To make this thread relevant, I'll ask a question regarding my 3GTL.


How easy is it to change that side light on the passenger side of my 07TL? The one by the front wheel. It's kind of flickering on and off

I swear so much crap breaks down on my TL it's not even funny

Modern Acura reliability. It's that kind of thrill.

Side marker . People replace it with DEPO ones all the time. Very simple.

Pretty sure it's just pressure fit into place. Just gotta carefully pop it out, without scratching the paint. When you unplug the wiring harness, don't let it fall inside the fender, or else you will be one unhappy camper.

I don't like depo head or tail lights. I think they're shit. I mean, there's a reason why they cost 30% of oem parts. Can't comment on the side markers, but if I was changing them out, I'd go oem. You know they'll last the next 12 years without issue.

Up to you though. I'll gladly admit I'm a whore for the "Stanley" or "Honda" badge on the lights, that no one will ever notice unless they're specifically looking for them

I gotta admit, of all aftermarket light makers, depo are probably some of the better ones, but still... It like seeing a TL without the "Acura" logo engraved in the front. Immediately you're like wtf...

Miz...do not try and pop that out from outside the fender, you'll either break the clip, break the housing, or breaka yo face. Or scratch the paint.

Cut wheel, pull back fender liner (mine was already kinda fucked because of the roll) and reach in, you'll feel two clips (fore and after) on the inside...kinda just press the sides with your fingers. Usually pressing even one side in will work.

Don't go depo...they're noticeably not oem when off.

Fuck....

Still on the hunt.

Adjuster is supposed to go out Tuesday or Wednesday. He told me if he has his 2nd adjuster, then he will get all 17 cars done on Tuesday. I guess 12 cars were in accidents over the weekend. Phuckin people can't drive.

Girl on the phone didn't know today was a holiday which meant they were not open to do any claims.

A system in MMORPGS which determines what character a particular mob will attack. Threat is gained during an encounter generally by attacking, healing, or taunting. For instance, threat in the MMORPG World of Warcraft is gained at a ratio of 1 damage:1 threat and 2 effective heals:1 threat before talents. Generally tanks have abilities that may have a 1 damage:5 threat ratio or greater, allowing them to keep aggro without having to be the highest dps. If enough threat is gained by a particular person, they will "pull aggro."
Also

Roughly speaking, great, with connotations of being so great it's threatening. Origin in the phrase "triple threat---singing, dancing, acting."

Fiiiiiiine myself take it back don't hit the :mommy: button and also..

What?? Myself thought that was like the safest thing myself could do. Four years ago that was the first mod myself saw for the car and loved it. Jeez you are going to hate myself ..

Well, let myself shed a little light on the matter. Some of yourselves know that I am English "Teacher" at HDC and there have been quite a few changes over the past five or so years in what us deem to be acceptable verbiage. Some of the more chronologically-advanced members of this site might not be aware of the recent changes in what passes for acceptable English. (side note: we no longer use terms like "younger" or "older" since us have started to recognize that people am free to identify with whatever "age" they like. Just as oneself may choose to identify with any of 17 or more gender identities, us am free to identify with whatever race we like, and as such the administration at HDC have decided to extent the identification prerogative to the traditional measure of "age" as well.)

In the past,

But that am not the way us do it today, at least at HDC. Us recognize that every teammate am special in them individual ways (side note: us no longer use the term "student" or "teacher" as that has an implied hierarchical order and we don't want to impart undue stress on us "teammates" as themselves learn) and that they may choose to communicate in unique ways. As long as them are able to get their point across in a logical manner, it are acceptable.

So, OP am free to refer to himself as "myself", "me", "I", "MonkeyTrucker", "Chim-Chim-the-Doorknob-Humper", or any other term that gets himself's point across. Since we've begun to accept English assignments via text message, we am also begun to accept emojii as acceptable identifiers as well ( ).

So, to RockstarOneHundredAndFourtyThree, please refrain from pointing out grammatical errors to other members unless yourself: A) know who they are, and B) are *actually* correct in your "correction".

First of all, it's "" not :asian:.... reported for not knowing the one emoji US have...


secondly, I think the C mod is overdone... I'm not personally a fan of it, I think it's also very hard to be creative on this platform since it's been out for so long already; not much you can think of that isn't already done.


With that being said, it's your car. Do what makes yourself happy.
