Hi everyone,

Just picked up my very first car, a 2012 vortex blue tsx. Already ordered LED DRL and interior lights! Planning on plasti dipping everything too. Hoping to learn a lot from you guys.

Some pics when I went to pick her up...

Nice buy and welcome to the forums! The VBP family here is quickly growing.

I wish Texas had as many cu2 Aziners as the NYC area does...

VortexBlueTSX

Nice car man, great choice in color! You made the right call

Im surprised Pyro hasn't commented here yet? a 2012 VTB I think your first in the forum...Man after seeing your car and Pyro's should have really went with VTB...so nice!!!

What part of NYC...plastidipping tips ask PYRO

Mr. NC

Welcome to the forums, VBP is such a striking colour

holy shit i'm such a stalker...
he's exactly where that white bmw is...with the leasing company poster right on the wall...

PyroDave

Im rethinking going to the auto show with you on Sunday. This is some seriously rapey stuff

PyroDave

It sucked anyway... They didn't even have a exotic/supercars section this year... The shield MDX looked cool, but that's it. Acura needs to put a VBP or Milano red TSX there. A not modded CBP just isn't that cool

but but but...i bought new toys for us to play with (if you know what i mean)...

and yea i totally guessed cuz it looked really familiar...then i google mapped it and holy shit i was right...hah! don't avoid me this sunday...we have a bro date.

ed, please. i've been over to see your mom so many times, i can sleep drive to your place.

tobwac

just ignore all the post that are not related to your car congrats any other modes than LED's and plastidip?

MrOtocinclus

The first pic had a phone number, not really hard to Google that.

OP, nice car!

VorTSX

Nice car, congrats and great color!

NIVLAK

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone! I am indeed located in Brooklyn, NY.

apinwp09GBTSX - I think I got one of the last 2012 VTB's in the area! So glad it was still available when I finally pulled the trigger to get it.

mrstak - Excellent detective skills!

PyroDave - Nice car! Definitely using your car as inspiration. I'm going with matte black everything tomorrow morning. Considering going with gloss or gold metalizer once I get bored of it. What do you think?

tobwac - No other mods pipeline other than tints at the time. Most likely sticking with aesthetic mods since its a lease. Any suggestions?

VortexBlueTSX

If you need anything man let me know..I went all Carbon Fiber route...if you want to see how it looks

Acura_Dude

Stak has some great detective skills.

Congrats!!!

NIVLAK

First attempt at dipping! 85% happy with the way everything turned out. I'm probably going to redo the grill and 1-2 of the wheels again

mrstak

iTrader: (1)

the grille came out nicely!

ssjoeboe9

Pyro has the whole vortex community dipping haha. At least it looks good!

PyroDave

before you redo it, take it off the centercaps and lugs and look at it, trust me, alot better

Simba91102

Plasti-dip everything? Are you sure you want to do that to rental? (I'm assuming the picture in front a leasing company in not a coincidence).

NIVLAK

Everything meaning the chrome bits of the car. Why not? Plastidip peels right off.

MoaarLow

Welcome to the forums, The 2012 Nose and VBP look great together the color is growing on me. Nice First Car. My First was a 1997 Civic With 189,000 miles lol

PyroDave

I'm not sure what you mean by that... Mine is a lease with plasti as well, as are over a dozen others in this section. Plastidip is actually a protective coating on the parts of the car where you apply it. You can actually even do it on the entire car even on the paint. This is similar to asking if he is sure he wants to apply a clear bra to the vehicle or put a car cover on it outside since it is a lease. Why not?

MrOtocinclus

I lease and mod, and at the end I undo all the mods. I take care of my car, too. My dealer loves me because I saved them all the prep work.

I just don't get people who drive nice cars but have cheerios in the back seat.

SlickxAc

nice tsx !
love the color too... it reminds me of mine lol
have fun when you get your led DRL, i just changed mine like couple of days ago and it looks nice

Integra2TSX

congrats! I've had mine for 1 week, 2 days . Love it so far. Btw, please elaborate on the LED DRL's you chose/bought? I'd like to do this.

thank you.

savclaude

nice pick up

NIVLAK

I've been pretty obsessed with mine. Had it for ~2.5 weeks now.

These are the LED's I ordered. High beams are basically non-existent now so I wouldn't change it if you use them often.

benben01

Nice new ride OP. On a side note, is PlastiDip a publicly traded company? I may have to invest a few dollars in them if they are

ssjoeboe9

Thats actually a good idea haha ^^
