Hey whats up guys and gals. I've been checking out this forum for about 2 weeks now. I currently have a base auto RSX and i'm very interested in the TSX. Anyways, on a website I saw a dealer selling a used light blue TSX. I didn't know they made this color for the TSX? I tried building a TSX on acura.com and they dont have the light blue color as an option? Is this a custom paint job? Help this noob out please

I think they call that Meteor Silver Metallic (MSM for short)

Thanks for the replys! So its called meteor silver? Its a nice color. Since I havent seen that color in person, Im guessing theres just a hint of light blue?

xizor

just FYI, its a baby bluish color and described by my dealer as a "chick color".

fabpaul

LOL, damn! It's a pretty rare color, thats what intrigued me about it.

we might call you a 'girlie man'


j/k - hehe

they made this color on a latest model prelude also. it's funny b/c i know someone who has that prelude and it's a girl.

i think the color is nice, but it does look somewhat peculiar on a tsx imo.

you can be the first one with a modified MSM, that'll be cool

If you are interested in this color, you better hurry up and buy one because I dont think they will be around for '05 (I migth be wrong about this so take it with a grain of salt).

TSX Hokie

Before you buy this color TSX, ask yourself the following question:

Do you have a penis?

If yes, then you might want to steer clear.

Guys who buy this color probably have the biggest ones.

I had a MSM loaner for like 3 weeks. During that time, it was called 'cute' twice and one woman asked me if I worked for Mary Kay.

Why thanks, fdl. How'd ya know?

I like MSM because:
1. My last several cars have been dark and I wanted something easier to keep looking good. This color is light like silver, but it is less common, and does have a hint of something in it - in this case blue.
2. It's not common.
3. When it's in the sun (which we have a lot of in Charleston) it takes on kind of a glow. Yeah, I know. That sounds :ghey: , but it really looks nice.
4. With the addition of a front spoiler and G-Games 77S wheels, it looks like no other TSX I've seen.

Down side: It's hard to figure out what wheels look best with it. took me a couple of months.

fabpaul - If you like it, buy it. No one's ever asked me if I work for Mary Kay.

landerso

Oh yeah, I keep meaning to post pictures since I added the wheels. It'll happen this weekend I promise.

I've had girls (including my GF) call my TSX cute, and I wouldn't say that CG is a girly color. I think it's more the shape/size of the car than the color.

jlukja

Its my wife's favorite color on the TSX.

I currently own a MSM 6 speed non navi. Everybody who sees it tells me how much they like it. I like it because it is not to common. All of the other colors for the TSX are pretty common. Also I would be super happy if Acura decided not to sell that color anymore. I like to have things that a little different than everyone else. I do not know if anybody has noticed but I am starting to see a lot of high end cars (BMW,Audi,Benz,Porsche) being painted in a similar color. I will try to post a pic of my hooptie this weekend.

I concur

It was interesting because I had never seen a MSM TSX before and when I took a trip to Baltimore I saw three TSXs and they were all MSM... I was very suprised as I never thought the color was so blueish... still looks decent though..

On a side note I had to see at least 8-10 TLs too

I kinda dig that color w/ quart interior

About two weeks ago I got a TSX, 5AT, navi, in meteor silver metalic. I love the car and love the color. Here's a pic:
