nice, Dan!
Always hated how the lights lined up on the front...love the Cobra R's...and would have probably given it a drop, but that's not necessarily what you were going for when trying to do a wheelie, right?!

ok so i talked to a person at acura client relations today and they said my car was WAY out of warranty and because of that they would be generous to offer to pay 25% of cost. So basically it would cost me roughly 1500 to replace the dash. I told him thanks anyways and that i'd get raped somewhere else and hung up. So rockstar, have a link for that dash mat?

sounds like your "install" 9 months ago went pretty well...
I wish you luck with the install tomorrow.

about the dash, they juiced the cost up for you to cover the entire thing btw...at least at my acura dealership it was $1400...they offered me 50% good will...so i would have had to pay $700 to have it done. Still too much for something they can't guarantee me won't happen again and something I was cautious to avoid and diligent to prevent on a, then, 8 year old car.

J.

here is the one I ordered, but the one from autoanything...other than name and the tag color, is exactly the same thing for much less.

and here is the link to the acurazine thread where it was discussed and pictures posted:

Anil...I don't see how you rolling a blunt while driving with your kid in the car is any better, man. Sorry, even if you're super good and put honey on it and everything...you're going to have to take your eyes off the road.

LOL i think you did misunderstand me....

i meant imma drive sooo slow that people behind me will be honking at me....imma try to be as safe as i can with the baby on board....can't believe some parents would risk them and the baby by cutting thro traffic and wanting to race when they have a baby in the back seat...

now if "traffic jam" is a code word for something then thats my bad, else it yours?

I was joking with the wife and justified lowering the car as it would make it easier for the kids to get into
