01Blacura's '12 VBP TSX Build Thread!

Hey guys!

So yesterday(4-20-13) I picked up a 2012 Acura Tsx with a Technology package.

The previous owner took great care of it! Although Some minor defects here and there....

Bought the car from an Acura Dealer in Virginia.

Info on car : Originally it had about 7,595 or so before my test drive so not bad. LOW MILLAGE .When i drove it off the lot it had 7,606 miles. The car came with the tech package or "FULLY LOADED" in other words!! Minor scratches here and there.. They seemed to go away after they cleaned the car while the paper work was being done. So yea that's that. I was pretty satisfied with the service! We bought two cars from the dealer in one day! Haha! So discount was nice!


Background info about me and my car: Im 16 years old still in high-school BUT I run a small ebay business and work on cars and hoping to pay it off myself!!! My previous car was a 2001 acura cl.. I did a build thread in the cl section but got bored of it and got bored of the car. The Cl had 153k on it when i traded it in. Dealer gave me $2200 but its whatever i could care less about that car... It was purchased in 05 for 14 grand from a dealer in California.

I live in Fairfax and have been pulled twice for 35% all around. So far it's my most expensive mod...

I like the uniform look.
