don't feel bad, location and timing is everything. They had it priced well below the area average and I had a good rapport with the sales manager and sales guy. I think they were just hungry for the sale.

They started at $9400. I said nah, I like $8500, they came back at $8675 and I said done deal at $8600. They likely made a profit of $3k on it, so they let it go as they just put it out on the lot 2 days before.

I de-lettered the trunk last night. the old residue took some time to get off, but it's all off and looks fantastic.

I ordered Silverstar Ultras last night as well. Still need to order "super white" interior LED/bulbs

same thing happened with me. they wanted $10k, i offered $8k and we settled on $8500. that was 3 years and 55,000 miles ago.

took some pics of the Acura today. I think I'm going to pull off the sunroof visor and I am going to try to straighten the front plate bracket. Can't take it off as there is body damage under there (I did buy this used). The headlights need alignment as well.

thanks. It's a nice section of NY to wander around in.

The car has been clay bar'd. wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. The sides went quick. The top-facing surfaces needed two treatments and is still not 100% of where i want it; I say it is 95%. I understand that I may not be able to get it perfect due to years of neglect

So I straightened the front plate tonight. installed wheel locks. Installed more of the super white LEDs. I attempted to remove the sunroof visor, but there was too much paint rub to clean up, so back on went the visor.

I have to get in the dome LED and the tint gets installed on Wednesday. Going with 15% performance tint (not smokey)
