Aspen White Pearl with Sumatra and Tech
Finally got around to posting pics of the car. This was taken 2 days after delivery.
Since then I got the front windows tinted 35%, I had my Valentine 1 hardwired and installed a rear bumper protector strip - pics of these to follow within next few days

The last few pictures show the Sumatra color - its resembles a dark violet under bright light, and looks black at night.
And this is where I came from (and currently selling) 07 TL Type-S

Congrats on the new ride!
Did you hardwire the V1 yourself? I have done it before in my prior car but am having a hard time finding an appropriate ciruit to tap into on the ZDX.

Washed the car today, so here are the pictures of the things added since I got it.
Rear bumper protector. In my opinion, its a must in NYC. Although in the ZDX its a bit higher up then in my TL

35% tint on front windows and the bumper protector 3/4 view

Tint again

Valentine 1 - hardwired to window - this way I can shut it off by pressing the window lockout button

The ZDX is definitely a looker, saw my first one today filling up at Chevron.
Nice car!

A bit slower and I am ok with that, I outgrew my racing days.
Its easier to drive this car fast. At 80-90 mph it feels like 65. (Which is not always a good thing)
I had a chance to take it north of 100mph. My TL-S just keeps pulling and pulling after I hit 100 mph, whereas the ZDX is still going but it struggles a bit.

White is the perfect color for that ride. Looks really nice with the tint! Random Question: Does Acura's navigation offer a perspective or bird's eye view of the map? Just curious...

Beautiful ZDX ZhenyaF! I've been drooling over them recently... I don't see you in Car Talk anymore; stop by sometimes.

I was backing up into a parking spot filled with snow, but couldn't fit. A spot in front of that one opened up, so I parked there. Came out in the morning and there was 0 psi in the tire. I filled it up with air to 25 psi (took me about 12 minutes) using a compressor. The moment I turned it off, the air started leaking out. It was so bad that I could hear it escaping.
Luckily I still have my TL, so I took that to work. Called Acura TLC after work, they sent a locksmith. I had to wait an hour and a half, but in a matter of 7 mins he had the deflated tire exchanged for the spare.
Now I usually change things like tires myself, but due to the amount of snow, and the fact that the jack in the ZDX is tiny I decided to use the service, since its free anyway (just had to tip the guy).
I took it to the tire shop after, the guy told me the tire was beyond repair. He said something made of glass must have punctured it. The hole was right next to the inner sidewall, so he could patch it. They had a michelin tire in stock, so I had them mount it. But it was so noisy, that I could bear it. I took it in the next day and they swapped it for a Michelin Latitude tire that matches the other 3.

Very nice car. I am from Brooklyn but now in the st. Louis area, and I hope you don't have to park that awesome car on the streets of Brooklyn every night. I have some real horror stories with cars from when I parked on the streets of Bensonhurst. Nonetheless, I love Brooklyn and I wish you the best with your new ZDX.
Best,
Tony
