The color looks nice, congrats on the TSX

Gibson, who would like to see some day shots of the car

It's all good, Jeff. Bottom line: You're getting the car and you're going to love it.

You know the funny thing, Today, I just finally removed the paper mat sitting on my all weather mats. It has been dry and a little dusty here so I left it in and only remove it today when things got a little wetter.

I really like your parchment interior. The contrast does look good. I opted for the ebony because it was my favourite and I thought that it might stay cleaner over the long run but your parchment does look super as well.

Your partner looks happier today!

Congrats again and great looking RBP!!!

NICE CAR!

That parchment interior looks great.

That wood simulated plastic looks different than my 2005 TSX PWP with parchment interior. Is that also new for 2006?

kboosman00

Very nice man... Congrats and welcome!!!

psteng19

Is that you?
Hard to tell in the pic but you look closer to 30 than 23.
I'm the opposite, I look like I'm 16 but I'm 24

bradykp

just cause i have a little scruff doesnt mean i'm 30.

fuckleberry

whose car is it anyway, gf or you ?

JohnnyCNote

Mine arrived at the dealer today, same color, but black interior. I have to wait 'til Saturday to get it, however, because I get off work late. It's not a big problem - sort of an Xmas present (one I'll be paying off for a few years). Pix to come.....

bradykp

officially it's her car, since she drives to work, and i take the train into the city. but anytime we go anywhere together, i end up driving. so it's sorta "ours".

i did most of the legwork researching the car, but that's because i'm insane. i contacted most of the dealers. she works long days, so her schedule makes it tough for her to haggle. her personality makes it tougher! so i'm "driver 2" and i'm ok with that!

i introduced her to the TSX, i feel like i should be the best man, or bridesmaid, or something.

fuckleberry

well get her in here then !

:just_make_sure_she_stays_outta_rambling:

bradykp

she's not into the whole message board thing. but maybe she'll make some appearances. who knows. i signed her up on the new owner list under my screename.

excited

Congrats and great colour choice!!

It will be a great Christmas present. The question on Christmas day is where will you spend most of your day. By the tree or in the TSX?

Congrats again.

Thanks! I got the car instead of a tree. I might drive down to Brooksville (north of Tampa) so we can deliver my mother's '94 Integra to my brother. She bought my '01 Altima - we're doing the musical car thing. At least this way we all know what we're getting. My brother in particular needs a more economical car. He's got an old Suburban that gets rotten mileage and a motorcycle, which gets much better mileage, but it's not so great when it rains or he needs to haul something.....

JeffS

Thanks and very true. I do love the silver/quartz combo and the TSX is so me. So it is a match made in Japan. Yeah, Santa comes tomorrow morning!!!

TSXmeister

Thanks for the pics....car really look sharp, can't wait to get mine (it will be around March/April). I'm considering getting that color also beside the arctic blue glacier.

xjdmb16a2six

nice pics of the gf and the car.

playdoh

sweeeeeeeet

bradykp

daytime pics, finally, to come probably by tonight!!!

Cgove1

Exact same color combo I've ordered. Hoping mine comes in within the next 3 weeks. I also ordered the wood "look" steering wheel and A-Spec package. Other then that it's identical.

JOZMAN

nice pix man of your girl... i mean the car...yeah..the car.

jmon

Is there purple in that
rbp or is it just a dark blue?

bradykp

purple does show in certain lights. it's a beautiful thing. it mostly looks like navy.

i've been trying to get some daytime pics, but yesterday it was dark all day, pretty crappy.
will try this weekend.

bradykp

First handwashing complete.....i'll take some pics while it's still light out, but it's very hazy.

FYI....Stoner's Invisible Glass is amazing...i recommend all to go get it now!

Anyone have any good ideas for something to clean the wheels with? i have a wheel face brush, which is nice, but it doesnt get behind the spokes, right where the meet the wheel. This is where most break dust seems to accumulate. anything other than a q-tip?

I always remove my wheels for the best cleaning.

This link provides a lot of details.

bradykp

The first two are with the flash on and didn't come out too well.

The first shot of the steering wheel is also with flash.

The steering wheel looks excellent with the Lexol Cleaner and Conditioner applied, can't wait to put it on the rest of the car!

The horn....that's vinyl right, and not leather? I'm pretty sure, but not 100%

Damn, wish i could get a sunny day out here!

So far, 2 possible "scratches" one on the front (i think it's just bug guts though and will find out when i buy bug and tar removed). the second is on the driver side rear passenger door, actually right above the door, near the rear windshield. but i think it's more of a pronounced swirl mark that will disappear with a wax....if only the time existed....

Any chance of resizing the pics to 640 x 480?

As you know i am partial to the colour.



Excited

bradykp

i didnt realize how big they were! i'll try now.

This RBP is just totally gorgeous! I love how it looks with the parchment interior.

Now I just need to see the new green and light blue colors! Pics anyone?

P.S. It's a good thing that I have DSL! LOL

bradykp

sorry for the previous post. if there's a way for the moderators to delete it, that'd be great, as the bandwith is gonna kill the page.

bradykp,
I edited your earlier post and changed the huge pics to links.

excited

Good looking pics. The colour sure changes with the light. Yours does have a purple look to it. Pics I took today, (but can't post because of imageshack upgrades,) is definately a darker blue.



Excited

bradykp

go to imageshack.us instead of imageshack.com

excited

That's where I go. The pictures I hosted tonight I cannot access and I get this message:

Database maintenance in progress. Your uploaded images are recorded, but will not be seen during this maintenance. Things will return to normal in at 12 PM PST tomorrow.

bradykp

i kept getting odd messages too. oh well. wait it out, they'll fix it soon enough.

sevans28

Are those rotors rusted or is there something screwy with the image color?

swirlie

Hehe, your girl looks rather bored standing there.

Damnit, I wish the weather here would clear so I can give mine a good washing! Seeing how beautiful that looks is making me jealous.

xjdmb16a2six

wow that color is so beautiful in the day.

bradykp

the rotors are not rusted, pretty sure that's just the color of them. that's a pic of the front rotor, isn't everyone else's that color also?

bradykp

oh she was just waiting to go to the mall. not bored. it was pretty cold when i washed it, but i sucked it up and did it. it rained last night, so most of the beauty is gone now. but this weekend will bring another, more detailed washing.
