My Basque Red / Parchment TSX

Yes, it's taken a while, but I finally took some pics of my, now 6 week-old TSX. Enjoy.

Nice, those are great pics. Thanks for posting....

Are you planning any future additions to the car like tint, wheels, etc. ?

I love that color! Looks so Juicy!

20% tints and 19's would look awesome!

Hmmmm...looks familiar.

Looks real nice and great work with the camera.

I think we are going to have to be diligent keeping the car clean. This color shows dirt pretty quickly.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.
I do plan on getting the windows tinted but new wheels are down the road, so to speak. As to the lip spoiler - My last car had more of a wing spoiler and I hated the way it blocked my view of the driver behind me. The lip spoiler adds a nice level of understated sportyness, IMHO.
Stacys - You're not kidding about keeping the car clean... I park under an elevated freeway near work (so I don't have to worry about the tight downtown street parking and people bumping the car while they are trying to park) and does get dirty pretty quickly.

I might be getting the 09 tsx next May. If I do it will be that color but with ebony interior. I keep my cars stock. I now have a 06 Milano red/ebony 6MT/w nav tsx, bought new 11/17/06. It has almost 55,000 miles. I want it with MT and Tech package. I do alot of driving.
Congrats and safe driving- very nice looking

That's a nice red! The first pic actually makes it look like the rear is lowered.

nj2pa2nc - I looked at the ebony interior also, but you know, the black just made the interior look really small and closed-in. The parchment just seems to make the interior look bigger.

Funny you should notice that... The rear isn't intentionally lowered, but I've got about 150 lbs. of pond liner in the trunk!

That color is starting to grow on me. I had that exact same color combo as a choice at my dealer, but went with the Palladium/Taupe. Looks good though.

That color has completely grown on me. I'm a diehard blue fan but if I was lookin' at an '09, I don't think it would be any question.

Basque red FTW.

Congrats on your new car and body of water!

When the tsx first came out with the 04 model I checked them out. The milano red only had the parchment interior. It was nice but I have owned other cars with light interior. I am glad I waited my 06 MR has the ebony interior. Alot easier for me to keep clean and it makes it look sharp.

Ahh something different. That red looks very sexy, I think it suits the 2G TSX very well.
