Wait is over….I’m officially a TSX owner!!!

Woooohoooo!!!!....got a call around noon today from my sales rep to tell me my 2006 Carbon Gray Pearl TSX has arrived in the dealership. Told my boss I’m taking off early from work in the afternoon, went to the dealership to finalize/sign all documentation….took advantage of the financing for 3.9 percent @ 48 mos. offered through Acura. He showed my TSX in the bay (wow!!! she is a beauty) being prep for customer delivery/pick up (PDI) and installation of the wing spoiler, pro pack and clear bra. I will pick up the car tomorrow after work, my friend will take me to the dealership and wants to check it out. I’m so excited….don’t know if I’ll be able to sleep tonight and yes I'll be the envy of the neigborhood....first one to have a TSX in the garage.

P.S.
I would like to thank all the people here for all the info and feedback you shared especially to newbies like me. The car will stay mostly stock may replace the wheels with some nice aftermarket ones in the near future.

I got it for 28,760 +TTL, I have the clear bra included in the deal as well as the protection package or pro pack (mud guards, trunk tray and wheel locks) and wing spoiler. Their normal charge for the clear bra is $399.00

Nice! Sounds just like mine (5AT w/Navi). Just picked ours up from dealer on Monday as they had it sent out for tint - 35% all around and clear bra.

Now go place your order at www.zainostore.com so you keep her looking awesome. Thats what I did on Monday, product is due at my house today, cant wait to give it a try.

Congrats!

I got the Ebony interior....qtz interior look sharp too I was kind of leaning towards it or I should have chosen it when I was ordering the car but oh well either one is fine with me.

Thanks for the info....I read a lot of info on zaino here, will pick up a California car duster also (should have bought one a long time ago for use with my other vehicles). Additionally I've decided to get the all season floormats will buy it from their parts dept when I pick up the car.

Congrats on the car. Great color choice. I got the exact same color with Navi and the rear spoiler at the begining of January. I smile everytime I get in, and I want to keep driving and never get out! Enjoy

Okay here are the photos as promise taken today at around 5:30pm....I was going to take some pictures yesterday but a sad thing happen. The family (dog) and best friend a yellow labrador got out of the house and ran away....my dog has been with the family for 8 years (since he was a puppy) for some reason he got out of the house and ran away. Spent the late afternoon till nightime looking for him but no luck, reported the missing dog to the animal shelter in case they may find him. So sad it will be remembered as the day I took home the TSX the same time I lost him. Well 'nuff of my soap box......camera use for taking photos - Sony DSC-W7 (7.2 megapixels).

From a fellow service member myself (currently serving), us military people have great choices in cars. Need I might add, your color was the original choice of color I wanted.

True....back when I was stationed in Germany (late 80s), I was looking at MB, Volvo and BMW but I was just an E-4 back then so I could not afford it. Upon returning back to the States I got a brand new 90 Honda Accord and fell in love with Honda products ever since.
