I took a 1,000,007 more pictures of the SSM.... It really is one of those colors that changes depending on the lighting... some of the pics were taken when it was slightly overcast and some when it was a bit sunnier. There's also a Silver Moon TL for comparison.

RandomRon82...Thanks for the great pics and your contribution to this forum....You are amazing!
Now I will have to correct you on something....You mentioned "slightly overcast". As a meteorologist, I have to correct you on that one. It is either overcast or mainly cloudy. Overcast refers to the entire sky covered by cloud...no holes in the clouds

RandomRon82...Thanks a million for getting all these extra pics, and including the 4 cylinder. Pre-ordered one without seeing it and after seeing all the pics you and others have posted of it in person, I'm sure glad I went for SSM. Now c'mon Ohio...build my car!!!

MardiGras....It depends on where you live. I hear ya on the confusing phrasing for sunny with cloudy period or mix of sun and cloud. We should simplify by "we don't know what the weather will be" *LMAO*

After having seen every color other than Fathom Blue and SSM in person, I'm still leaning toward Bellanova White. I saw one today with the body kit on and it looked great. Even with the body kit that I dislike. It looked good in person at the dealership on the white car. I still don't think I'd get it, though.
After having seen a black one, I'm still not sure I'd take it over the white color. Maybe it's because I've gotten so used to black/black cars since my last 2 have been that combo. It's getting difficult to find these cars around here, though because everything seems to be selling or pre-selling.

Thanks for the great pics!!! Love this colour. I love these chameleon-like colours that change with lighting condition.
Slate Silver and Bellanova White Pearl are the best...!

Someone in the 4G forum did a marvelous job of making that mess look quite nice. I imagine it will be harder to fix the bling on the interior.

Different strokes for different folks. I think that mod above doesn't look good. It looks like someone tried to correct something that wasn't part of the design, and from the picture it doesn't look like color matching was done that well either.
As much as I've never liked the 4G, at least the grill (and all the other components) consistently fit the design language of the car - big, bulky, and proud. Whenever I see attempts to scale-back some of those elements, they just end up looking out of place. But again...that's just my IMO.
The TLX on the other hand is solid. And minus the lack of real front/rear fascia options that aren't "tacked" on, I love the new body design, grill included.

I never really had a problem with the '12 refreshed grille. Actually like it, which is a good thing for me since it appears that it is gonna be Acura's "signature" for quite some time.

Looks like Acura Sherway is really pimping out their TLX's

Post #2071 ... I am still not a fan of those wheels, I find them too busy. I am aware it is simply my opinions but I will either have to go with the V6 and get the better wheels or find another wheel from Acura that will fit the TLX. I sure hope there are options.
Even the wheels on #2042 would be good for me.

I think you used absolutely the right word there - pimping! Wow.

The TLX looks handsome (sleek and skinny), but so much like every other Japanese car on the road. By the way, I really liked the 3G, almost as much as the 4G, in it's time, but was simply not in the market for a new car (guess I turned out to be lucky looking back, with the Honda transmission problems and cracked dashboards).

I was out with a friend today and stopped by an Acura dealership. Saw a white TLX. They had the body kit on it. Took a picture from the side and then went to the rear. I wasn't quite sure what to think.... Anyone notice anything a bit odd?
