TL:DR Guys (and Girls), the pics and video we have all seen do not do this car justice, in my opinion. I got to test drive “my” car today, and it is glorious. Luxury married to practicality, this is the perfect car to be my last Integra.

My dealer called me today around lunch time, and...
Excellent post, and congrats! (Not gonna lie, Serra Acura seems to be a truly special dealership, compared to some of the riff-raff around my area.) You win the race to get one of these in your driveway! Looking forward to more forum members posts...
Liquid Carbon car does look sick with blacked out badges in that pic. Still waiting to see how I feel about the white A spec, but I'm the type of guy to get happy with a rattle can of Plasti-dip, so if the blackout badge idea takes root in my mind...
THIS is the content! Years of following car message boards & forums, and I am still amazed at the level and quality of info there is available from a community such as this... much respect to the posters like @Integra23 and others!
I've been curious about this, and their process for "upgrading" the NFT later (like, still no VIN here for my existing reservation, but would it work with any VIN for the 2023 Integra?), and your post seems relevant.
How do you know you forfeited your NFT by cancelling? Are you meaning " ...if...
I have not seen it live yet, on any vehicle that I recall. Looks fire with the subtle flake in those pics. I am so glad I decided to stay with this color on my reservation!
Great point, and yes I would consider it a 'deal' to drive this car off the lot paying MSRP (plus tax/tag/title, destination fee, and my "premium paint deposit" I gave them on March 10 <wink>). I am just concerned that they might try some Dealership nonsense because they think I won't walk...
Update: Dealer called me and is now confirming that Acura allocated my White/Red interior car to their dealership after all. He will follow up with a delivery date soon, and hopefully a VIN. I am struggling a bit to keep a "disinterested" tone, as when he told me that on the phone I was kind of...
That's it. After watching this video, Platinum White Pearl or nothing for me! My dealer offered a black on black instead, despite my reservation being the white. I called them back and said "no thanks!"
My dealer called me today also, must have been an end-of-month info dump or something from Acura.
Told me several things of interest, and I wrote a lot but here is the tl/dr version:
Offered me a Black w/ Black interior now, for June delivery, over my reservation car White w/Red interior later...
That's what I'm talking about. Way to commit! I will be hyped to see what you chose, and also what aftermarket parts selection 27WON will have for the pending 5th Gen Integra in coming days!
If that's the anticipated cost point, I will probably explore options in the aftermarket world of lightweight 19" wheels and get a set for less $$$ that I determine complements my car well. Get out the pitchforks and flame-throwers, everybody!! LOL
