Finally..preliminary pics of my 2009 TSX

Hi guys,

Well, my 2009 PWP TSX is finally getting ready. I was able to have the dealership take a few pics of the car although its not completely ready. Keep in mind the car hasn't been fully detailed yet but I was too excited to wait...more pics to come on the weekend....

Comments are always welcome off course.....And to those who says the car is fugly and looks hideous...couldn't care less....I LOVE THIS CAR TO DEATH!!

SIDE1021....This one is especially for you buddy

a detail that i noticed is that the pics that your dealer took are very white, ive seen the 09 PWP in person several times and it has this creamish tint to it .. must be the lighting or the camera

I did notice that too, there is no mistaken that the car is indeed pearly as I had the chance to see it up close and personal...but maybe the sunlight and camera combo...good observation though....

I'm droooling!!! Thanks so much 09TSX! That aero kit is perfect for the new TSX!

Picture is a bit too small BTW. If possible could you post some higher resolution one?

As for posting picture, I think this is how it's done.

1. Upload it to imageshack.us
2. After you finished uploading you should see a page with many links. Scroll to the bottom of the page and you should see a URL link beside "Direct link to image". Copy that link.
3. Now paste the link between [ IMG] [ /IMG] tag (No space in the tag) when reply/edit to thread (message body).

Side1021...thanks for the comments on the car and the tips on how to posts the pics. I told you you would like it....I had seen it before at another dealership and this one looks even better because I was able to stand back and look at it from all the angles as the previous one was in a showroom and limited space to check it out.

These pics were provided to me by the dealership but I'll have more this weekend and will attemps what you suggested for dropping the pics right here.....

HAPPY DROOLING....Guess what I'll be doing this weekend.....

Very nice 09 TSX
I think the white shines especially in the sun.
Congratulations!

I'm getting my 09 pretty soon, though it's gonna be Vortex Blue.
I haven't seen anyone post a VBP 09 yet, maybe I can be the 1st

screamace...I know they have sold one here locally and I have seen it in the showroom and looked really good. Colin has posted a picture where you see the 08 and the 09 in the same shot and the blue is really nice. I think its a good choice color (although you know darker colors are a bit more work)....

yeah i know~~ That's why i didn't take the black on black one. I was planning to get a Grigio or Polished Metallic one but saw the blue one in the showroom and changed my mind immediately.

i'm getting a non-tech one 'cause there won't be any blue + black one with tech coming to my state (or the states around mine) in 2 months. Also i'm still in graduate school so tech is a little bit too expensive for me.

Oh btw i'm in Lawrence, Kansas. Only 2 Acura dealers nearby in Kansas City so price is really high

BTW...A big thanks to everyone who checked out the pics and to those who posted the nice comments! I am really happy that I waited and got exactly what I wanted. If this 09 TSX is as good to me as my 06 was, I am going to be one happy customer.....

screamace...Don't worry too much about the price, just get it, drive it and enjoy it!! Life is too short to worry about saving a few dollars here and there if its something you really want. Don't get me wrong, if you can get a better price thats great, but don't let that stop you either I didn't get the tech package either, its not worth having the NAVI where I live and did feel the need for a backup camera...the ELS...now that I would have liked to have but oh well..

I love the ELS in the tech pkg, but the audio on the non-tech is pretty good too. I just couldn't justify $3000 for a navi. So I bought a brand new Garmin 750 yesterday on ebay for ~$260

I will pick up my car this Saturday or early next week. I will post some pics then. God wish I could afford the body kits, they look awesome on your car!

screamace....Thanks again. Its certainly nice to hear some positive comments about my TSX...I am looking foward to seeing your pics I agree with you that the tech package is pretty expensive if you don't need the NAVI, nor the other features it offers. For me, it made more sense to put an extra 2k on the bodykit than on a NAVI system...

Thanks again guys...I actuaclly picked it up this afternoon as I couldn't wait anymore. The car need to go in this weekend or early next week (my choice) for them to do a proper detailing. The car looks amazing but there is a bit of 'rusty' specs ...fallouts...that needs to be taken out with a solution they use. Its not a big dealas you need to be right on the car to see them....All I can say is I got lots of looks everywhere I went this afternoon...Sadly, I have to work all night tonight...so the car is home sitting in the garage....Oh its going to be a fun weekend BTW...Everytime I drive the car, I fall in love with it even more...WHAT A MACHINE!!!

Nice!

PWP and the body kit is one of the best choices you could make in my opinion!

Looks great! The light colors really do look best on the car IMO, especially with the kit. Looking forward to better pics when you take delivery.

Hey 09TSX love the color choice When I bought mine I really didn't want PWP because I have a 98 Accord V6 that is white and I had a 76 MG Midget and 78 280Z that was also white. The color that I really wanted was the Vortex blue, I'm jealous Screamace.....haven't seen one of the blue's in my kneck of the woods and I've been on several Acura dealership sights in northeastern OH. No one has seen one except the pictures. I think one other person from Atlanta on here has purchased a VBP.

Lol....now I know why you like my PWP so much 09!

Catman...I agree that the blue is so nice, saw one at my dealership and was certainly drawn by it...however, PWP is still my fav color, virtually no swirl marks, easy to wax and look so sharp when clean with the black as a sharp contrast (tires, fog light insert and back accent on rear of aerokit....

*lol* elusive_wind...Ever since I picked up my TSX, its been doing NOTHING but rain and/or drizzle with fog Not the best weather to take my TSX out for some pics. IN fact, my TSX never goes out when the weather is not dry, we use our other car for driving around when its nasty That being said, the forecast is calling for a break in this dreary weather so I am getting ready to take those pictures Wednesday afternoon or Thursday as I am also off during those 2 days...and the car will have been in (Wed am) for its full detailing as they have to remove some fallout from the shipping....

I appreciate you checking this thread and don't worry, I am just as eager to take those pics as you are to see them

It's already in their hands. But they told me they need 48 hours to get it ready. Not sure what they need to do to get it "ready". Perhaps...rolling back the odometer...replace the VIN....remove the mods....

Side1021.....*lol* Don't worry, it takes quite a while to get the PDI, properly cleaned, MVI ect... I brought mine in this morning to have it cleaned and have all that gunk from the shipping taken off....ITS ALL CLEAN NOW!! I have lots of pics, is it safe to post eventhough your license plate are showing? I know some people blurr them out but not sure how to do that....
