Finally. The TSX Is Mine.

2011 TSX BWP Ext. w/ Ebony Int.
10k Miles When I picked it up. I flew from NorCal to SoCal to pick this up. 4.5 hour drive back. But I find it to be worth it.
Please note that these are the pictures from the seller. I am just too tired to post my own. But they are just as good.
*Technology Package
*Sports Package A
*Protection Package

One of the factories that developed one of the ingredients in PWP was destroyed in the tsunami - which was the reason that Bellanova was created.

There were several companies severely impacted due to the tsunami. These caused the following worldwide disruptions:

Paint - the above mentioned PWP along with BMW's Carbon. Quite simply, any manufacture who changed shades minimally during that time period did so because the pigment became permanently unavailable.

Integrated circuits - BMW was forced to add no-charge nav to their 5 series because the electronics supply for the standalone backup camera was gone. MB had similar issues.

TEPCO being the one most severely impacted.
One of the true horror stories of our time.

Be careful with any liquid or gel air fresheners. They tend to drip on trim and will remove the finish.

You would be surprised how much just a few subtle modification can drastically improve the look of your ride! Look at a few picture threads and I wouldn't be surprised if you changed you mind. Enjoy your new ride!

Just noticed the two little metal pieces on the lower grill. Are you running a front plate with them? If not, you should take em off~ Would look a lot cleaner

Doesn't California require front plates? That would trigger a stop and a ticket, and then they may nail you for illegal front driver/passenger tint.

Congrats on the purchase. I too live in Norcal and have a 2011 PWP over Ebony Tech.

yes it is. what i have personally seen, with luxury cars they usually ignore it. i have passed a couple cop cars and forgot to roll down my window, but they looked and did nothing.

my friends in their cars have not been stopped for either.

where in norcal?
