I was hoping bigger wheels would help but it has more wheel gap than Maximas. It needs a drop bad, then drop it into a well or cave.
I know, this is a TSX topic. How did the TL, LS400, ISF and all that get introduced? None of those cars are direct competitors to the TSX.

As for the TSX pictured. I actually like the rear and side view with the added body kit. Front end is still a little too blocky for me though, but I'm sure a nice aftermarket body kit with full bumper cover will tone the car down and look better.

Most everyone introduces a 'sports' package because they know some sucker will buy it. But most car enthusiast know better that for the cost of the 'sports' package, you can actually buy parts that's more worthwhile (disregard warranty)

Except in the case of the BMW Sports Package. I do have to say it is a must for me at least. Not really the sports tuned suspension, but the other things like the staggered rims and one of the most important for me is the sports seats.

BMW sports package do make a difference. After all, BMW is Performance first, then Luxury. Huge difference driving a regular E39 540 and 540 with the sports package. I wish Lexus offered sports package that makes some kind of difference.

I made a post about the IS-F and this having similar front ends.
