anything with a spray can?

One can was enough to try multiple trim pieces and multiple mess up and still have left overs.

its so easy a cave man can do it.

Well I know that if you dont shift at the right times that it may not be accurate and not the fastest time. Use the paddles

My co worker has a 3G TL, and when it went to the shop he got a Prius loaner. He said that getting up to speed on the freeway he had to floor it or he'd get run over by other cars.

Dave you can turn off econ mode. I think that helps with that engine shut off when stopped. Also might help with your 0 to 60 time. It's that big green button on the left I think

Hey gaiz... if a company (Acura) charges me 14.95 for shipping, but when I receive the package it says they were only charged 5.95 to ship the package.... can I dispute that on PayPal?

rx 330 2012: awful interior, touch and plastics and design were awful

evoque: pretty in and out but with the rear seat room of a c class. no bueno

glk: new one has a decent interior but a meh exterior. sister not fond of the boxy look

rdx: not really any negatives other than the fact that its an acura. my personal pick out of the bunch. fully loaded it comes in at 10k less than all the other competitors and like 15k+ cheaper than the #1 pick

cayenne: made the short list... number 1 pick so far. gorgeous interior and whatnot but its the splurge option

ok so looking for some advice.

i've been with ramsey acura since the beginning of 2010, the sales manager was referred to me by our honda guy who we've been with since like 05. I leased my 2010 TSX and a 2011 MDX Tech from them, i've sent numerous people to my sales guy who is the assistant sales manager, including mrstak, who have purchased cars. almost all of my service has been done exclusively through them, without much difficulty, with the only hitch being charged $150 to do my rear brakes at about 15K miles and being told i can send in the request for the class action then being denied because of my vin.

A few days ago, i called to make an appt to get service done, i needed an oil change, and wanted some TSB's done. My grill has bubbles on it(i have pics), the VTC actuator is fucked up(grinding sound when i cold start for a sec). my passenger side HID also failed(went pink and is now off). dropped off my car wed night, got an ILX loaner. got a call at about 3pm yesterday that they werent covering the grill due to there being evidence of impact to the front grill. they couldn't replicate the grinding sound(my ass, i even took video of it), and didn't mention the oil change or headlight. i called back at 4 after my final and said that i would be coming in at 8am to drop off my loaner and check for the grinding noise, and that i also wanted to speak to the district rep about the grill. they called me at 5pm to tell me that the tech went out again and did replicate the noise, and that they were "good willing" the grill for me, but they needed to order the parts, and it was too late already so i would have to drop off my car after christmas for them to do it. i got there at 8:30 after sitting in traffic for an hour, keep in mind that im on duty and had to be "out of service" while out of response time for the town. gave back the loaner, payed for the oil change, and as i was giving the key after i transferred all my stuff back into my car, i mentioned the headlight because i didn't check it. he told me there was nothing on the paper for the headlight, when i showed him there was and thats the reason i initially called and spoke to him, he said its not warranty due to front impact to the car which affects the seal of the headlight. when i said that is BS because the car was in an accident in june of 2010, and it failing now due to that would be ridiculous, he said they'd look at it when i brought the car back.

i told him not to bother ordering the parts, i wouldn't be back after this BS. i've been dealing with them for years, and they gave me this BS, not even replacing the headlight. and let me tell you, its hard as hell to see with 1 HID vs 2.

i have several dealers in my area, living in north jersey. i have 1 about 20 minutes away, 3 that are 40 min in each direction, plus the ones in NY. this one is 40 minutes away, but i've been loyal to them. now im pissed off.

im just looking for suggestions. should i email the Service Manager, should i just put up this story on Dealerrater.com, should i do both? i dont have a big problem going to one of the other dealers, especially because my guy at this dealer tried to give me a shitty deal on a new lease for my TSX
