger side frame. body shop has never seen a damaged frame like this before.

xnixsin · 03-06-2011, 12:21 PM

Yeah man I've totaled a lude by hitting a curb... they don't like repairing unabodies. That totally sucks though. I see you have the stock front end back on so why not just keep your mods and put em on your next car?
