Talking NEW 2013 TSX Graphite Metallica Luster - NJ

Hey hey hey - After months of test drives and deliberations (Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Volkswagen Passat, Kia Optima) I'm proud to say that I'm a new (jersey) TSX owner. Very, very pleased with this car (looks + performance + luxury). The car is at the dealer as we speak getting a scratch repaired from the day of delivery as well as installation of the OEM Rear Deck Lid spoiler. Appt set next week for 50% tint on front and back 35% on rear (NJ = TOUGH TINT LAWZ)

Here's some pics! Already put 1k pleasant miles on in about a week. Thoroughly enjoying the stock audio system (8" sub) w/ ipod hookup to bump my eclectic hip hop / death metal playlist!

On a sour note, my cousin puked up some iced coffee a few days ago all over the passenger seat.. WOMP WOMP.. quite ironic since I won't let any of my smoking friends in the car lol... oh well.. on with the pixXx..





















Traded in the greatest truck I ever owned.. 2005 Chevy Colorado... RIP

So it's been a few weeks and I'm really loving this car. As soon as I got it back from the dealer with my new lip spoiler I immediately dropped it off to get some tints at a local shop. I got 50% on the front and back 35% on the rear glass. Very pleased with the look; very subtle and classy. Here's some random shots







Upcoming mods will be:

-CAI or SRI (probably the less expensive of the two)

-debadge trunk

-either smoke out or 'red' out the tails

-random LEDS (license plate, mirrors, dome lights)

-color match grill insert leaving the chrome surround

-replace DRL & fogs lights with something less yellow (haven't looked into my options yet)

Thumbs up

SO, after blindly fingering around behind the trunk liner, I finally figured out how to get the license plate bulbs out. The results are well worth the LED switcharoo..











Today I came to the realization that everything about this car is ridiculously satisfying and no matter how many pictures I take, I can't fully capture how perfect it is in person. Time to start drinking!
