'06 Galaxy Gray Coupe EX

shoptb · 09-21-2005, 08:30 PM

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!!

Very nice!

I was looking at that color in the brochure and was wonder what it would look like in the daylight.

Thanks for the pics!!

**webby** · 09-21-2005, 09:04 PM

wow - I think those might be the first pics. I think everyone in the world is waiting to see the coupes! My dealer said another 2 weeks wait!!!!!!!!!

shoptb · 09-21-2005, 09:28 PM

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.

Thanks for the pics shoptb. Guess their waiting till Oct to send out the first coupes with Navi.

That's cool. Maybe we'll get some coupes down here in Central AR soon.

dahmit my dealerships never ******* call me all the salespeople in 3 different dealerships have my number and i don't get a call xcept for one which says sometime next week and that i should "preorder" it ya right i'm not buying a car i haven't driven!

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

shoptb · 09-22-2005, 10:45 AM

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.

**Shemmy** · 09-22-2005, 10:46 AM

Looks good! Thanks for the pics.

Si-aficionado · 09-22-2005, 11:08 AM

Not the color I'd choose, but still looks very nice...good pics by the way.

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking.

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

George Hamilton · 09-22-2005, 05:36 PM

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.

**webby** · 09-22-2005, 06:02 PM

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.

jbbrann · 09-22-2005, 09:08 PM

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 -

stupidfool · 09-23-2005, 07:52 AM

i'm in love with the s2000 but i can only afford the civic lx coupe :-(

**Silver8th** · 10-04-2005, 10:23 PM
