I was reading magazines in borders books on rt3 in clifton nj.
I walk out and see a new lex gs320 and when i walk up to my car he sped off.. I look and the cracked my bumper in half and stole my passenger headlight..
Scumbags...
Watch out for a maroon gs320 in NJ stealing lights..

Dude, that f*#ken sucks balls. If I got someone doing that to my car, I would beat the living shit out of them. Sorry about that man.

Is it just me or do you have the worst f'en luck with your car?

Your insurance must be $10,000 a year by now.

yES I DO HAVE THE WORSTE LUCK WITH THIS CAR, iM ABOUT TO SELL IT AND CUT MY LOSSES BEFORE I LOSE MORE..
mY INSURANCE IR 2600 UNDER MOMMYS NAME, BUT SHE KICKING MY OFF AFTER THIS YEAR.. sUX FOR ME!!

If the headlight is stolen, is that coverd under the factory warranty, or insurance?

It's covered under your auto insurance policy's Comprehensive Fire & Theft coverage, which usually has a deductible of $100 to $300.

damn sorry about what happened... that fuckin sucks...

but there's no such thing as a GS320...

THat sucks bro, Sounds like my INS, I'm at $1,900 every 6 months. And I got nothing on my record. Guys how many times have I said it, gotta keep the glock cocked and nearby for these situations. HAHAHA, I'm just fucking around but I would have def. chased the sonofabitch and fucking end his life that day. Unless he was in a GS320 cause I would be like DUDE WTF never heard of that car. So I wouldn't know what to do

Sorry about that shit man.

iT WAS A GS430 THEN..

WHATEVER, THIS SUX SOO BAD, I HAVE THE WORSTE LUCK..
I BEST BE HAVING SOME GOOD LUCK COMMING AROUND..

yo i would have chased him down and teach him a lesson, if i cant stop him i would at least crash into him, put him to the wall/divider/tree, ur cls should be good enough for the 320, 300, 430, 400 whatever that was.

You guys wouldn't know what to do. You would be standing there just like he did wondering WTF just happened... By the time you even think about chasing, its too late, and u have a bumper and light to replace.

Come on man, you know damned well hindsight is 20/20.

Dude i had no clue that someone would even try that shit in a patrolled parking lot.
I was also parked in the very first spot, big dog parking..
You cant own anything nice anymore cuz that haters will just fu@k it up for you!!

No shit man. Makes u wanna fucking lock the body of your car with armor don't it?

Sorry Matt. That truly sucks. I can't believe someone would try that in an open area. Holy shit. I just wanna keep mine locked up in the garage!

Yeah too bad u cant lock it up in a mall or other places.
The worste part about it is they didnt even do a good job getting the light.
They cracked the whole housing and only made out with the bulb, in the process they ripped my whole bumper off cracking it in half so half the bumper is hanging off..

From what I understand, the housing is practically useless to the theives. They're after the HID bulbs and ballasts.

How much does the bulb and ballest cast that they would sacrifice $3000 damage for it?

Sorry to hear that. Makes you wonder the nerve of some people......let alone parked in the "money spot"!!!! JESUS!!! I even read somewhere that that 'fad' had gone by the way side. Scary....I guess it's a good thing I don' tlive in Jersey or NY......I guess that's where most of that crime happens. Don't know what I'd do if that situation presented itself to me. I'd probably just stand there dumb-founded and by the time I was enraged enough to go kick some ass, it'd be too late. You get a lisence plate by chance?! Probably all happened so fast. At least you can keep your eyes peeled for those fucks, and if you're fortunate enough to do something about it...be prepared to kick some ass my friend.

Legit aftermarket HID conversion systems are quite expensive ($500+).

It seems as if Acura's front bumper design is easy to compromise. I haven't heard of any other car brands that have had this kind of problem with HID theft. (Although it might just be that TL/CL's are selling in higher numbers than other HID equipped vehicles...)

Hopefully this HID theft trend will curb once there are more HID equpped cars on the road.. (Altima, Camry, Maxima, etc...)

Unless your a decent size, i'd like to see you put up a fight with a thief...


BTW WTF, he's rolling in a GS430 and stealing lightbulbs, what a dumb.

Dammit Stoned I knew this type of post was coming but it still hurts. (I _know_ how it must hurt you though). Living in the same general area I had yet to hear of the HIDS being ripped around here, just over the water in NY. But now that its happened I'll be glancing thru my windows more at my car.

Let us know the outcome, cost....etc.

Good Luck

That fucking SUCKS! I have been to that bookstore before too and that place is usually packed. That guy must have some big ass balls to do that shit out in the open.

BTW, if he was driving a lexus (whatever model), WTF did he want with your HIDs when he has his own. Probably for one of his buddies or to sell that shit.

Did you at least catch his license plate #?

Carry a gun. Use it.

sorry about what happend but why would someone with a lexus jack CLs headlights tho??? mayb it was some 87 civic hb in front of the lexus...

thats the only thing that sucks about newer acura cars... everyone knows we have HID standard.

That's what I'm talking about,

I am almost possitive it was the maroon GS that took it..
I didnt even think something like that would happen in that paking lot so i didnt even think twich when the lex drove off to look at the plate.

I am taking it to my claims office monday to get an estimate.
I think alot of the HID are getting stolen in this area, i seen 1 or 2 at Park Ave Acura my last vist.
