^i would agree...BUT since he already has it installed and bolted down (and probably only has a few gaps) the 3M tape would be impossible to use without removing everything.

your call gatrhumpy!

I'm so glad you brought back AOL from 1997. All we need now is 14.4k modems and a Romance chat to meet married women who hate their husbands.

How did I not click on this thread for the pst 5 months. Love the idea.

You won't be disappointed, the Avengers was amazing, don't drink anything though, it's 2.5 hours long and if you miss something you'll regret it lol

same shit with me and my gf. We were going to the 6:20 showing but couldn't sit together because everyone had like 2 seats and then 1 seat in between, so we went to dinner and got the later one. At dinner I had sweet tea, bad idea. Had to go before the movie and then when the movie was over I thought I was going to piss myself, I jumped over the seats and ran

since you already have it on...i would leave it. just get some emblem adhesive and something thin (like a Qtip) and apply the adhesive on the area that isn't flush...then press and hold until it bonds.

also you gotta keep in mind that everyones car is a little different. nothing will be perfect.
I have to pick some of the 3M tabs up. I can fit one finger in between the front bumper and the front spoiler, so the tape would not be a problem. I hope it works too. Is it generally stronger than the OEM stock stickers on the front spoiler?

^they had happy hour til 6...so i got 2 of them for $2.50 but the rest were $5

also had a $10 off coupon so that came in handy.

bottom line, i had to piss like a racehorse about 20 mins into the movie.

if you have room to play with, then def get the 3M double sided tape (red stuff)...it's VERY strong. much stronger/thicker than that crap acura puts on there.

You mean the 3M tabs that are used to hang picture hangers right?

That's what I always use. Well the wider equivalent at least. It's probably the same exact thing Shark.

I emailed them to let them know they made a mistake on the miles but I haven't gotten a reply back . I said that price reflects a car that has 20,000 miles on it. I want it.

A dealer (Miami Acura) did the same thing to me when I wanted to buy my Type S. They would not budge on the price, so I ditched them.

Yep. The car that I wanted had 56K miles on it and Miami Acura wanted $25K for it. No thank you.

They were just the type of dealership that was like "my way or the highway"...not willing to negotiate anything... After finally getting my car, I had to wait 2 months to get the nav disc. They told me I would have it within 2 days of picking the car up. When it finally came in, it was the oldest disc made, beat up and from ebay. They basically told me, you have a disc, that's what we promised. Was the only place around with a 6 speed/nav, so I sucked it up and played their game.

Damn, that sucks, my dealer was the same way with the TL floor mats. I had to heckle them for 3 weeks to get them and even then he just robbed them out of another TL. The night I bought it he tried to give me TSX mats and I told him no, I wanted them to match (Napleton's Acura in Palm Beach)
