Anyone have the quartz material? Just wondering if it holds up as good or better than the Ebony.

Its look sharp when new, but thinking the long-term imperfections would be easily seen.

Also, does the quartz look at all "cheap" to you when compared to the ebony?

No matter which color you pick, you'll have to be ready to do some work to keep it looking good.

Ebony has the advantage that it won't stain as easily as some of the lighter colors (from wearing jeans for example).

Every color will fade sooner or later.

Quartz owners:

I have an 06 with quartz, I wouldn't mind seeing an 04/05 with the quartz to see how it looks after a few years.

I wanted the ebony and my wife wanted the quartz, she won out because it was her car. We had an 05 loaner with the ebony and tinted windows and the car was just way too dark inside. It felt like I was sitting in a cave looking out. The quartz with black interior trim and black floor mats provided the best mix of colors for us.

I have an 04 with quartz and it still looks great! It does have a scratch or nick here and there, but overall is in great shape. Since it's a lighter color, I can't tell if it has faded. I use 303 on the dash and plastic. Sorry, no recent pics of the interior right now.

Over 2.5 years on my '04 and it still looks great. The drivers seat gets almost all the use, but it still looks good. I clean & condition using Lexol on a regular basis.

quartz here.. about 1 year.. still looks great/fine. the driver/passenger seats have developed creases.... but thats to be expected with all leather seats.

i condition/wash the leather every 4 months with Lexol.

I have an '04 Quartz, with 50,000 miles on it. The interior looks great. The quartz has worn very well.

I'd definitely go for this interior color again. In fact, I've been thinking about an RDX for my next car, but am disappointed that you can't get the quartz interior in that vehicle.

Nice - 303 Aero is the best product out there....just so pricey. I just switched to EagleOne last month - only 1/3 the cost, but 303 is top of the line.

Reason I ask about the quartz is that I am thinking about upgrading from my 05 tsx - I have the CGP/Ebony.

Thanks - I viewed the quartz while servicing my TSX today at Acura. I thought it looked fantastic...

Great, yes I use lexol too (like a freak). I used to top it off with Aerospace 303 but too pricey...

Thanks for the follow-up.
