Hood Vents
Most of you won't like it. I like it.
There's no function. It's just looks which is my style. Right now it's not completely on. I just layed it on the hood just to take pics. I'll finalize the add on this weekend. It should be flushed with the hood when its all done.

I'm not that opposed to non-fuctional hood scoops but I'm not feeling those particular scoops. They're kind of small for that sized hood.

Are you putting hood vents on an otherwise stock TSX?

This will be interesting.

considering your list of mods which seem legit, i don't know why you'd tack on some fake air vents.

someone mentioned that there are plans for supercharging the 09's in another thread on the forum. if it's true, just wait for some company to make an actual vented hood, like the J's one for the 1st gens.

also, unless your LEDs plan to look like factory OEM from audi, i'd abort that as well.

but it is your car, so happy modding.

this is just temporary until a decent hood replacement comes out. i really like the red mugen hood. so this is the closest i can come to it without having to cut into the OEM hood.

we all have different styles.

Hey Man,

It is your TSX, but with the grill and the hood vents, it has really de-graded the style of your TSX.
