This was my weekend: On Saturday I happen to have run over this nastyyyyyy pothole. You know, the ones where you FEEL the rim getting f$%ked up. I pull over and it looks ok, except now I have a BUBBLE in my driver side tire. A Bubble!! Looks like a small ass tit. I could care less about the rim (leased car), but the tire is what I am worried about. What are my solutions on that?!!

Sunday: While examining the tire I notice the Acura symbol on the grille to be in more than I thought. Looking closer, I find that my grille was hit AND a large scratch on the front bumper. I think only the grille is messed up, so I'm hoping that I can get away from buying one of those. Will a 2002 grille fit a 2003 TL? I'm pretty sure it will, but I just want to double check.

Yikes! You may want to get another tire soon. Riding in a tire that has a bubble is not safe. You can even report the pothole to the city and should pay for your tire. But takes forever and you will need to take a picture of the pothole etc.

About the grill I think 02-and 03 should be the same. 99-00 are different. Not sure about the 01. Can someone confirm?

99-01 grilles are all similar, and 02-03 grilles are different from these.

Got my tire replaced by a used one ($45). A grille is looking to be around $100. Does that sound good?
