Agreed The car looks sharp without them but it's strange that my 2019 ASPEC has side skirts but the 2021 Type S doesn't. I know it's different generations of TLX but it's just not right.

@etherdude 2 жыл бұрын

Since I live on the East Coast in snow country, I am glad that additional lower body skirts are not stock, though I do wish that splash guards were stock. We have to live with nearly 6 months of crap road conditions, sand and salt here in New England. Also why I didn't buy the lighter weight summer tires/wheel option.

I installed the rear under spoiler with 3M double sided tape only. It’s pretty secure. Didn’t want to drill in case other body kits come out in the future. I did it with the car on the ground. Turned the front wheels to access the screws. The hardest part was trying to put the rear fender liner back until I figured out that there was an access panel to all the 4 fasteners on the bottom. Body kit makes the car look like it’s lowered.

The TLX looks fly. Excellent job. Personally - I love the gloss look of the rear deck spoiler without carbon fiber. I do love the side skirt spoilers. And the wheelbase looks great. I dont see any need for you to change it. For the front - I would say add fog lights. This is more for safety. I am a big fan of fog lights. I find it a shame that car manufacturers are not including this on most or all cars. Thats my personal take on it, but as it is now, the car really looks fly. Enjoy your masterpiece !!!

Beautiful upgrades. They need to make another Accord type R but that will probably outshine the Type S. Idk why they didn't take the DCT from the RLX and shave some weight from this car then add the SH-AWD to make it more desirable and lighter. It's big, slow( for it's class), and beautiful

@VonDarko 3 жыл бұрын

@KZfaq Sucks the problem I have with the IS specifically the 350 is the same with the Nissan 370z they have outdated engines but are always pushed to be sold. Although there is a new Z and IS 500 is practically the new ISF but what about the weak V6. Also it's weird that the most expensive trim has less features in the back versus it's tech trim. Yeah the IS V6 is N/A so getting more HP requires more work but they could at least up date the engine or something. Most people I've seen in the Type S get a 0-60 in the mid to late 5 secs which is okay but it's heavy in the A6/A7/S6/S7 and 5 series range that you forget it's the size of a 5 series but inside is a 3 series.

@VonDarko 3 жыл бұрын

@KZfaq Sucks Yes upgrading this car with a down pipe and stuff makes it faster. That's obvious when they added carbon fiber and lighter wheels it does 0-60 in 5.24 to 5.29 secs. At the same time. You tune and upgrade the others you still have a slower car. Not to mention for 54k you have less features in the back versus it's competition outside of IS

Nice, the Type S was a full second quicker to 60 than your time in the Accord 2.0T, and *two* seconds quicker than your time the A-spec AWD.

@drones9667 3 жыл бұрын

You're comparing a 30k car to a 52k "performance" car. With a 22k difference in price, a one second difference isn't much. Dump 5k into the 2.0t accord and you'll have a car just as quick as the type-s for still, 15k+ less. Especially outside of performance the type-s missing features the accord has, which is a real shame. Type-s struggles because of its weight. Hopefully a tune really opens this car up. I was really hyped for this type-s return but it's such a let down to me. Slowest car in the segment. Brand new generation and already behind the competition.

@TheBreakfastLover 3 жыл бұрын

@@drones9667 you're not wrong, but you're forgetting that it's not just 1 second faster but also benefits from a double-wishbone suspension, AWD with a torque-vectoring rear axle AND adaptive dampers, all of which add weight but significantly improve handling. They could've easily gone with a Mcpherson strut, Honda's Real Time AWD, and standard shocks if they only cared about acceleration. But there's more to performance than just drag racing, you better learn that.
