Finally got my wheels fixed. Guy said 2 weeks. Turn out to be 6 weeks! I'm just glad to get him back I asked him about the damage on the inside of the lip and he said thats just how they sit on the rack when they're getting coated. WTF? All the wheels have damage like that around them I mean you don't see it due to it being on the inside. But I have had wheels coated before That didn't look like that. Color used is Kingsport Gray. Love the color very OEMish. He said three of them were bent and he fixed all of them. Took the wheels and tires to discount tire to mount them up and I just realized they used clip-on weights on the inside. To the factory waffle wheels have clip-on weights from the factory for inside lip??!! He would think they would have just used tape weights on the inside outer .

They couldn't do the rear because it max out? I called it BS. Have a Honda special shop or dealer checking to see if you got the Honda infamous frozen trailing arm to toe adjustment. Every single TL living in snow state having this kind of issue and the solution is to cut the arm and drill the bolt out as its completely seized.
For the seat torn, you can get replacement set (just a cover even you buy OEM) from Ebay or your local seat shop can fix by replacing the entire perforated insert. As far as suspension goes, if you ever decided to go coils BC coil is a must as Tein are soft even at it full stiff setting.

i honestly don't believe they can get that light.. That is nuts. Mine is a daily driver with an automatic. only weight reduction i will do is remove the spare wheel and accesories and maybe the rear seat, and that is just to help with gas mileage.
I already got the koni sport shocks. going to get those installed with the factory springs. They were on sale via tirerack for like $340 for all 4 shipped.

I'm up here in north KC and come summer I'll likely be getting another daily and put my KBP to weekend duty...and then I'm gonna start doing more fixes to the KBP once it moves to weekend car....so one of the things i might be doing is getting the A-spec wheels redone to get some of the small nicks/rashes fixed up. Nothing too bad though I don't think.

Sorry for the stupid late response. But yes it is haha.
Yes it was. nanmo wheels. olathe ks. need to contact him because i took the wheels off before winter and one has a 1/4'' spot that flaked off. original finish underneath it. I don't understand why he didn't blast them before coating them. he said that it can causing pitting or something on why he didn't do it. :/
Well the TL is at the shop having a set of new powerslot drilled and slotted rotors put on in the front. Car has 139k miles. Brakes were last done by original owner when the car had like 76k miles by Acura.
They are going to bleed the brakes too. Unfortunately the 2 bracket bolts that go in the driver side caliper broke off. So they ordered a reman brembo caliper. Going to be an expensive brake job! Will post the numbers when I get the car back tomorrow. Will be nice not to have a grinding noise when braking at low speeds haha
@4drturbo Was it a local guy in KC?
