A few questions about my 05 TL,help meeeee!
I bought an 05 TL a few months ago but it came with these things on the windows,I always forget what they are called so I'll make it easy by showing them to you.
(ignore the shitty grass!)
my question is,how can I remove them without leaving the sticky things on the car,or without leaving marks from the sticky things on my car.
Also,I was wondering about smoking the tail-lights but kinda leaving the middle part of the light unsmoked, I haven't seen a whole lot of smoked tail-lights so I have no idea how it would actually come out...anyone have any input on this?
and my last thing is,I got rear ended or something in a parking lot so I have no idea who did it,I'm probably going to need a new bumper but I'm not too sure about how much it's going to cost,I can't really go to my insurance company because they said one more claim and I get dropped...I called acura and they said a new bumper is like $300,which is cool...but then I read somewhere else (I think it was on here) where some guy got rear ended and had nowhere near the amount of damage I have...but it said he had $2300 worth of damage....so before I get in over my head I will try to get this figured out here.

first off, welcome to the fourms, to answer your questions:
1. Called door visors, you can remove them and use goo gone to get rid of the sticky residue
2. DOn't know what you mena, can you post a picture or write in detail?
3. Bumper cover is all you need, the other guy had more damage because i think is fenders bent inwards to absorb the impact, but it will be around 500 dollars if you get it painted by a good shop as these covers come unpainted.

You can get a bumper off of ebay - probably pretty cheap but it might need to be painted. The bumper is a snap to remove/reinstall

Thanks for the quick responses, I talked to someone about getting it popped out but they kinda advised against it since it's plastic it might just pop back in (this was also an un-biased source so it's not like it was someone trying to cheat me out of money) and as far as the tail-light thing goes,something kinda like this:
although this looks shitter than it would in real life(minus the fact that it doesn't have the current damage )...but it should give a rough idea of what I'm talking about.
