last pics of the year

heres some last pics for the year. I took it to a friend of mine to detail to end the year. He does great work, and after 9 hours of detailing, this was the final product. I would say what he used, but i'm not sure.....i know the wax was swissvax crystal rock, but and he conditioned the leather with swissvax leather milk. Thanks to todd at trendy auto salon....heres some of the products he sells. www.detailemporium.com
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

No...from what I read they are supposed to be coming out with a 2 door TSX.

I think Acura is dropping the RSX in the US market...but I don't know why. (Bad move if you ask me) (And don't ask me where I got that...it was in a couple threads)

Uh Acura dropped the RSX in 2007. I haven't heard anything about a 2-door TSX (or TL for that matter), but Honda has shown they're going in a more conservative direction with the possible discontinuation of the S2000 and on-and-off-again rumors of the next-gen NSX.

I wouldn't hold my breath on Honda making coupes for the foreseeable future other than from the Civic and Accord lines.

I just heard tonight that the S2000 is officially cancelled after 2009.

Depending on who you talk to or what you read...NSX is a no go and also is their 8 cylinder motor....lame.

Never was a two door TL in the picture but there was supposed to be a two door TSX.

I'll try to find the article.

Not sure what Honda is doing but I think they are screwing it up...they are loosing out on a serious chunk of the market.

And on the RSX...I stand corrected.

^ cool. thanks for the tip. i'm actually debating what to do with some extra money i have (https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-tsx-2004-2008-124/money-burn-704443/).

sorry for the threadjack, but do you guys know of reputable shops locally that can install rear sway bars and pulleys? eurosport says they can. who do you guys go to? also, since you guys know the condition of our roads, would you guys recommend rsb with oem suspension?

OMFG ... I would pay $ for someone to do that to my (almost) 3 year old car. I presume he does clay barring where needed, etc?

It's not just looks, either ... doing this helps protect the finish, and IMHO ... in the long run improves resale value.
