New to me 2010 TSX tech V6
After buying for 4 new Acuras (over 12 years) from the same dealer I got a killer deal on a 2010 TSX v6 with tech, spolier, and Sport kit, or body kit. Car only had about 12k miles, and well pampered. The inside looks brand new. Not a single stain on the carpet. Only mod I might do it paint the grill black.

Some quick shots withe the Iphone.

J series is a very nice engine, only if honda could have made it AWD... Acura and Honda also have all the right ingredients but seem to fak up the recipe.

The tsx has a 3.5L and the sh-awd has a 3.7L.

We should start a thread for V6 TSXs

My point was that it would be alot more fun in the TSX. The AWD has 3.7lt. Also the TL feels huge compared to the previous 3rd and 2nd gen.

I agree. Even with 280hp, an AWD 3.5 would be a blast. The TL feels like huge car when in reality its only slightly bigger.

^It's engine block heater outlet plug.

Up here in the Great White North, we find it handy to have one. I am sure some folks in the mid-West probably have them too.

No sanding/priming needed. Use rubbing alcohol and make sure its really clean then just spray on the plasti dip.

That is the genius behind plastidip - you can peel it off and leave no trace that it was ever there.

prep work?

bring a drink with you, and a chair.

and clean the area well, soap and water works fine. just make sure its dry before you spray

and masking tape + news paper to mask off areas you don't want to spray (if you decide not to take out the bumper and remove the grille)
