can't decide between PWP and ABP

i can't decide between PWP or ABP
i've seen both and there are really nice rides from the members here
both look good with the OEM kit
i think PWP looks better if your going stock
but i'm gonna get the OEM kit (spoilerless)
ABP is confirmed as an 05 color for canada correct?
i have yet to see the ABP in person, only the PWP and a few other colors
man i can't decide
i might get ABP since its a discontinued color on the RSX and it reminds me more of a euro R
but then again PWP looks classy and sharp
argh....

does abp even come to canada?

well, i'm biased of course, i love pwp.

it's a cleaner look, abp is a more aggressive look.

both look good modified.

anything except that ugly cg color

from what i've been told and thats what my dealer said for 05
well if there is no ABP for 05 then obviously u know what i'm getting...
there all ebony interior expect for red right? which is discontinued in 05?
think ABP will look good with the silver Type R rims?
PWP with white Type R rims looks hot

There is ABP and CG is Canada for 05. I'd still go with the PWP though.

And no Black also comes with Parchment only in Canada. Not sure if thats still the case for 05. Makes no sense IMO.

NBP is offered with ebony leather for 05.
I saw a CG in richmond, BC today!

but....PWP/ebony rocks.

Finally there are more colours for people to choose from so not every tsx i see is PWP and SSM.


i think they're putting the 05 tsx in the acura.com site. since it's unavailable right now.

xizor, nice ride

I'm not a big fan of PWP, but after looking at the first pic...
Tell me more about the lip spoiler, is it originally for the M3? I know I read about people using M3 lip spoilers on the TSX in an earlier thread... but never saw a pic of the finished job.

In Canada, isn't it Indigo Blue Pearl (IBP)? It seems much darker/bluer than ABP we have here in the states. I love IBP, but ABP seems washed a bit.

Anyway, it was PWP / parchment for me!
