You realize that in this case you were your own worst enemy? 26 MPH over? Good for those "damn cops"!!

26 over. around here if it is more 25 or more over you can't do deferred adjudication OR defensive driving, u just have to pay the ticket and it goes on your record. hope it is different for you :/

I will say Hondaacuraworld is good about making it right. One of my side skirts was scratched up pretty bad, they had a new one out in no time didn't even want the old one back.

Sorry to hear all that dude. But its not the end of the world. Shit happens sometimes that we can't control just have to go with the flow and realize not everything goes according to how we want to. My buddy always tells me modifying cars aren't supposed to go how we want accordingly and never have any problems/issues along the way if we didn't what fun would it be not running into problems. Keep your head up.

In the grand scheme of things, the ASpec issue is not such a big deal. HAW will most likely make things right.

No need to be so melodramatic.

No worries man Tim @ Honda Acura World is a great guy and will take care of you. I just ordered a few things and they arrived with no issues. One of the pieces was backordered so he went ahead and sent me the rest of my parts so I wouldn't have to wait on the late piece. That's how you treat customers!! Unlike the crappy service I'm getting from Injen! INJEN Customer service SUCKS!!!

Smile look at the bright side

My folks always said every bad thing happens for a reason..just look at the bright side at least u saved a bag of money on lowering the car and nothing went wrong .:so it ain't that bad after all just go to the ticket defense team they should help.......Just becareful and remember Tl is smooth so 76 mph fells like just about 50..
