My 09 Palladium Metallic (56k grab a snack)

[ShadowTuner]

Posted this on *********, but I thought I'd put it up here too...

Finally got to take some pics of it the other day. Gotta get tint soon, I hate driving a car without it. Until then, enjoy these shots of an otherwise stock TSX!

Nice.

[bluexcrush]

headlights look sleek, like the TL.

[BSoares]

Looks good

[Gawrek]

i wonder how those headlights would look cleared out...hopefully they look good like the TL's and not like the 1st gen TSX

[ShadowTuner]

Thanks for the compliments! And ya, I'm curious how they would look cleared. Having coming from 2 previous modded cars, the mod bug itch is getting quite severe, especially since there isn't much, if anything out for these cars yet.

Seeing the new '09s in a setting like this makes them grow on me for some reason. I'd have to say it's a lot better than seeing in-studio shoots.

Nice color choice too. Welcome to the forums.

Welcome to the CU2 club. Hope you end up loving your's as much as I love mine. I just installed the Aero kit on mine if you haven't seen it yet.

And wow that's a gorgeous view from your back yard.

[ShadowTuner]

Ya, I really like the look of the factory aero kit, going to hold off for now and see what other bodykits, lips, etc come out before I make a final decision, but the likelihood is I end up going factory, as it really is a very clean yet aggressive kit. But anywho, I'm looking forward to getting to know this car and everyone here on the forums. :mardi:

P.S. Ya, the view from the back is amazing, though one downfall of living on a ridge is the high winds lol, can be a bit unnerving at times. I've got some more pics from the back I can post up later when I get home.

The second gen looks better and better every time I look at it. :) Headlights don't remind me of a tl, it reminds me of a civic.

[gerardo]

grill almost looks color matched in the second picture.

[pizzaman555]

Love the 09 TSX its really starting to grow on me.Even the grille does not look to bad.

[ShadowTuner]

grill almost looks color matched in the second picture.

Ya, that's one reason I went with this color, it is the one in which the grill stood out the least.

nice color..

[tsx4life]

eh...welcome and enjoy your stay

[Darren]

eh...welcome and enjoy your stay

We understand you're not a fan of the 2nd gen. design by now. Must you comment on it in every single post about them?

[09tsx714]

he's just jealous kekeke j/k

[evertp1]

got to drive one as a loner car... seems pretty fast with no VTEC... i think i want that ECU

[plng777]

Nice one, is that a manual sport package?

[Krwoo]

first pic shows 2nd Gen. TSX's evil smile...:naughty:

[ShadowTuner]

Nice one, is that a manual sport package?

No, its the auto. I really needed it for my job, but in hindsight after all I've heard about the manual being easy to drive, I'm kinda second guessing my decision. Not much I can do about it now though lol.

Time to find/make some mods my friend!

[ShadowTuner]

Time to find/make some mods my friend!

Tell me about it! The mod bug bit me almost 5 years ago with my first car (had SUV's previous to that.) This is the first time I've had a car with no mods available yet. Its driving me nuts waiting! I'll have to think about what if any mods I could make myself.

[Mike Star]

The grille is truly disgusting. I thought our Aussie grille was bad but the US grille is just ...............................:bawling:

[ex-rotary owner]

looking good dude. i see you already have HKS license plate frame lol.
i am seriously thinking about getting another grill to do some fiberglass experiment with it. might turn out to be a fun project. except fiberglass is going to make me itch like crazy.

[ShadowTuner]

Lemme know if you decide to do something. I'm all about modding my cars and am up for something new. Oh and I just debadged it a couple days ago. Need to get some pics after I clean her up.
