Long story short, used to be a member here before. Lost my passwords now Im back with a new account! And instead of a Nighthawk Black Pearl Acura Cl. I now have this Tsx!
So I picked up a 2012 Acura Tsx with a Technology package a little while back and for most of the people that know me, know that I cannot keep a car stock for very long.. Just cant
Background info about me and my car: Im 18 years old and am in the second semester of college. My previous car was a 2001 acura cl.. I did a build thread in the cl section but got bored of it and soon enough the car was totaled... The Cl had 153k on it when i traded it in. Dealer gave me $2200 but its whatever after pointless hours of going back and forth in the dealership I signed the papers for this Tsx...
Here are some pics of the car when I first got it!
Wait so the cl was totaled but your traded it to a dealer?
I had totaled it in the snow, paid out of pocket to have it fixed up, diddnt report this to insurance, needed a new front bumper left driver side fender, headlights, fans, battery tray was damaged, dents and scratches. It was. Fixed it up and traded it in.. The salesman was a close friend of my dad.
Your car looks 100x better than your sisters. Hers is so bland, like mine. Yours looks like it has soul. I think that blue and the Red SE are the best colors on it.
Yup! That was my neighbors car before she sold it to us, we ended up picking it up for a little under 1700 and she died a few months later..
But the accord is amazing, bought it with 90,000 miles and only reason she sold it so cheap was because she liked me because I used to shovel for her and mow the lawn.

Oh my.. Tell me about it! I loved the red, but when I got mine they only offered the red in the SE and those diddnt have Nav then

Yeah same here. I would have taken a red/navi over my black/navi. Oh well. The red does attract a lot of attention and with my speeding I don't need that.
But yeah, I'd definitely do it. Cheap and easy mod that will change the look of your car. The black rims really suit that color.

If it weren't for the black, I'd go with the red, but like OP said, I also preferred the Navi to SE trim, so it wasn't possible.
your car looks like it needs a good detail, the front bumper especially has a really dull look
I actually have a clear bra on the front bumper, the entire thing! I got it because I do alot of highway driving. But yes, I do need a nice detail! Any recommended buffers??
Looking good! As 2012 mentioned, not digging the front plate placement. And you should really consider removing that front bumper shield, because that paint looks too dull!
