New member, new car, new pics!!

New member here with some pics of the wifes new coupe! We both love this car so far and look forward to getting some driving time in it.

It's a left over 2009 that they were having trouble selling do to the extra cost of the dealer installed options. But with some patience (took about a week) I was able to get them to work with me. 1.9% financing helped a little too.

Extra's include the ground effects, chrome grill, wheel locks, all weather floor mats and trunk mat and a window tint.

Congrats and welcome. First chrome grille as a dealer option I've seen.

Love the white. Wish I could've gotten white on black stupid US...

Thanks, I agree on the W on B.

I did not see the grill available from honda either, I assume it was an aftermarket and I forgot to ask them where they got it. It fits good though.

Thanks for all the compliments everybody.


There is few things I would like to do to this car, but it will have to be driven in the winter. She'd be pi$$ed at me the first time she was bucking snow and it was coming over the hood.

Lower it, and make it a snow plow

Welcome to DA.net! Congrats on the new purchase. Hopefully they didn't bend you over too bad on the "dealer installed" options. They usually mark that stuff up quite a bit.

The chrome grille was the first thing that caught my eye. It actually works on the T.W. color.

Automatic or Manual Tranny?

3504speed; Welcome to DA Forum. Congratulations on your first pose with photos Beautiful car, love those reflections which are so difficult to photograph unless light level is low. Looks like you washed and waxed it. Usually dealer cars are not that well finished. Best white car I have seen in a long time, Regards

Richard

clean ride! i would get rid of that black rubber strip going across your hood, it's interrupting the flow of the car for me. I used to have one of those on my car as well but I removed it and found to look a tad bit cleaner
