My New 09 TSX - Palladium w/ Taupe

Here are some pics of my 2009 TSX still at the dealership; I just went down there and snapped them today. I ordered the car 4 weeks ago and I will be picking it up Monday when the clear bra is put on. All paperwork is done, and I CAN'T WAIT FOR MONDAY TO COME. On the outside it has the full sport bumper kit, 18" rims, and 50% tint. The interior has quite a few accessories and I will take pics of the inside when I take delivery of the car Monday, and then post them here. Enough reading though... here are the pics!










My favorite pic of them all:

Haven't seen a Palladium with the Sport Bumper Kit. Looks really good with the 18" rims.

Car looks fantastic! I love the Aero kit on it, and not just because I have the Aero kit too. It's just so much better than the stock bumpers.

They letting you still keep the stock wheels?

Your car is definitely pleasing to the eye.

Correct me if I'm wrong though, isn't this thread more than a year old?

No it's true, the date on this thread is correct. I've had the car for 1 year and 4 months now and I almost have 18k miles on it. Funny it just popped up at the top of the list today. Regardless of that, thanks for all the comments! I still love the car just as much as the day I bought it.

To answer DerwoodEE yes I got to keep the stock wheels which I sold to a user on this forums that goes by Passat774. He then polished them and they turned out pretty awesome actually. Check out this thread.

I also got to keep the stock bumpers, steering wheel and shift knob which I still have not unloaded. All of the parts are brand spanking new though.

Love the wheels! I assume they are the factory optional wheels, right? If so, are they the chrome or ebony?

I'm a tard, I didn't know Palladium was a metal until I was looking at my 9 year old's table of elements the other day.

I wonder what the % of each color produced is?

I own a Palladium. In the Chicago area, Ive seen a handful of Palladiums, Whites, Polished Metal Metalic, and A few Grigios. Ive only seen one or 2 Blacks, and maybe 1 Blue at the dealer. I have never seen any Reds in the area.

The Palladium is pretty interesting depending on the light. In some light, its a warm tan-ish silver. In different light, its a cool silver similar to the last generation's silver. Theres some situations where you both have warm and cool at the same time like in the pics here:

Sorry for the hi-jack but can anyone photoshop these Ron Jon wheels onto the pics above? Pretty nice combo color but not sure if the owner is on AZ or not. Drop looks nice too.

Tint is Llumar 50% all the way around. Limit in VA is 50% front, 35% rear but I didn't want it to look uneven so I had them do 50% to keep it legal. Brake light left untouched too so that I'd also be legal with that. Always had a problem with tint on other cars, but this one I've not had a single issue.

Your car looks great!

I have a '10 V6 Tech palladium with what looks like the same rims (18 ebony chrome) I even have the regular chrome centercaps! Wanted to see what the sport bumper looked like... Looks fantastic. Will be ordering one... next week! The parts guy said I could get the ebony chrome center caps for $29 each. May do that as well.

Nope I'm not dead but yeah this thread is way old lol!

I still have the car but the only change is I swapped the rims out for the V6 rims because the chrome-look ones kept chipping and peeling.

4 years and 72k on the clock now.

Thanks for the compliments!

Woah hes alive! Why'd you have to show me up and not be dead? I guess that's what happens when the OP is subscribed to their post.
