Sigh Reflecting back 1 1/2 year later, i miss my ILX. Don't get me wrong the 2016 STI is just freaking amazing, but like any man or women who loves cars, i get a little attached. If i had the extra cash i'd buy another one and make it a project ride 😍. People say the ILX interior is dated but there are ways around it, i like it! ILX is a great car, DCT silky smooth like butter. Love the Feel of Acura Steering wheels. Check out my 2016 STI in my channel, Thanks everyone for viewing my videos...
To be honest it wasn't a clean fit, and this type R wing is not the original fit-up. But I'm very happy with the look, btw ordered mine through eBay, look for the Type R wing thats on a older civic NOT the current civics.
@Daniel Ramirez 2008 - 2011, it doest sit completely flush, i added enough 2 sided thick tape to even it out and sealed the gap with a Bond so no moisture gets in. If you look closely at my photos you can see. But im very happy with it. Eventhough you can see the seal still get many people lovin the Wing. Hope that helps...get a seal that matches your trunk color.
@@patrickguev No There is absolutely nothing wrong with the ILX, the DC Tranny one of the best in the industry back with the best and reliable Power train. The STI was just always my Dream car. I saw a used one in the lot with 50,000 km 2016 sport tech. So i was just curious, offered very high trade in value so why not. Sti is a power house for sure. However my co-workers liked my ilx better than the Sti. What i liked better on the ilx over the sti for sure are: DC Tranny, the steering wheel Feel, more options, the overall look(subjective).
I know this is late but for anyone reading, yes you have to drill holes. I believe it’s 3 per side (driver, passenger). Side skirts do not require drilling. Rear bumper kit also requires drilling.
@@smokescreen399 I will go to these extents, but every type r wing I look for has a different type of pillar that connects to the trunk though, that’s why I’m asking which one you got. Thanks!
How did u get those pops. I have the same exhaust set up as u but my car doesn't make any pops unless I'm almost out of gas and I've been driving for a very long time.
@@ryangargiulo9690 91 oct here in Canada i dont know what they call it in the USA, i Also have a AEM Short Ram Air intake, dont know if that makes a difference...
What year is the type R wing? I’m planning to get a carbon fiber but I can’t figure it out the year fitting. I’ve been looking for a spoiler but so far I haven’t got any luck finding one
You probably won't find any, yes the one I have on mine looks great but not the perfect fit. Spoilers are subjective everyone has their input so hard to say. You can try Carid, ebay,Amazon. Or your local shops that specialize in body kits and spoilers.
Yes front,side,rear are from factory Acura as an option. I bought my car from Acura and they put it on for me...I'm here in Canada 🇨🇦 probably built in the 🇺🇲
Short Ram? Just order AEM short off the previous generation of the ILX fits in the New 2019 and up. I ordered mine straight from the AEM website... or your local vendor as well. Super super easy install with the AEM Short Ram.
I removed the emblem, put a red vinyl wrap background and put the emblem back on. You can choose any color vinyl wrap as you please. You remove the cover from the trunk to gain access to the emblem, I broke a couple clips but super glued it... hope that helps
You can order it anywhere, ebay, Amazon or your local vendors. For the red acura badge background I got it free scraps from a local window tinting 3m business. Recommend going to your local vendor so you can see which one u like. Your only limited by your imagination lol
There not trim, you remove the panels and apply Carbon fiber vinyl warp with a heat gun. You have to wrap it and work it yourself or pay someone to do it for you. Search on Amazon or Ebay: Carbon Fiber Vinyl wrap. Again better to goto a vendor and see for yourself what patterns or textures or color you want to be sure you like it.
I'll reveal my secret. It's a factory badge, just took off the badge and layer in honda red vinyl wrap in the background and put the emblem back on. You gain access from the trunk to remove, FYI prob will break a clip so buy some industrial strength glue 😉 hope that helps.... shhh secret lol
Alana just go to your local muffler shop, tell them the type of sound your looking for. Magnaflow are designed to be quieter than most after market mufflers but has that low and rumbling tone. Tell them from your Cataylic converter to the muffler you want a straight pipe. I removed my resonator but that's up to you. Hope that helps...I have a free flowing Cataylic converter but I don't suggest it waste of money just keep ur factory one on or hollow it out which is another thing dont recommend, well the hollowing out part.
Was skeptical about the Type-R wing on an ILX.... But wow did this suprise me... Great look
the spoiler is such a great execution. in theory it seemed silly but it looks great on the ilx. dope vid man

