Inherited a 98 - Need Advice

Hi!

I just inherited a 98 Primrose CL 98 3.0 Prem. It has some nasty scratches along the right side mirror and a dent in the front bumper (The front license plate holder looks like it's ready to come off as well). Can anyone recommend a body shop in the SoCal area?

Also, I noticed that when I have the lights on and the turn signal going the lights on the panel (Shift, radio, clock, dash) all dim and return to normal in unison with the turn signal. This occurs until I turn the turn signal off. Any ideas on what is causing this and how I can fix it?

Thanks,

ILoveAcura

I really do love Acuras. This is my second Acura and my fourth Honda.

We all love acuras here, well most of us anyway. As far as the lights, sounds like you need a new switch relay for your turn signals. Search on here, several people have had this problem. The relay runs about $150-200 I believe. As far as a body shop, I couldn't help you but theres a lot of so cal people on here that can answer. Welcome to the forum and enjoy the CL. They're mega pimp

Thanks for the welcome and the info about the switch relay. I'll look into it.

For the body shop, I live in Redondo Beach but can really go anywhere in the greater LA area as long as the shop is 'fair and honest'.
