and the letters will be polished and then he will apply the clear.

I want to make the bolts black so I ordered some small kit from caswell. its a black oxide kit and said to work pretty well.

trying to buy black torx bolts in small quantities is impossible.

It took 32 hours for the GPS/Navi to get from Hong Kong and into my hands. It's in a big box too. Now I have a weekend project!

I wonder if that will increase the value of your car when you sell it?

the used market generally doesnt care.
if a certain car is priced high, on to the next one.

there are hundreds of thousands of TSX-es on the road.

like any sane person who doesnt have a disposable income; i'm betting that Ryan will keep the tsx for a while anyway, and did the navi for his pleasure/gain.

There will be much pleasure if the Navi works correctly.

I plan on keeping the car for many more years. I've put so many hours into this car. I don't even think about resale value. The hope is 5+ years down the road the resale value will have gone down enough with or without my mods.

The current auction price of this car $32,900 – compared to the $41,535 MSRP of a new TL with Advance Package back in 2012, with only 1,111 miles on it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acura-TL-Base-w-Advance-2012-acura-tl-advance-s-h-i-e-l-d-avengers-movie-collector-vehicle-only-5-/221358374218?forcerrptr=true&hash=item3389fcbd4a&item=221358374218&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

I feel this should be PyroDip's car. It comes with emergency lights already installed lol.

Well i guess most people don't really want a TL with logos and numbers and a bar on the front. But for those who don't care it's a pretty good deal. Wheels look pretty good too imo.

I don't think it makes a difference. If you have the K24 your car will sound a million times better.

Yup. Typical TL buyers would not buy a movie prop.

I on the other hand would buy it, then get arrested for impersonating a police officer and also wrecking cars with the push bar.

As I am being dragged through the police station, I'd be yelling, "GET DIRECTOR FURY ON THE LINE!".

Yep. There's a little bit of extra material on each side that you can use to hold on to it as you're putting it on. You'll need to cut that off afterwards.

It looks like this:

Depends on which windshield washer fluid is in your car and what its rated at. The car I'm in right now (1993 Mercedes 500SEL) has heated windshield washer fluid, its dope. Everytime you use that shit you can see the water evaporating or whatever. Lol

American racing is a joke, and it provided more than enough evidence to support that statement during the 24 hours at Daytona Rolex Tudor Sportscar united stupid name series.

The icing on the shit cake was taking the victory from the winner post-race with a bullshit imaginary penalty that video evidence refuted, announcers refuted, and everyone but the new race winner refuted.

Disgusting.
