There were lots of good deals on leftover '04 TSXs. In many places it is hard to get '05s much below MRSP. Some people claim to be picking up '05s for less than $26k but there are always bullsh*****s on the internet.

IIRC the '05 TSX has a few nice extra features, like power seats for the passenger, heated door mirrors, and illuminated steering wheel radio/cruise control buttons. Not sure if its worth paying close to MSRP for those features though.
This is what you need next (scroll to the bottom to see it):

The SEMA TSX puts out 240hp (at the crank) with the Supercharger. Not sure if Comptech can tweak out anymore power before they release it.
Supposedly with the 2007 refresh for the TSX, Acura will add a Type S model or will boost horsepower to at least NA 240hp. I'd imagine the 2.4L i4 is capable of at least 240 NA with some simple ECU tweaks and perhaps a bump in compression. From what I'm told, the TSX's ECU is straight out of the i4 Honda Accord and could easily make more power with some ECU tweaking.
In any case, nice car! I'll be watching carefully to see what the refresh brings to the TSX which is probably around when I'll be looking to replace my TL.

The V6 Accord is a great bargain in this class. However, it isn't nearly as nimble as the TSX, it is a bigger car, it doesn't look as nice, and it doesn't quite have all the options a TSX has. Really, they're totally different cars..

What does this center cap belong to? At first I thought the car came with those wheels, but then I looked at the Honda wheels in the pictures.
