Talking '06 Galaxy Gray Coupe EX

I was down at the local dealer today, and I took some photos of an '06 Galaxy Gray coupe. Thought I'd pass them along (only 4 unfortunately) but it might help those that have had questions about the color. It reminds me very much of the Khaki color on my Jeep Wrangler. If this one would have had Navigation, I would have driven it off the lot today!!

yeah, I was pretty surprised. Two coupes came off the truck this afternoon and were already sold by 5pm. I was lucky to get a glimpse and a drive before they went bye bye.

That's pretty disappointing to me. I was hoping it would be a darker color....

Yeah, after seeing the color in person, I was thinking that the name "Galaxy Gray" wasn't the best to accurately describe it. I like it though, but I was thinking it was going to be a pewter at first.

Great! Thanks for the pics. I am in Calif and was told first week of Oct for the coupe to show up.

I was wondering if anyone has heard or seen anything regarding the body kit for the coupe. I have seen it in pics but the Honda website makes not mention. Also do the current cars include the connector for portable MP3 players?

when I got my honda, it was something that could be added when I got the car. I just had to pay for the kit/install.

and yes, - from the coupe/si brouchure

"mp3/auxiliary input jack" - LX, EX, SI

Do you happen to know the price of the body kit (front, side, rear)? Or were you not interested so didn't bother on pricing it? Thanks.

I honestly don't know what the new kits will run. I know the kits on the 7thgens were like 2k painted/installed/ sides/rear/front/spoiler/ and different rims.

Galaxy Gray doesn't really look like the brochure pics in person. I was hoping it would be close to Moonrock from the JDM/EDM S2000. I'd be all over this color if it were offered on the Si -
