It's Graphite Luster Metallic, but yeah it's black really. @Ghost: I am seriously looking at 20 X 10's for it. I looked at the same for the 2010 ZDX, but ceased when it became clear I must have a 2013. Now that I do, I am looking again. I am no expert when it comes to sizing, offset, and the like. I want to be sure there is no "rubbing" in the wheel well, so any advice would be appreciated. I "think" 20 x 10's will work/fit, but again I'd like help in that regard. I think 20 X 10's would look so good on this ZDX. And thanks for the compliments, folks. I am a ZDX zealot, love this example, and can't wait for the weather to change so I can get to work on it cosmetically.
i wonder why the ACURA text was removed in rear. I see it that way from your first pic I assume you didnt remove it
I have debadged in the past but I would have done it all IF AT ALL. just pondering.
I do have a question though. Why the dealer plate frame on the car?
I usually pull over and remove those on the first drive home OR insist that I am not taking delivery of a car with free advertising.

The 2013 does not have the text to which you refer. My 2010 did, but not the 2013's. Not sure which model year they did away with it. License plate frame? Simple good will. They are the only Acura dealer in the state. The service manager has been very, very good to me. I've only been able to purchase one Acura from them in all my years, but do have service done there, so my way of being a good partner I guess.
Very nice about the dealer.
I had more than one bad experience at the local place, Mile High Acura, and in general never good with any car dealers. I'm also a 'serial debadger' so my mind goes there first.
New to me 2012 does have Acura letters so I assumed all MY did.
As have I with dealers, but I don't hold a grudge, and I do hold my ground. I have two dreams cars, the S2K and the NSX...This S2000 is special. I've known it since it was new and the original owner was kind enough to sell to me when he was ready to part with it....The car is still just south of 17,000 miles...
I have:
1) 2004 TSX Blue
2) 2007 MDX Tech/ with Entertainment Black (on the fence but want to sell for 2013 ZDX) a CPO that is 1000 miles away (rare find)
3) 2008 TL Type S Black (Dream Car)
4) 2010 TSX White
9,000 miles tonight I've logged behind the wheel of my Z. I love this car. The growl of the 3.7 is real and smooth and coupled with SHAWD, it is a blast to drive when pushed enthusiastically, especially in S. One day I'll put 20 X10's on, but for now it's good to go.
This beauty is now for sale...Meaning the 2013 ZDX...
You seemed thrilled with it. May I ask why?
I can tell you I'm pissed about the oil consumption issue. Going to cause diminished value of these vehicles.
They all have this manufacturing flaw, they all should be repaired or warrantied for this issue for a lot longer than this BS 6 month extension.
Love the 2013 bookend, very much so, and second guessing myself to be honest, but I have two cars that require fussing and fawning yet time for only one, so the Z will go to a new home. I don't have to sell it, but I think it needs the attention that I can no longer give it. I realize I am asking a premium for it, but it is an 8 of 10 car, meticulously maintained, one of only 341 or so built in 2013, and one of only 7,000 or so in total.
As soon as I got it back to Omaha, I took it to the Acura dealership, had the oil changed, and got on the oil consumption test. Went through that for several oil changes. The most this 3.7 consumed was 1/4 QT over 2500 miles. My 2006 CRV consumes 1 QT per 1,000 miles. I am pretty confident this 3.7 is ok for now in that regard.
I love the Z. I still have it and hanging on to it until I find that guy/gal who knows about the ZDX and actually LOOKS at this one in person. That's all it will take.....one interested potential to see it in person...a beautiful example of a unique Acura, never to be built again.
Just added up the damage for ALL work, service, maintenance, modifications, fixes, accessories, etc., etc.,. for the car: $5,972. I've owned since Nov. 2017.
Wow good to know someone did this and it looks beautiful, I'm currently shopping for a ZDX, I think a white exterior with black leather is a great look but that combo seems hard to find, most white ZDX I've seen has light tan interior.
