Id lose my mind if i found gas for $3.44. Lowest i've gotten before the $3.60 was $3.71 and i was super excited. But this was just nuts ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thats Bro, Appreciate the words. Your CU2 is gorgeous!
And yes thats the cheapest i find around my way. I'm sure others in the city may have less but its still above $4.00.

hahahaha the funniest part was that i texted you saying "how much you got left in the tank" and then told you to not fill up till jersey so you could save 50 cents a gallon, AND not pump your own gas. gotta love jersey!!
did i mention it was COLD AS BALLS TODAY? we nearly froze out there, and yes he got sent the fucked up bulbs/ballast, instead of mine. his are the same as the ones npathak used in his DIY, mine have a cap on the connection to the OEM connector.
to add before he puts the DIY on the bumper removal. there are 8 clips holding in the plastic part on top. you have to take that off. then there is a screw in each wheel well. underneath the car, in the middle there is a black liner that sticks about an inch under. behind there, there are 6 clips.

Glad to see white fogs, way more classy than yellow! Yellow just draws attention. If your car looks legit, it'll draw attention no matter what. +1

I think the HID's should burn in a bit and turn less blue after a few weeks...so I would just wait and see if it still annoys you then.

Yooooo, Idk how thoroughly you read my thread but if you don't like how the DRLs look in comparison to the rest of your "white" lights, just pull the fuse. Thats what I did on mine, so now there is no more yellow. The best part though.... if you need your high beams for some reason they still work!!! Just thought you might wanna know.

Not Sure, I've heard it should be $90 but then they add surcharges and a bunch of stuff to rob you.
He didn't clean my window off, Which I heard is supposed to be procedure.
I'll try that in my defense and a "receipt" saying they were removed.
Bro pics make them look so much darker, Ask Kait, Shes seen em in person. Underlight they look non existint. & at night you can still see the parchment interior. I have my Navi Screen Set on White and Brightness all the way up. my interior is so lit at night.
Luckily I only got one ticket, Says what I make out to say ( nasty cop hand writing ) Front D/S Window 25%
I have 35% .. Well supposed to and those meters are always off!
So does it translate to " Front Drivers Side Window 25%"
What sucks is this dude sits on the highway exit ramp to my house and hides everynight. So it's too late when you notice him. Anything, Tints, Hids, Failure to signal from the offramp. This is the first time he's gotten me. So I have a feeling everytime he sees me come home he's gonna know My windows are tinted and use me for his quota. He was the Biggest cock head I swear

I was online tryna order my trunk spoiler today, and i noticed that the trunk lips only come in PWP "White"
If i want my Bellanova White i have to pay An Additional $50 + $25 Shipping + $99 for the spoiler. What a rip off.

Gave it thought, But want to keep it clean and just go with the White
Yep, I messaged another seller, Its $55 + $25 Shipping. So if they can do it it'll come out to $130
The 2 Sellers on Ebay are
TheSpoilerStore
TheSpoilerCompany
BTW Whats this Pyro was telling me about you and detailing your car?
I had posted on FB about needing a sort of paint correction. MY car has been on the roads for 3 months and has more swirls than my STi did and its 7 years newer!!!!
This is probably the cheapest for painted shipped.

Acura's paint are considerable a lot softer then other cars on the market. Which will scratch and swirl a lot easier. Most of the swirls and scratches come improper washing. Once the car is corrected you only need to polish once or twice a year. That means no more bringing it to automatic car washes. ![Smile](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Here a winter prep I did on my car couple months back. Whole project was about 12-15 hours. I do this as a side but hope I can start my own business soon.

I dont have a drive way to actually try this, SO my best bet would be you/body shop.
Ill shoot you a PM now
You could use the fact that he didn't clean your window as your defense but if the cop really is a dick like you say, he's probably gonna keep gunning for you if you get away. If you know where he is, I'd keep lowering my windows before you get to his spot. Problem is since he already knows your car it's kind of hard to go by without him targeting you. ![Frown](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)

Yes im going to try to use it in my defense, Lets see how effed up the city is. If they can do this without following procedure they can do a lot more...
And right. I know he will reconize my car HID FOGS WHITE CAR AND LOWERED comming off the ramp all the time. I actually believe he will pull me over wl my windows down, and tell me to raise my windows. Not sure if they can legally do this. What would be his probable cause to have me RAISE my window if he spotted me windows down? Giving me a prior ticket for tint shouldnt give him the right to make me raise em up to mess wl me. What i might start doing is just bear right on the exit. it splits right and left. Hes on the left i live left, But if i go right i can circle a few blocks and get home. Or just get off on the exit after and take the city streets. 5 extra minutes is worth it. But im not sure ALL THE TIME "/

Anyone have Experiences wl Curry Acura?
I Set up an Appointment to have my Navi Updated
I received a letter in the mail about something needing to be updated but whatever!
They said expect 1.5 hrs, for the upgrade and they will clean my car inside and out Etc?
Also asked about Modding, I had called Paragon Acura and they said theyd install update and inspect vehicle. So i asked Curry about modding, Service lady told me when returning they'd charge me. Convo went on and she said if the car is returned the way we got it then they wouldnt know anything. But if a shock blew it wouldnt be covered under warranty Etc. But they highly suggest not modding a leased vehicle

Just hire Gary. You can watch him as he does his work and he can even explain to you what he's doing and why.
Don't go to Paragon for servicing. I went there once to get some shit done that they couldn't finish before I bought my car...I picked up my car and my navi disc was missing. I was like ??? so i asked the service guy but it was already 7:30 or close to 8pm so all their stores were closed. I had to drive back the next day and tell them I came in with a navi disc..and somehow while they had it, it disappeared. Mind boggling how no one knew where it went. When my service guy asked him manager to take the navi disc from a loaner car, the manager says "who is he?" as in, is he an important client, do i have a long history with them, etc. My service guy was nice so he told him I'm a new guy who somehow got his disc taken. At the end I got my disc and all but still...it's like they thought I was trying to scam them of a navi disc...wtf??

This is what I was talking about with the paint code... But dont worry. Buy the primed one and paint yourself. You can get a can of our paint code for like 15-20 dollars. It will look nice!

I went to a sticker shop and had ACURAZINE stickers made
almost perfect size to fit the rear triangle for our CU2.
My friend got the az ones from the donation and theyre pretty small in size, So i had it made about 1.5 inches longer and a little taller. I will install tomorrow and take pics

EDIT: it's not only for the laughs... but when I see the transaction online I know that I wasn't charged anything extra and I know it was me and not anyone leeching off my card somehow.
