Hi guys, long time lurker, first time poster. I just bought a new 2012 Acura TSX in graphite luster metallic. It is my first car that I bought myself and I am very excited to modify it.
-I wasn't able to negotiate a spoiler into the deal. I wanted a decklid spoiler. I was wondering if you guys had a preferred parts site for not just the spoiler but for everything. I found one on ebay unpainted on ebay for around 50 bucks and thought that was a good deal.
Where would I get the graphite luster metallic paint from? Any special techniques in painting it? Any links would be much appreciated.
-I will be doing a lot of highway driving so I wanted to get splash guards. Any particular site that you guys would recommend. What is the typical price range? I saw some on ebay that would be in my color for $105. Seems a bit expensive.
-Also what are you guys thoughts on gear shift knob changes. I bought aluminum pedals and wanted to get a gear shift know to match. I have an AT so my options are limited. I am also worried that the unlocking button that is present on the current knob would not be there and I might change the gear accidentally. Any thoughts?

Thanks guys for all of your help. I have been reading all the comments on this forum and it helped me pick out my car. Thanks!

welcome.

i use automotivetouchup.com for my color match paint. If you dont know HOW to paint it I would recommend a pro.

I paid about 80 for my splash guards.

there are many online dealers that give 25-30 % off the list price on OEM. there is also a vendor on here 'ack' something. he can get parts cheap too.

just contact them, tell them your paint code, spoiler etc etc and they'll list one for your specific vehicle.
