Hey everyone, I'm from Toronto, Canada. Seems like there are a lot of Canucks already on this forum. I currently have a 2005 TSX but I'm itching to get my hands on a TLX. I probably won't actually get one for a couple of years though. First of all, my TSX is modified quite a bit and I'm not ready to get rid of it yet. Secondly, as much as I want a TLX now, I want to wait and see if future model years will have features that I wouldn't want to miss out on. If they come out with a Type S, for example, I'd probably have to get that one.
Here's some pics of my TSX in case anyone's interested. I still love it but its lack of tech is really dating the car.
About the Honda questions, I just replaced my front grille and rear emblem with JDM equivalents. As some have already mentioned, the first generation TSX was sold as the Honda Accord everywhere else in the world outside of North America, with the most popular being the Accord Euro R, available only in Japan.
A lot of TSX owners do this conversion just to be different from all the other TSXs out there. I've actually switched back to my Acura grille and I definitely wouldn't put Honda emblems on a TLX. The TLX was designed and built in the US and it just wouldn't make sense. My TSX, however, was designed and built in Japan, and simply rebadged an Acura in North America.
I like the subtlety with your mods, they are more about substance and less about "look at me" flash. I have seen too many that are no longer stylish but just ugly here on the west coast. Nicely done, including the Honda badges.

Thanks. I really appreciate that. I like to be unique just as much as the next guy but I'll never do something just to be different and stand out. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. That's my motto when it comes to modding.
Just purchased a 2012 TSX, 4 cyl, base, 5 sp auto, with a bit over 147K on the odometer. It has a couple of things wrong but nothing major.
I'll be asking questions and looking up things mostly about maintenance peculiar to the car.
Last car was an Elantra, prior to that a Wrangler, Cherokee, Suzuki SV-650, and Dodge pickup. All older than 2010.
Used Carvana to buy a 2016 TLX V6 base model with dark brown leather seats. Finally feeling confident taking on the hills in my Southern city and driving clients around.
Look...
Evening all, thanks for the add! I'm driving a 2016 TLX Tech I love it! The 9 speed tranny makes me feel like a milkshake sometimes, but cruising on the highways and back roads is exhilarating!!
Recently bought a 2016 TLX SH-AWD off lease with 14,300 miles on it. Got rid of my 2008 BMW 135i w/133,000 miles, was too expensive to maintain.
I'm hoping for Honda reliability with the TLX. Had 3 BMW's but as they age the cost to keep them going is expensive.
I've only had the TLX about a...
