If only Honda could address the rest of your issues. :fawk:

I'm with Fatbooty though. If I were to get the TSX, the aero kit would come with it. (And of course some Progress Compeition IIs but thats another story. ). Looks entirely too tame to carry an SX tag. Just looks like a smaller TL.

I'm starting to see a definite Honda trend. RSX - looks 10 times better with aero kit & spoiler. Civic SI - looks 10 times better with aero kit. TSX - Looks 10 times better with aero kit.

I believe it is supposed to blend smoothly into the fuel gauge. Which is also why the tach stops at precisely the same height as the odometer.

well i think the big empty black space where it ends sticks out more than the levelness of those things. But i do like the basic look of the guages.... just think it would look better with those numbers finishing off those circles.

Would you rather it go all the way around in a full circle?

I like it. The gauges are my favorite part, they should get some sales by themselves. Good job redoing this, Acura :thumbup:

Query: What is that compartment below the stereo controls? On the Accord, it holds CD's. But it looks different on this.

I bet that they will be for the accessory mp3 player and additional 6disc cd changer that u can get as an option...these optionas are avail. 4 the usdm accord, and the dash design treatment is similar, so thus, i would expect these things 2 be part of the tsx as well...


360 watts + 12disc indash cd changer+mp3 player= not bad factory set-up

A Type-S has to come out. It's the only way I can get a TSX de-chromed. :P
