Where are you located? I never knew WDP with parchment was rare in some places. Good to know.

Congrats and welcome! It will be well worth it when the car arrives. You can start buying mods for it now.

congrats on the car man, you got the 06 and you didnt get the WDP/ebony int. lol just kidding. most people prefer the beige over the ebony interior. Anyways first thing to do is get the tints 20 percent all around and 35 on the windshield like i did. Its up to you on the percentage i have ebony interior and i think 20 all around and 35 on the windshield looks good. good luck

I'm not exactly sure about "tinting" the windshield - some may not think that's a life enhancing move

congrats on the car purchase!

Welcome to the Acura forum. I hope you enjoy your new car. I've got a '04 navi, 6mt, and have had nothing but good luck since I got the car. No rattles, no problems...it's just been a great car. I use Zaino..and constantly get compliments on my paint. When I first purchased the car, the finish (Anthracite) was only average looking. After several coats of Zaino...it looks like a "Show Car" finish. The "orange peel" effect is totally gone...and the paint looks custom.

I once waited 13 weeks, 3 days for a car I ordered.. a 1988 Mustang LX 302CID (5.0 liter for you liter-lovers). But it was worth it.

Look at this way. Anything worth wanting is worth waiting for. You'll love it. Besides. you only have 3 weeks to the end of the month, now.

BTW, which transmisssion did you opt for?

Thx for everyone's reply!
the tanny i got is auto...i figured that driving stick will get tring after a 30 min drive to work and back everyday.
As for the tint, i heard that for the beige interior will show more wear and tear than the black interior?
What do u guys use for leather conditioner?
