And for a fun change, search "Gay Top Gun" on YouTube and view the top match...it's really great and not really workplace inappropriate.

You can't make a statement like that in this thread and not post pics...









P.S.: Hey, is that 1,000 posts on Excited's thread?

Hey welcome back! Over 1000 posts on your thread! Quite the milestone!

When you're not as busy, will you post some pics? your pics are always great, so it would be nice to see more recent shots!

I have been continueing to wash my Escape a few times a week, but I have been so busy that I have not found the time to clay, polish and wax it. When I do I will post some more pics.

I have to give an atta boy to my dealer, West Side Acura. I was in more a schedule A maintenance check (oil change and tire rotation) and a few moments after they lifted up my TSX I got a call from work and I needed to get back to the office right away and told them. Before I could finish my phone call to work they raced out with the car, they had done the oil change but not the tire rotation. The young woman came out with the keys and said go, don't worry about the oil change it is on the house. I was able to get to work in time to deal with the problem.

That was pretty good of them.

It is pretty neat how this thread has continued. It is inspiring me to detail my beloved TSX.

I would like to learn more about this spoiler. Is it an M3 lip spoiler and how well does the colour match.

I have been waiting for one since day 1.

Here's pics. This would be the second time I've waxed it in the month and a half I've had the car.
Looks amazing

The rburns spoiler has arrived in RBP, and the color match is near 100% (see the link for a couple of quick snaps...)

Length is, as expected, about a 1/4" short at both ends. I installed it quick and dirty and elected to match the curve of the trunk versus trying to get the ends parallel to the trank edge openings. It still looks great, IMHO.

Highly recommend this product to the RBP community!

Sorry the snaps are so small....I'm not real good at this...

The e-Bay store is "Spoiler and Wing King". The e-mail address is "rburns6153@aol.com". Just look for the "Acura RSX, TSX, TL painted M3 lip spoiler"...cost is $60 with shipping.

The color code is off in his listing (Has "B536M Royal Blue), but he knows what RBP is as you could see. I just added a note to my paypal purchase listing RBP/B-536P as the color spoiler requested...he whipped it out fast. If FedEx hadn't done something like running the box over with a truck I would have had the spoiler very quickly.

^^^ Yup - if you do an e-bay search on "TSX lip spoiler" you'll hit it. Just be sure to make a note of the paint code. You don't enter it until the last step of the purchase process, so if you feel like you're going through a lot of payment screens, you will. But the final page allows you to enter comments, which is where you'll put the code.

And wouldn't you know, I missed the 1011th post by one. Rats.

Black and Blue

I couldn't help but notice two other TSX's parked next to me at work yesterday when I was about to leave. Can you tell which one is the RBP (mine)?



Believe it or not, from left-to-right:
'04 Arctic Blue Metallic, '06/'07 Nighthawk Black Pearl, '06 Royal Blue Pearl.

Amazing how dark the RBP can look sometimes. It looks the same as the NBP. That's one of the things I love about this color. It's always something different.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture. It was taken with my Treo (phone). It was all I had at the time, but I was still compelled to take the shot.

That's what I love about RBP as well. It is always something different. I especially love the deep rich blue colour.

I know! I was about to pull out of my spot and thought to myself, "damn, when is THIS ever going to happen again?". So I got out of the car and took the shot with my phone. Too bad I don't have an iPhone.

Scoreboard...page 42

But for real. An update on the RBP M3 style spoiler I installed a little while ago. The rains have pounded it, the sun has tried to melt it, and I've driven fast in both conditions with no movement or slipage. Color is still excellent match...looks like a winner for just $60!

It's good to hear. I haven't ordered mine yet, I have been a little tentative.

I purchased a new cell phone and just wanted to say that the Motorola MOTOKRZR works very well with the TSX.

Jump in dude...the pix link a page or so back is still good and you can see how it looks. I disregarded their "installation" instructions and did what looked right. Measured the spoiler...put a piece of tape on the back (as mounted on the vehicle) with a line in the measured middle...cut the paper covering the tape in the middle and peeled back about 6" each way...eyeballed the middle tape mark with the Acura logo and positioned on the trunk as it "looked right"...then quick gander from the side, press down to secure...peel back the tape a bit and place the spoiler where it looks right...press down more...voila!

I would use slightly different words, but the Royal Blue Pearl TSX is awesome.

I finally did a really good job spiffing up the inside of my TSX and it still looks like new. I'm still knocking wood that I still do not have any door dings yet, although smart parking helps with the luck.

Other than the seat squeak that got fixed, I have had zero problems with the TSX. I am very very pleased with Acura quality.

I still gets lots of compliments about the car and about the colour. I will be making a road trip to BC in October and hopefully we take some good pics that I will post. I purchased a new camera so hopefully I can produce some quality photographs.
