edmontontsx09...Yes, I have all the extra parts at home. I have informed my dealership that those parts are available if a customer wants to have them (if they get into an accident) or if not, I'll just hold on to them.

That looks amazing. I got mine about 2 weeks ago on Monday and I love it. I got a Palladium Metallic / graphite interior. Non-tech though, as it was a little more than I wanted to pay ( I'm a real estate broker and we all know how that is going these days.) I am coming from an '05 G35 coupe, so its taking a little getting used to a FWD car and a different power band. But so far its really a great car and the fit and finish is phenomenal. I'll have to get some pics up after I get it washed as its been through some rain and hail and got stuck behind an 18-wheeler hauling bark, which was spilling out all over the place. After seeing your pics I can't wait to order the bodykit. I'd have had a hard time choosing between a white and silver, but my dealership didn't have any white ones at that time though. But anywho, car looks freakin awesome!

5thto2nd...Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.....If you don't have anything against white, its the color to have...no swirl marks and looks so elegant when clean and despite the myth that its impossible to keep clean, I think its the other way around....
ShadowTuner,,,,Thanks for the compliments too....I was car shopping before my first TSX and the G35 was on that list and too be honest, very happy I went with the TSX...I found the G35 to be a bit engine noisy on the highway...(this was the 2006 model year..I know the 08 changed a bit). You won't regret the TSX...Its a GREATTTTTT car!

its starting to grow on me too. and with my heavy drinker TL-S i'm thinking about the change (plus new car itch). only if they could improve the new eps system... i'll wait another year and see what acura will tweak around with the eps and possibility of new engine choices??

minkl81....To be honest, the EPS is actually quite good once you drive it for a bit more than just a test drive. Maybe mine is slightly different as I did some variance from the various test car I have driven but too be franc with you, if someone gave me the choice to have my 06 steering in this car, or leave the EPS, I would say leave the EPS PLEASE....
As far as engine choices are concerned, Ithink these will come very soon. I still stick to my source that a V6 will be available very soon and the diesel within the year so whether you want performance, large economy (diesel) or something in between. I notice a difference in my 09 TSX versus my 06 TSX. I know you guys are used to the mile/gallon but here in Canada, we have the litre/100km....my 06 in the city would average 9-9.5litre/100km while my new 09 which is not fully broken in yet is so far giving me 7ish litre/100km....
I don't think I would have chosen the diesel even if it would have already been out and the same thing about the V6. The diesel doesn't appeal to me for some reason, don't do that much highway driving and diesel stations are not that accessible where I live (although you don't need them as often) and the V6....nahhhh, the 4 banger is plenty peppy for me...

you know i had a '09 tsx as a loaner for two days. its really easy to drive around town and frees up some engine power with eps but its the lack of road feedback they really missed. with lack of feedback and light steering weight, i was a bit nervous taking high speed corners. that doesn't mean handling of a new tsx sux. it still corners and handles like a dream but without the road feedback i can't really tell the limit of tsx's capability.
also about the engine choices... dealer told me acura will dump the current engine for choice of either V6 or turbo diesel. no more offering of 2.4l ivtec starting '10 model year. but you know dealers sometimes get

Nice...I'd have to say that it looks pretty good with the body kit.
I've got an 08 A-Spec TSX, but after seeing yours I'm now more inclined
to getting a 2nd gen diesel in the future.
Do you have a side profile pic that shows more of the front?
Essentially this pic but centered more to the left.
Thanks

just by little. also its bit numb on highways without much of on-center feel. so i ended up correcting steering many times even on straightways. think i'll go test drive the car again to see if i get the same feeling and my thoughts are not biased

minkl81....I think its normal to not have full confidence of the car unless you have it long enough to gain that confidence. Test drive can help you get a feel for the car but unless you have 24/7 and can experience the car in all driving settings, its very hard to get truly confident behind the car. Everytime you drive to dealership with your car, you are reminded of how your car feels and handles so when you sit behind the 09, that driving experience is still with you. In order to truly get the feeling for what the car can do, and with confidence, you need to have it for days and days and days....In fact, it took me a while to discover what my 06 TSX could do, despite repeated comments from the sales person. I needed some time to let my body 'feel' the car so although I can agree with you 100% that this car is very different than the previous generation, I would have to say that I am starting to discover that this car is as capable as my 06 TSX and would not under any circumstance trade the steering feel from my 09 to that of my 06. I was concerned at first before I signed on the dotted line cause like you, during my test drive, I was concerned by the steering feel. I now get behind the wheel and do not hesitate one bit to push this car to the limit cause it certainly can handle it, and very beautifully at that. Its too bad you don't live closer to me, cause I am so confident that you would agree with me that I'd let you drive my car for a week just so you can experience what I am talking about.....

suikuden..All the pics I have at the moment are those in the flick link at the beginning of the thread. Check those out and if neither one shows what you are interested, I'll get one of that side view you are looking for. I have a few there when you see the side of the car with more frontal views but they are not shot perpendicular to the car, more at an angle. If that is what you are searching for, I'll get one for you...the only thing is I am away on a mini vacation and don't have the car with me, its in the garage so once I get home, I'll post them...

That 09 A-Spec kit is sweet. To each is their own, but I'm still not a fan of the rear wing and with an A-Spec kit, you need A-Spec wheels...here's my quick and dirty Photoshop job of your car with 18" TL A-Specs (the best factory Acura wheel IMO)...and yes, I removed the wing and moved the grille where it belongs 
Either way, nice car...
Either way, nice car...

type34....Thanks for your feedback. I know that the spoiler thing is not something everyone likes. IN fact my dealeship was hoping I was going to go for the lip but chose the wing. Now,on the 06 model, I would have gone for the lip but wasn't available in Canada...the 09 wing looks much better than the previous generation, not raised as high and looks more like the TL's wing. I am not a big fan of the shiny wheels which is why I chose the stock wheels....but I respect your opinion

I noticed they were available on ebay, but i'm weary about duties and installation.

cruzer24...Hey fellow Canadian No, the spoiler was purchased after, in fact I got the entire aerokit installed at delivery. If you just want the spoiler, its close to 800$ (installed)but if you plan on leasing, i suggest you do it at time of delivery cause you have residualized.
