Welcome. Good color choice too. It is the only TSX color that changes quite dramatically under different lighting conditions.

Congrats, this was the color I wanted most, but so hard to find a wagon in general, you can't be picky! Is it a gray interior on these?

I didn't realize gray interior was an option.

I thought it was either black or that light creme looking.

Personally I wanted white exterior. But I went by interior color (black interior a must)...so I ended up with ugly dulld ark grey outside

LED Plate lights, lol. After getting rear ended in my old car, I never put them back in. I have a set of rx330 low beams and puddle lights i was going to put in my next car, but the car obviously doesnt need projectors, so maybe puddle lights next.

I am looking to lower it, but information is so sparse about springs for the wagon (factoring the added rear weight) I've done as much research as i could take but I still want something more comfortable than my old car (18s with 40 series tires, on BC Racing Type BR coils with the extreme drop kit.) Coilovers are an option obviously, but i would like enjoy the car stock at the moment. lol

I lucked out so hard. lol Got a good color with black interior. I avoided tan at all costs. Not too shabby for being used either, everything was almost in excellent shape.

TEins being so cheap these days, I skipped over the whole spring idea (which I first wanted).

I will probably go with 245/40/18s.

Wow, did not know it was black interior. Just FYI- TSX Wagons only came in black or gray interiors and each exterior color only had one option for the interior

That was a step up, man. The TSX Wagon is an awesome ride. Sadly, we won't be getting one any time soon but we've helped a number of people tune theirs.

The TSXs in particular respond very well when fitted correctly and offer a lot of rewards to the driver with minimal compromise in comfort. We're here (the community, and Heeltoeauto.com) to help you make the right choices.

But for now, welcome!

I'm not quite sure, I'm assuming 35% front and 20% rear. I'm just glad it's not 5% like I had in my tC. lol

5% is a requirement if you are under 20 and live with your parents. Because your car is your hotel room

I know a local moron with 5% all around on his S6 (including windshield)

I needs my privacy, especially in Houston. Had 5% in the back of my old car, put your face up to the window and still couldn't see a thing. haha

Yup had cars like that.

I am so old now, privacy doesn't mean a thing.

I am so ugly, other commuters need privacy from me, not to have to see my ugly mug

Then again, I have't gone through a LA summer with the wagon yet, so we shall see.

I went through LA summer last year with my 2013 Lexus CT, and didn't tint it. It had brutal cold A/C.

In the US, white wagons could only be had with the beige interior.

I don't believe those tips are stock. STock tips have more of a rounded edge, not as sharp

I like the window visors. From a design perspective I don't like how it ends on the front and rear windows. The rear hatch side windows look like they are left out (I realize they dont need it)

No offense, the sunroof rain visor things reminds me of the 80s. Looks horrendous. BUt your car, your $.

I agree. Not feeling the sunroof visor. But I like the door visors. My only gripe is that they cover most of the chrome, making the rest of the chrome strip look kind of awkward. But it's not a huge issue.

Happy Birthday!

Car came with the Sunroof visor, haven't had a chance to figure out how to take it off, i sure hope their aren't any holes.

Looking to have my guy wrap the chrome in flat black too

Thanks everyone!

I used to rock visors everywhere on my old car. lol

Agreed. I love the visors on the sedan, since the rear extra window isn't there. On the wagon, to me it throws off the design (visually).

I am sure there is a purpose for it. It rains here 7 days a year, and all my cars stay in side if it rains, so no need for me to have them.
