New Z Owner: '12 Gun Metallic Touring Sport

Bullit79 · 04-15-2013, 02:46 PM

Well after 2 months of searching (and giving several sales people headaches) I finally found my new toy. 2012 Touring Sport (7AT) with navi with just under 8k miles. Been driving her for 2 weeks now and loving every minute of it!

I'm going to try to resist the urge to mod for now, though looking at this forum is really going to make it difficult! Nothing big though. The only major thing I had in mind was a cat-back exhaust. Really other than that, it is an excellent car as is.

And of course, pics!

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the forum!
Love that Color.

Looks great. Enjoy!

We GMs are a rare type indeed! Welcome!

And I tried to resist the urge to mod. But I've already done sway bars, oil cooler is sitting in the closet waiting for install, CF NS wing on order, looking for a good front lip and then exhaust and intake. So uhhh, good luck on holding out.

lol I went through the same thing with my RSX. I meant for it to be just a bone stock DD, but ended doing a full exhaust swap, intake, coilovers, sways, etc. Still, it made the commute more enjoyable

And I love the GM color. I knew I wanted it when I saw it. Of course, it made it more difficult to find the car I wanted since it basically cut the market in half. I had to clearly explain to the sales guys it had to be 2011 or later.

Nice! I had a '10 TSX in Gunmetal before this. Modded to hell as well. It seems we aren't so different, you and I. lol!

Love the color. Good luck on the "no modding" attempt.

Nice deal! Good luck with your mods, I dont know you, but I do know you'll go that route.

kfull · 04-16-2013, 09:44 AM

Very nice! I was kinda the same as you, I didn't wanna mod too heavily since I drive it every day, but I did order a fast intentions exhaust since they're so beautiful and well put together. I've got something like 7 more weeks to wait for it since its so popular. I'd recommend you check it out in the exhaust section.
