Picking up a white special edition today...

I traded in my '07 RDX for a lease on a '12 Special Edition in white.
This will be my second TSX - my last one was an '08 I believe.

So, what's the first thing I should do with the car?
I'm considering blacking out the grille and chrome bits around the car to start.

Also thinking about black 20'' rims....OZ Superleggera maybe?

I would like to do the clear film on the front and back. My RDX had perfect paint, but it got destroyed by other people hitting my car when it was parked. I'll probably have to get one of those "bumper badgers" too

Are you planning to keep the car after the léase. Do you have to return the car back to stock. I never leased so I was wondering If you return it.

Always always always clearbra as soon as possible. Even better if they install it right at dealer. Then again, if not ordered new, you will have to buff the surface to be clear brad first. My tsx was showroom with some swirls so I buffed first. My stang was brand new so clearbrad immediately.
