I will try or I will find some. ITs really quite cool! You have 5 settings for the 3 primart colors so you can get a bunch of different shades of colors too. Thats how they get so many....

What is takeing so long....well I think the place that has it is really hurting after the storm and the guy behind it also isnt pushing it along. I dont know but I got my ins company involved again and there is more progress. I am bringing him 2 new tires tomorrow for the right side of the car...I told him I expect the car to drive 100% straight when I pick it up and now he cant try and blame the old ones on the right and the new ones on the left. I hope this it getting close to an end
I stll need to sell it. I want to get 20k for it with all the mods and new rubber. Think that can happen?

Another cool thing about the color stuff when you get low on gas and your in any color except red the gas gauge will turn red for a warning light.

Heh actually this thread is much older than a month....its almost at 1 year
I shit you not....this ordeal has almost taken up a year of my life 
I don't think the problem is the car....its the shop working on it. I don't understand why on earth this guy doesn't finish this shit and be finished with me. Altho he got paid for the work he did already and my ins co had it closed. I quickly told them thats not the case and explained. No now they are now involved in it again.
Today I am calling again and if he doesn't have something other than im trying to still get blah finished I am calling someone. I don't know who but I am going to try another approach...the news...lawyer...something. Because me and the Ins Co. is not cutting it!
I never set up that big ol tank...Katrina hit and WIPED OUT my 110 that I was going to transfer. I am now moving in a year so since I had nothing I didn't want to get started again and have to move it all. Hurricane season is now only 15 days away
Now for what I want for the car...03 6spd 56k non nav....im honestly going to try to sell it around my area for 20k with the mods. High price...maybe but it does have a AEM CAI, CT headers, springs, and sways, STB HKS exhaust, tint and 4 brand new toyo 235/45/17. I will even leave what audio gear is in it now...that is a audio control 4.1 EQ mounted above the stock 6 disc and CDT front and rear speakers...no amps or subs (its a good start to a good system). Its going to drive just like it used to or im not takeing it back....and the body shop knows it!
Now if someone on hear wanted it I would conceder a lower offer (PM me)

well if spewed oil everywhere, then the oil pan tore into the crank, meaning you may need a new block. With all the other damage, it could be totaled.

Ok I need to know something ASAP!!! What (if any) chips OR tuners are out there for this car????????
I just luckily found out some BAD BAD info on my car. This shit is killing me!! I talked to Acura yesterday because my car is supposed to be ready at the body shop. Before I pick up the car I wanted to get a print out of all the records of work done for this wreck just to make sure of things.
I wanted this stuff because I called them a few days ago to ask them a question about a part's letter I got in the mail for the coil packs. For the first time the Acura guy had said the car has a chip in it right! I said no it 100% does NOT have anything done to the computer!! After going in and talking to them he said they can NOT read any codes off the CPU because it modded....like they are locked out of it or something!!
So I asked about the coil packs and how did they come up with them as the problem when the check engine light came on....Acura said it was a guess!! I friggin guess...as in they couldn't read codes for the check engine light so they said uhhhhhh coils and plugs all 6 need to be changed...thats making the light come on due to detonation. The car was making a odd knocking type noise and the light came on and would stay on but only after an hr or so of driving.
Long story short this still isn't done...I have never messed with the CPU so if Acura cant communicate with the CPU something is WRONG with it and its from the WRECK! So I need to know any info on tuners or chips for this car....I may need to prove this to my insurance company!!!!!

He hit my front passenger fender pretty hard and threw me over a curb grinding everything under my lowered car and hit a telephone pole on the driver rear. Car dumped ALL the oil all over. All I could see was the pole heading at me fast...very very scarry. All I had was my friends cell camera when he showed up. I don't know if the car will be totaled or not...depends what it did under it. I am ok but my shoulder is a little sore now. NOT a good day....They are covering all my oil with sand or something
That is wood from the poll. It is in between the rim and the tire...and the tire is still fully inflated!!!!! Thats a hard fast hit! If I was over another foot...I would have taken that pole out...and I could have been hurt bad!!!
By baby...maybe for the last time
So how bad can it be under there...I slid on concrete before the pole to after. I bet its ugly under there.

If it is totalled, you have an excuse to go and get a brand new tl! File on their insurance for everything they've got, and take them to court if they try to leave you with any out of pocket if you have to get a new car.

I'm not worried about the kid and parents...I just want Ins to do the right thing and total the car! Now if the Acura guy is saying he cant link up to the computer there is a major problem with it and thats expensive and necessary! I don't want to be stuck with that!
No way am I looking at anything else...this gt is really fun!
And you arr right, I am glad im not hurt from this other than time and money...I was heading for the pole....things could have been much worse if I didnt smack that 10" curb first!!

