Replying to: toons01 (Dec 24, 2004 9:35 am) As for parking, I live in Brooklyn and just got my TSX one week ago, and I must say it's much easier than parking my 2000 Eclipse. The turn ratio really isn't that bad...it feels more or less comparable to the Altima's. Also, you can get a nice set of bumper guards at www.bumperpad.com. For about $95, you get front and rear pads, and you can usually get them in about 3 days (I believe they ship out of Brooklyn). I wouldn't leave the pads on in the street, however. I got them for the parking garage where I park in Manhattan to go to work. Hands down though, you're not gonna find a better car with so many options for the money. Good luck!

Replying to: skilz (Dec 29, 2004 5:40 pm) I found another bumper protection item...maybe a little easier to use for street parking. In case anyone is interested: http://store.perfectcar.net/bp66.html I ordered my TSX last week. It's gonna be a few weeks before it arrives. The dealer did not recommend adding a tow hitch. |

| I have an 05 milano red tsx and I would like to add some highlights to the paint job. I'm thinking of a white stripe along the side body crease on the drivers and passengers side. Does anyone knopw of a good place to do paint work in the New York, Westchester area? | |

Hi, I am STUCK between colors on the 05 I am planning on purchasing in July.....I love the partchment interior, but am unsure if I want pearl white or nighthawk black!!! Then, for exteriors, I love the carbon gray but am not thrilled about only being able to have ebony or quartz interior, I think the partchment looks much more classy....ADVICE ANYONE? Also, Will acrua tint the windows prior to picking up the car? Would you be able to negotiate a deal? How long does it take and is it a pain to have done there? Any experiences? Also, can you choose the tint you want (how dark or light).

I bought my Red Milano '05 TSX in March. I already got a couple of chips on my hood because of construction on my way to work.  I am getting the chips fixed with touch up, but it is such a bummer. I just ordered a nose guard, but I was wondering if I should consider installing X-Pel. Has anyone done so? Comments?

Comments? =========================================================== I just picked up a satin silver TSX on Saturday and am getting a Stongard clear bra put on tomorrow. I looked at an RL at the dealer and a couple of demo cars at Stongard and I couldn't see the lines until I was within a few feet of the car. My understanding is that Stongard and X-Pel use the same 3M film so I'd expect the results to be similar. I'll post my impressions after it's done.

Replying to: drewba (Jun 30, 2005 7:57 pm) I spoke the the X-Pel specialist today about durability and paint quality impact, particularly after 5 years. He said that the warranty was 5 years and most people don't keep their cars beyond that. I hope this investment lasts me a long time! My main concern is that red is a hard color to maintain. Old red cars can look great or can look quite dull. Maintenance and good waxing plays an important part. I can't help but wonder if I have this installed on the car and I am waxing regularly, will the paint below the shield look duller over time, or brighter than the rest of the car if it dulls? Has anyone heard about long term effects of having this? I'm wondering if I will in the future feel the value of not having paint chips offset by duller paint across the front of the vehicle ... hum??
