How many times have you...

When people begin to notice their cars facade has more rock chips then they would like/can stand they usually they take their car to a shop and get the front bumper and hood shot with fresh paint. I want to know who does this, how many times they have done it, the places on the car they have had painted over, and how long they have had their car.

Yeah, this afternoon.

Tomorrow, my dad is driving her to Acura of Baton Rouge, since he works in B.R., to get the OBD scanner fixed (it is inaccessable), the code pulled, and the problem fixed. While he is there he is looking at a 2002 TL-S NBP/Ebony.

Engine malfunction light is on, brake light is on, and I have no VTEC...

Suggestions guys???

I need to have the nose and hood done due to rock chips (56K miles).

I also need to get the driver's door done due to some f*uck keying it.

While I'm at it, I want to put the WW flushmount on and have it painted too.

Probably no VTEC because car is in engine limp mode. Since you were rear-ended, brake light might be on from broken bulb? or split wires? And your exhausts were likely pushed forward, so one of the exhaust sensors might be affected, tripping the MIL.

'02 TL-S black/black? How much? Miles? Any extras?
