Hey guys. For the paint damage to my fender, a friend referred me out to "Auto Details" out on 115th and 105 Ave. Anyone have any experience with these guys?

Jriddle8

So i was recommended to this paint shop on the south end for my lips. 150$ per lip which came to be 300 for 2 lips which was cheap, he seemed to know his colors as well

thegoodlife

Yes

thegoodlife

Did u get it ?? How much did u pay I'm selling mine for 20 sh-awd navi black Milano leather 116 km silver one

ArenHam

@Jeff - Got it from Alberta Honda. Already ordered my Takeda SRI and I'm going with lowering springs this time cause I can't justify coilovers right now. But first things first, some cosmetic mods, since its black I gotta color match the ugly ass grill lol.

@thegoodlife - Picking it up tomorrow, black, tech package, SH-AWD, 98,000kms for $23,000. I actually saw yours and considered yours, but I prefer black and his already had the aspec kit on so that saves me some time and money down the road. Why you selling yours?


Anyone have any recommendations of a paint shop with good prices? I wanna paint the beak grill asap.

EdmTSX

@Aaron - Nice! Too bad it wasn't one of the models that came with a painted front grill. You could always see if someones selling one in the azine marketplace. I had my lip painted at brunei auto in the southside...you could give them a call as well.

ArenHam

Hey guys so got the car, couldn't really take any pictures tbh cause of the glare and stuff.
But here's a little ass shot.

you8myrice

ArenHam

Haha, too soon and its cold asf. Lets do next sunday? Anyone down for that?

riicky

I might be free next sunday if its around 6ish.

riicky

Anyone know a good place to buy long open end wheel lugs locally? Last time I ordered them from online and it took forever. Don't want to wait this time.

ArenHam

Yeah maybe it'll be +10 next sunday?

But yeah anybody down for a meet sunday April 20th?

Sejanus

Next weekend is Easter long weekend, and I have family obligations that Sunday ;(

Got my summers put on earlier this week. Kal-tire told me three of the rims are "noticeably bent". But the guy was surprised I haven't noticed any vibrations. So... who knows. Wife and I are buying a place soon, so no major mods for me. Probably looking to do some cosmetic work to my car though. Anyone know any good body shops in town? Someone at work decided to put their boot in my door and hit the crash bar as well, so I can't just push it out -_-

@ArenHam - SH-AWD is so fun! Such a huge difference in the winter as well.

EdmTSX

@ricky - try invision auto, they usually have some in stock.

I'll probably be in Calgary easter long weekend haha

New to the forum. Quick question for those who have installed oem window visors on their 04-08 TL. Where can i possibly get one without having to go through Acura here in the city? Called both dealerships and they're charging $350 for the set with a months wait. "http://www.acurapartsforless.com" won't ship to my address and "https://www.acuraoemparts.com" has no guarantee once it leaves their dealership.

you can always get weathertech ones or look on ebay or black market section for OEM ones. I doubt you can get OEM locally for cheaper than 350$ in they are 350$ at the dealership

thegoodlife

I need bigger vehicle zdx or x6 is what I'm on the hunt for dropping price to 19500

thegoodlife

Sure maybe I but spec kit if I like it

ArenHam

Are your tailights tinted? Cause I think I've seen your car before

Anyways with Easter this weekend, lets do next next sunday. April 27th?

Hey guys. I bought a white 2013 TSX last year but I am sort of new the forums. Putting on my summer tires pretty soon. Does anyone know where I can find a good price for TPMS in the city or online?

EdmTSX

Anyone going to the 780tuners opener meet on May 3rd?

myron

iTrader: (4)

ehhhh I wouldn't get ZDX. It's sinfully ugly

ArenHam

I sure am, kinda bummed Driven won't happen this year so this will be the only major car meet this year

sockpuppet

FWIW, I went to see these guys, and they gave me a quote of "about $1000" for the proper fix (repaint, with blending), and just a few hundred to buff and touch-up. They'l also fix a couple of door dings while they're at it for another hundred or so. They say they do the work for the Acura dealerships. I'm going to give them a try for the proper fix, and see how it goes.

Also, Has anyone here been shopping for 19 inch tires? I'm thinking of getting a set of the Acura Diamond Cut, two-tone wheels ($1,600 delivered), but my regular tire shop warned me that 19 inch tires are pricier than 18's and 20's, and there's less selection to choose from. Any thoughts? Depending on precisely what "pricier" means, I'm not too worried about that, as I would only run them in the summer, so they'd last a few years, and wouldn't be replacing very often (not like the set of Eagle GT's that lasted me one year). But I would like to know there's some selection available.

you8myrice

have you sat in an X6? one of my closet friends own one, and i wouldnt say the interior say is that much bigger, i felt cramped in there compared to my TL


let me know how there work is! need to do similar work to mine still

thegoodlife

No they r not only in the pic

thegoodlife

X6 small ?? Really ... No I haven't which interior bigger zdx or x6

sockpuppet

I'm one of about 6 people in the world that doesn't mind the look of the ZDX. That said, for a "bigger" vehicle, I can get in and out of the backseat of my TL a lot easier than the ZDX. Once I learned that, the ZDX was off my radar.

For a 4G I would go with aftermarket wheels and 20s. I am sure for 1600$ you can get much better looking wheels than stock ones. And your shop was right, 19s are harder to come by and they are more expensive than 20s or 18s. I ran 19s on my TL before and I was shopping for tires.
For wheels look at 1010tire.com they are canadian and they have decent options on wheels. Also black market here has some good wheels from time to time. Why spend 1600$ +tires on stock wheels when for the same price or less you can have some work wheels or something like that.

ArenHam

Man no wonder some body shops make so much money, so I brought my car in to get my grill painted and for the painting of the grill its fairly reasonable, $180. But he says he wants an additional $250 for taking off the grill which is a 2.2 hour process cause he as to take the bumper off. 2.2 hours to take a front bumper off? Sheesh

riicky

take it off your self and take the grille to him! not that hard. I am pretty theres a DIY on the forum somewhere. labour is what kills it, thats why I do everything on my own

sockpuppet

Are you doing the beak, the surround, or both?

ArenHam

@Ricky - yeah I tried today but the hardest part without taking off the front bumper are the 6 pressure clips at the base of the grill, they're an absolute bitch to get off.

@sockpuppet - I'm doing the whole beak so it matches the car

BeLegit

the new tlx is now available ! http://www.acura.com/TLXLanding.aspx
what do u guys think about it?! it kinda looks pretty similar to the 3G i like it

sockpuppet

I've been debating what I want to do. I'll try and call Auto Details tomorrow to book that fender work, and I'll see if I can get a couple of quotes. If you'd like, I'll ask them about a price for the whole beak. Yours is CBP as well...might be some economy of scale.
