Adam's 2005 TSX

Adam Pascual from Miami, FL is the proud owner of this 2005 Acura Tsx. It took Adam about 3 months to completely finish his project, and completed it with a set of CCW Im5ts and Airtekk air suspension, a cI9 Honda grill, and an Aspec front lip.

Adam has always admired the Tsx and dreamed of getting a 4 door to experiment with. After finally finishing this project, Adam can look back and say he didn't face any major obstacles during his build, but is looking forward to possibly modifying the interior to black and giving it a VIP style, adding navigation, a euro r grill, and new headlights. His favorite places for inspiration and parts are Craigslist, Stance Works, and Tsxclub.

Dream car: Although his dream car is a Henessey Venom GT

Currently playing in Adam's headphones: Rich Friday by French Montana

Adam would like to say a special thanks to Onpoint Pictures (Matt Gomez), Crystal love, Jezsiel Rodriguez, and Silvio de la Nuez.

Black Beauty

David Gutierrez from Weston, FL never thought he’d own a car like this one. This head turning, street hugging black beauty has come a long way in the hands of David.

David has always had a passion for cars and was quite the artist growing up, drawing Supras and shading in beastly body kits. Since he was 8 years old, David just knew that customizations were his thing. After attending Accord Florida Meet 2011 (AFM 2011) and he quickly joined My8thGen.com. It’s safe to say that David was meant for this black beauty and he has all his hard work to prove it!

Switching from his beastly pencil models, David spent a total of 1 year getting this 2008 Accord LX Honda beauty to ride how he wanted it. Overcoming the common obstacle of how to pay for his mods, David worked full-time (sometimes overtime) while he was a student to make sure he could get the build he wanted. In addition, like any worried Mother, his Mom wanted to make sure he was investing his money wisely and would let him borrow her car if he was having mechanical issues. (we say, “Well done!”)

David started off following the crowd; buying the same old parts and doing the same old mods you see everywhere. Eventually, he got to a point where he knew he had to be different. Switching up his game plan, David has done a number of custom mods.

V6 front and rear conversion
OEM V6 fog lights with custom-made amber film
Mugen grill

Red tinted tail lights
Roof spoiler
Trunk lid spoiler
Front and rear Modulo lip kit
Weathertech window visors
Volk GT-V 19x9.5 +30 Front and 19x10.5 +24 Rear, custom painted
Falken 452 tires

Interior:

Pioneer Double Din AVH-P4300DVD
Weathertech Floor Liners
Amber ambient lights
Alpine Type-R Components and coaxial
2 12" Alpine Type-R Subwoofer with custom-made enclosure
Full LED conversion

Performance:

Megan EZ Coilovers
SPC 3-piece rear arms
Custom adapted RBC Intake Manifold
K&N Short Ram Intake
UR Front Strut Bar
UR 19mm Sway Bar
EBC Blackdash rotors
Akebono Brake pads
Fully custom dual exhaust with Magnaflow tips and mufflers

Finally arriving at his final milestone, David’s favorite sites to use while completing his mods were ThrowDownPerformance.com and Amazon.com. Of course, he had the support of his girlfriend, who attended every meet with him. In the future, he plans to build a classic muscle car with his girlfriend’s dad – most likely a 66-69 Mustang. (Talk about a beauty!) His thoughts… “A true lover of cars does not stick to only one kind; they are always open to any new thoughts.”

Shout outs: “I would like to thank the whole My8thgen.com community for their help and support. They were my first inspiration and have always been there whenever I have had a problem. Likewise, I would like to thank Luis, who helped me “invest my money wisely” so my Mom wouldn’t worry. Finally, to my friend Boback, who let me order and ship parts to his house, keep my parts, work on my car and wash my car at his house on a weekly basis.”
