Making a change

Decided to make a change, so as of today im looking for a 09-10 white tsx tech package 4 banger. Gonna part out my 2005 RL on wednesday and hopefully be in a tsx by the weekend. I have a lot of plans for the tsx so i figured i would introduce myself to this side of azine. I will start by saying i don't like tinted windows and hate when people tell me i should get tints. other then that im cool and will continue to contribute to the forums.

Welcome aboard! I have to admit tho that I really like the look of dark tint contrasted against the white.

Oh yeah, you'll dig it, particularly once you get the windows tinted.

I made the jump from RL to TSX too. You'll miss the power but its nice only having to fill up once every 2-3 weeks. Also if you get a manual its ALOT more fun to drive than the RL.

happy to hear you also do not like tints-We live on the coast of NC where street lights are a rarity and the streets do get dark at night. Good luck and safe driving. My car is not lowered as I do a lot of driving in unfamiliar areas. We scraped the bottom of the front bumper when we were in Cherryvale, Ks. one year.

Living in Hotlanta, tint was the second thing I did(clear bra first). Three weeks straight over 90 degrees, and its only the first day of summer.

Before I bought the wagon, I'd seen where many Acuras in the south were getting blisters or cracks on the dashboard. Obviously, the heat down here is to blame, so tint helps keep the inside temp down. There are now tint products that aren't "tinted" but still reduce heat and harmful rays for those that don't like how traditional tint looks but would still like to protect their interior and avoid the dreaded farmers tan.

keeping the windows closed tight when the car is parked does not help either in the heat. I always put them down a crack. Helps with ventilation.

So i picked up a 2009 tsx, tech package, white on black interior from rallye acura yesterday. The sales woman was nice. she was also like supermodel hot. She threw in a new set of all season mats cause one of their guys screwed up on the paperwork. I could nopt be any happier with the tsx. The handling on it kind of reminds me of my 2002 SI. Im gonna order some tein basics and get some rims for her asap. I will put up a photograph asap also.

How much did you pay if you mind me asking? Curious because the used market is really inflated right now.