UPDATE....this shit is never going to end!
Ok...so low n behold the car goes back to acura to see whats wrong with the ECU...they hook up the computer and tah dah it works. No one knows why it didn't work before and now they DON'T think its modded. SO I am kinda relieved...BUT I don't trust them. So I ask them if I can pick up the car that is now back at the body shop and go to acura and see for my self the computer working properly...they agree.
ON THE WAY THERE GUESS WHAT COMES BACK ON....yup you guessed it...the check engine light is back on...2nd gear at 4500RPM pops it on every time!!! The car is also making the same funny knocking noise. So once im at acura they hook it up and read the codes. MISFIRE in cyl 1,3,&5! This is what they got the first time and thats why they changed the coil packs and plugs. So now they are going to have to dig further....they say maybe injectors...or the valves need adjusting (maintenance stuff not wreck stuff). I know this isn't going to fix it....this problem is from the wreck so something is jarred out of whack. THE CAR COULD STILL BE TOTALED. God I hope the Ins company gets spooked and doesn't want to take the engine apart and just total it...I will laugh in every ones face!!! 12k into it already and 15k is the special number!
More to come.....

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE......this just in
Talked to acura...they have to pull the heads off and go into the engin now....he said the cats are running extreamly hot...could be thousands of dollars...and the acura guy thinks it could be enough to finaly total the car (im at 12 into it and 15 is totaled)!!! He is waiting on my Ins co to call him so he can give them the low down on whats going on and see what they want to do!
How crazy will it be when they tell me my car is totaled after a year of Fing with it!!!!!

You know I really dont know whos fault it is right now...I feel its a little of everyones including KATRINA. The thing that really gets me about all this is my ins co is not going to be out of $...they will go after the at fault co and get there $ back. I think the body shop guy didnt push totaled because he wanted a little slice of the action. BUT above all the missery this has caused me I am still alive and well and now driveing another fun car.....and WHEN they total this car (cuz im not stopping till they do) I am going to put a turbo on my GT to make up for the last year of shit, 450rwhp booyeah bitch!
So I really feel this MIGHT be ending soon! I talked to acura yesterday and they had talked to my ins co....acura said the heads need to come off and things might be cracked and ugly in there (missfire in cyl 1,3,5 ; cats running hot detonation sound). He said your looking at 4-5k easy and then the acura guy then tells me the ins lady let out a big sigh and said God I just want to total this car and be done with it. So it is my feeling they are crunching #'s now to see what to do cuz I have not heard from the ins co yet and they told acura not to do anything. I think I am not going to wait for them to call...I might call today.
More to come......

Yall are NOT going to believe this......I have not talked person to person with the ins co yet just back n forth on 2 messages. They are saying now my modification are what cracked the "header" Yes I said head"er"....but in fact the "heads" are what is cracked. This lady is telling me this in a message and she sounds like a fool because it doesnt make sence.
Acura of all people are on my side saying WTF is the ins co doing. Acura feels the cracked heads are from the wreck and know there is no way a CAI and headers did this. Yes I have CT headers on the car so the fact the ins co is saying my mods are what cracked my uhhh mods is really funny!!! The lady said the adjuster feels your mods are stressing the motor and causing it to overheat and crack the header....funny how a CAI and headers can actualy improve the gas millage....that certianly doesnt sound like stress to me!!
I need to talk to them in person, not in a voice mail....if they dont budge I will take them to court and thats where I will try to make them relize how dumb they are and make them PAY!!!

I just talked to the ins lady on the phone. I started by asking are you reading this ifo your telling me off a report from the Adjuster? Yes she is and she went on to say she may have said the wrong thing....maybe she ment head gasket. I went on to tell her its not even the head gasket....its the actual HEAD is cracked. I then told her how acura explaned that the head gasket blows out when the temp gets to high to protect the heads...and the head gasket is not blown out. I also went on to tell her ACURA doesnt even understand what your doing....they told you it was wreck related!!! She told me she has to talk to the adjuster again and I said no shit!!!
Then this chick tells me how she is so busy with over 177 cases and she cant take a whole day for just me. I told her this has been going on for over a year and she needs to hussle on my case!! I even tried to get the info for the adjuster so I could do the leg work but they dont give out that info. I then told her to have the guy call me and she said he probably would not because they dont get involved with the person.
So...where am i at now....I am waiting on another call from the ins compnay after this ho bag talks to the dooshbag adjuster and then we will see what they say. If they still have the same answer I will be calling my lawyer!
