^nice, you gotta let me play with it.
I'm looking for a camera, but something more advanced than the D3000.

well after googling, the nikon d60 is very similar to the nikon D3000.
and the d3000 is the successor.

Yeah hopefully Carmax can replace the whole button cause it's not saving #1 as the primary driver.

I like your TL, I wanted that color ext. initially.

How much do you want for them? "I are LEGEND" welcome to the 3rd Gen Family. If you have any questions feel free to ask me or any of use. I've always owned Hondas/Acuras so I know anything you'd ever have a question about.

Stay Safe bro,

the color name is Nighthawk black Pearl, or NBP.
to find the color code, there is a placard on the drivers door jamb.



The arrow shows where the code will be.
usually six digits, starting with a letter.

I thought it was but have noticed that the guys who own the type-s in blue all claim NBP.

Did you end up shooting today?

Ha, well it was worth it (imo). Can't get enough of em.

The 2011 Nav disc isn't worth it, right?

^it only updates POI and new roads.
it will not transform it into something that it's not, ie: better graphics, better functionality, etc.
for 200 dollars, its not worth it. better figure out the streets of Houston, quickly!

I think I'll get it then. With all of the travel I do, updated routes is very important to me.

Also got a quote and will be dropping the car off for tint tomorrow. 35% - 20% - 10% w/ moleskin

Yeah buddy

Thanks for the comments. It's on a decline, not sure if that matters.

After looking at these pix, I'm not happy with how they turned out. I need some new glass. Hope to give it a real top to bottom detail on Saturday morning (minus wax, will wait till I come over to your place Justin to do that), then will do a full on photo shoot.

Yeah no rush on the wax. The paint is pretty nice. I just want to get every nook and cranny (within reason).

LEDS are either on or off.
when the interior dims, its feeding the bulb less and less power.
I dont know about the hyper whites. if they are a traditional bulb, it will dim.

Should be swapping in some new DRL's tomorrow. Also hope to detail and take some decent pictures (for real this time).

I had a squeak in my belt when it was idling. I noticed more on wet, humid days. You can buy some belt grease from auto zone. I put some on and it hasn't squeaked since.
