My New '05 TSX w/Navi
Hello Y'all. I've been browsing the forums here for quite some time now, and have finally decided to enter my first post. I bought my '05 TSX w/Navi on 9/16, almost right after I saw how the '06 looked. Though I would love the memory seats, bluetooth, and small power boost, I just didn't like the new look and couldn't let an awesome deal pass. Plus, I got $1600 more for my trade-in at Tustin Acura than any other dealer. It's still a work in progress so I'm sure everyone here will say, "Definitely needs a drop!"

Less than a month later, added some old 17" Nakayama Phantoms from a previous car, got my first wax, then took off to Vegas!

For some reason, I always pick the worst times to take photos. I just ordered a lip spoiler from XenonSpecialists on eBay, so maybe after I put it on, I'll have better photos.

Thanks. I referred 2 people to the same salesman within a couple of weeks after my purchase.

2. the 06 looked funny.

Also, your tint looks cool. Would you be able to recommend your tint guy to me?
Thanks!

My tint guy is Sonny's Tint in Westminster. I'll get u some more info once I get home. Currently at work. It was $120 for dark tint all around, w/lifetime warranty. Any bubbles or scratches, just take it back and he'll do it @ no charge. 5 of my brothers go there too.

Actually, surprisingly, I don't agree with Vanos about the wheels you have now. SirTodd, keep them on!
Also, didja know that we're having a SoCal meet this weekend up in Pasadena?

Well, the wheels came off a 2002 Mazda Protege5 which had 215/40/17 tires. When I first put them on the TSX, it did look a lil' weird to me just because our tires are 215/50/17s. They looked too fat. But in the end, I still liked them more than stock and all of my buddies do too.
I'm planning on getting either the A-Spec suspension or the Eibach Pro-Kit suspension system very soon. My buddy works at the parts dept. at an Acura dealer so he can get the A-Spec @ price plus 10%. And of course, the Eibach system keeps getting bumped back so who knows what I'll end up with. I like the Eibach more just because it's lower.
After dropping it, I'm getting new 18's so the Nakayama's will be gone. They're just temporary and they're not a very good fit anyway, even with hub-rings.

But to answer your question yes! It was my first non-Honda, and will probably be my last. I did love how it drove though. I kinda miss that small-car feel.
And by the way, I got my AEM SRI installed today. My mechanic bro-in-law did it for free. Man is it loud full throttle! I love it! Not as much of a power boost, but that was expected.
