New Red over Orchid 6MT

I picked up my Red over Orchid 6MT last Saturday. My sales guy earlier in August thought that I would have to wait until at least October to take delivery, but he was able to wrangle one from another dealer somewhere that had a mid-August completion date. Two weeks later it was in my garage. Looking forward to a lot of good conversation and information here!

Right on! Grats on your delivery! What’s your favorite part of the car so far?

Welcome! Congrats on the Integra.
Are you going to be doing any typical first things to it like paint protection, modifications, etc.?

Another Integra owner! Congratulations @MrJimmy32! Nice of your salesman to hook you up like that. Did they charge a markup or did you pay sticker price?
Lots of questions to answer:

Favorite thing: The transmission. I’ve been without a manual for about 12 years. Good to be back.
First things: I’ll start with window tint and go from there.
Sticker? Yep. Paid sticker.

We're waiting for the same combo. Placed order in late May.

Congrats on finally wrangling one. Do you mind saying your location (generally)?

Dang. I hope you can yours soon. I'm in NC.

Welcome to the board! I'm also in NC, picked up my Red (over Ebony) 6MT 2 weeks ago from Leith Acura in Cary. The Red 6MTs took a while to show up, but they're coming in now and looking great. I don't think they built any Red 6MT until August. I was (and am) really excited to get back into a manual after 9 years. Enjoy the car!

Any other thoughts on the car? I picked up mine last Friday and put about 300 miles on it so far. I am coming back to an Integra (had a '95GSR) off a manual CRV. Never had an automatic as a primary car yet in my 30 years of driving. So far the only gripe I have is rear visibility. I am relying on camera when reversing, but if I trun and lookI feel a bit blind. Also feels like a rear wiper should have been there. Other than that, handling and acceleration are great. Brakes feel fantastic. Was wondering what your thoughts are so far.