looks great, that wing just not my type, id much rather have the a spec spoiler, but ur car is nice man nice build
Nice looking car bro 1000 thumps up
I will say, it sounds really good.
Why does the spoiler look so good, you’d expect it to look so tacky
The BEST LOOKING ILX. Looks great with the wing. Great job. Only missing is a nice front lip kit to complete the look.
After market parts for the 2019 ilx very hard to find, sadly, unlike the Civics lol. Especially in 🇨🇦...
@@smokescreen399 understandable lol. Just give it a time. 😊👍
Where did you find the Eibach pro kit springs? I cant seem to find it for my 2019.
I really like your car to where I'm thinking of buying one. I wish I could see a more in depth video of the car with your existing mods on it
I dont wanna over do it with mods, cus of warranty and plus wanna keep it clean. Plus not too aftermarket parts
@@smokescreen399I just saw Acura stopped making manual transmission since 2016... I'm so pissed. I really love the design of the remodel.
@@davidcho9948 I've been driving Stick all my life however i really like the DCT in the ILX. So silky Smooth, Love it !!!
This interior lights and resonator delete will be coming to my 2016 ILX very soon looks and sounds sexy
Now this is incredible. I love what you did to it. Do you think the type r wing can fit on a 2016 ilx? Please let me know.
To be honest it wasn't a clean fit, and this type R wing is not the original fit-up. But I'm very happy with the look, btw ordered mine through eBay, look for the Type R wing thats on a older civic NOT the current civics.
@@smokescreen399 Oh ok, thank you soo much, I think your wing looks perfect regardless. I appreciate it, I'll keep that in mind. Much love.
Smokescreen how much older are we talking cause I have a 2016 as well
Btw andres did you do the wing yet if so how did it fit

Yes I sold it to Go Nissan, traded it in for 2016 STI. Xdgamer hope ur bro enjoying it. Almost cried when I traded it in lol 😆
Why did you trade it ? Anything wrong with the Acura for making that move ?

Did you have to drill holes into the front bumper for the aspec kit?
Wouldn't know, it came like that, part of the purchase deal...
I know this is late but for anyone reading, yes you have to drill holes. I believe it’s 3 per side (driver, passenger). Side skirts do not require drilling. Rear bumper kit also requires drilling.
Hey, looking to add the same spoiler to my 21 ILX but looking for a carbon fiber one. Any recommendations or do you have a link for the one you got?
Unfortunately they don't offer much parts for ilx, I had mod my wing to force fit it.
@@smokescreen399 I will go to these extents, but every type r wing I look for has a different type of pillar that connects to the trunk though, that’s why I’m asking which one you got. Thanks!

Did you remove your resonator? I had mine removed and noticed right away the crackles...
What octane gas do you run

Where can you get this body kit? Been looking everywhere
pretty sure you can get it through an acura dealership. been curious myself.
I have a Acura ILX Aspec. I just could not find any spoilers that fit my car well, any recommendations?
You probably won't find any, yes the one I have on mine looks great but not the perfect fit. Spoilers are subjective everyone has their input so hard to say. You can try Carid, ebay,Amazon. Or your local shops that specialize in body kits and spoilers.

@@ericpt524 no idea I got them to include when I bought it lol
@@smokescreen399 how much you get the car in total? and when you got the car did it void your warranty when you installed the new exhaust?
Hi, do you think the spoiler fit to my Nissan Sentra 2018??
Not sure will have to look at the shape of the trunk and rear...
nice ride! can you send me link for your CIA? im trying to look for a cold air intake that does not require bumper removal. Thanksss

Good work bro ✊🏽💯 I have the 2016 ILX I will be getting a muffler delete on it I hate hidden exhaust

What’s the part number of the muffler?

What are the rims?
Here in Canada growing up, we called steel wheels - Rims or Mags
Ugg Sorry totally misinterpret that, just some no name Rims lol
That’s actually clean
I really hate that spoiler ngl
Where did you get front lip
Factory from Acura
ILX is a great car. But the car is so slow.
That shopping cart spoiler is gotta go! Same goes to the rims and red Acura badge. You just straight ricer your car. 🤮🤮🤮
You said it all right there
Sound tight right about now
