You know, on the 04-05 TSX, the wiper arms sure do get annoying to look at after a while. They are not horrible, but once you see them you can't un-see them. I first really noticed them at the track where you are taking in so much information any bit of clutter or static really digs in and bugs you.

Many people feel like a set of special tools, a friend, and complicated directions being coordinated and shouted is needed to properly bleed a braking system. Maybe this was true in the past, but modern Honda and Acura cars are done best all by yourself.

One of the most desired mods on a TSX is switching the headlamps for JDM parts because they remove the amber corner lenses in favor of units that are more subtle colors and come without reflectors. There are two different lamp fitments for 1g TSXs; 04-05 and 06-08. Inside we outline the differences and how to convert from one to the other.
