Well, after a month of driving a rental Grand Prix, I will never drove a domestic car again, please don't tell me I'm exaggerated.
1) I spent almost $20 more on gas every week, I drop my jaw on the frequency of filling up gas.
2) The car is heavy and won't roll on a hill if you pop it into neutral; feels like a boat; engine vibration when turn up the A/C; not smooth gear, yes AT, and....
3) Super high C pillar and it was hard for me to back in (I'm short 5'5) but yeh, sucks.
4) Bad aerodynamic? Once you open up the window the wind will blow straight to ya face, hard. It's rarely an option for me to open the window
Enough of this and I swear..... don't ever rent an American car. Don't flame. 1blue1.gif
Not sure if anyone cares but here's some quick pix @ the shop, suppose to pick it up today, but, one of the HID ballast went wrong and they needa order it, probably picking it up tomorrow.
Cell Phone Camera quality, no more photoshooooot until all other toys arrive, enjoy.

I'm sure it's not the nicest TSX out there but I know alot of you (including myself & my gf) likes it.
Well, what happened was, my lil bro just came back from Ottawa yesterday from his University Summer Course break for 2 weeks. Usually I'm a bitch and never let him touch it, and he has to drive my dad's MB most of the time. Somehow I was being generous last night, and let him drive it to pick up his gf to our house.
The accident happened right outside my house, @ a 4-way stop intersection. According to both driver, they both stopped. I called that BS because from the damage I think he's running @ a high speed. But since I'm not there I shouldn't comment on it. I trusted my bro 100% and I knew his grandpa driving style, but what can I do. I was totally shocked when I walked home w/ my gf from a near by park. The car was so familiar until we walked closer, I kinda knew it's my car.
The cops didn't put a charge on either driver, and we need to wait for the insurance report tomorrow.
My bro and his gf is alright, so does the other driver, no injury. I don't wanna blame anyone, I guess it's luck.
A quick estimate from Berry (Velocity) said it will cost $7000-$8000 to fix in total, but will need the insurance adjustor to confirm.
I'm so sad.

#1. i know you love your bro and are glad nobody got hurt but slap him across the back of the head one time and just say "think next time you drive someone elses car" then give him a hug and tell him you love him.
#2. just think, you can either fix it up and maybe make it better than it was before.
Even better, either fix it up to where its driveable for a while or get something temporary and think about investing in an 09.

Plan -->
Buy back my car when the lease ends. Use it as daily driver + Winter beater.
Used S2000 convertible for summer + track.
It's my dream...... let's hope it comes true.

the jdm kit looks nice on white... i liked the oem kit for black though... the lines are a bit more aggressive and stick out better on a black car... though that grille is pretty fuckin tight.
can i get just a euro grille like that but still have the acura A on it?

There are screws on the back of the chrome pieces and the hood trim. You should go that route and paint them if you want to keep the A.
