yo guys what do u think of the OEM tsx wing? Im thinking about getting it, but not from the dealer since they will charge me 600 dollars with installation. i found this site ( http://www.wooddashexperts.com/custo...at=3731&page=1 ) from the ads in this forum. Do you guys think that the wing from that site is a phoney? or is there a better site to get this stuff?

If the new A4 had been available, it would have made the short list. However, we just sold our 2005 TSX Nav to our son, and my wife really missed the car. So I got her another one, and she is very happy. Gotta to keep the wife happy.

Just outside of view is our pickup truck....a 2008 Honda CR-V.

Plenty of room for hauling people and/or stuff, plus decent gas mileage (22-28 MPG).

Thanks Midlife! Vortex is the only color I have not seen in person and it looks great with the Taupe interior. It appears darker than I originally thought after seeing the press pictures, yet its not as dark as last year's Royal Blue.

JeffS, I agree that Vortex Blue is not as dark as the '08 Royal Blue, but a little darker than the '08 Arctic Blue which was always my favorite 1Gen color.

I seem to recall some people requesting pics of the new TSX at night. Here are a couple I took of mine this evening. Sorry for the poor picture quality, I don't have a tripod to take a good night pic.

Mokos23...R they actually less blue or is it just the pic that makes it appear less blue? I took one for a test drive in the evening and did not notice a difference in the 'blue' factor. Do other owners can confirm this? Especially those that had the previous generation....

It's just the camera, my sister noticed the blue as I was giving her a ride at night.

I dunno how crazy I am about this color yet (I'm a clean freak so maybe I should have gotten Silver) but it looks very nice when it's clean !










I think Door Edge Guards and All Weather Floor Mats are next on my list....now if only Weather Tech made floor liners...

If you love the color and have OCD regarding your cars cleanliness.. get a clear bra and make sure they throw in door edge guards (the clear film looks a lot better then the oem door guards, and functions just as well..) and door handle cups.

Looks good!

Agreed.

The Gen 1 styling was really starting to show its age, looking a lot like the bland/featureless side of a 2004 Civic Coupe.



Acura is up against the bold styling of the BMW 3 series, MB C-class etc., they had to do something with more styling. Even the new Audi A4 has bold styling.

After seeing a few driving around here lately, I've warmed up to the new TSX. In person, the grill doesn't bother me and I think that overall the car looks great.
