Dan. 1st off, looks awesome.
2nd, I really wanted to thank you for being so open about your transaction with Acura. It really helped me build a case for what I was willing to pay. I now have a new dash too...didn't even realize Tyler had this issue too.


Were you advised not to put ANYTHING on the dash from now on?

That's great to hear. They didn't tell me anything about the dash as far as cleaners. I'll probably pick up some 303 and just use that

Looking great Dan! When will the lip be back from the paint shop?

Also, remove that damn pissing on UNC sticker. I don't like them either but that looks like dookie.

Ever think of throwing a roof spoiler on there? I think it will look nice. I like those style tips are little better than the slightly bigger 3'' quads. Those seem to tuck in a little better than mine.

Honestly at first, I didn't think the lip would fit over them. There is only about a 1/8 inch gap between the tips and the lip on the sides


I've never really been a fan of roof spoilers but it might grow on me

The length of those tips are a little shorter and don't stick out as much as mine. From certain angles, I don't like the looks of mine.

I never thought I'd buy a roof spoiler, but now it's one of my favorite exterior mods.

Hell, at certain angles before the lip, it looked like mine stuck out 2-2.5 inches. Now it's not so bad and ill look into a roof spoiler. Might look into a black one since the last 2 exterior things I am going to do is black roof and wheels

I've used 303 exclusively on my dash and never had any problems.

I love 303 - some people swear by using nothing on the dash as they say products can cause cracks, and some people swear by using it to prevent cracks :\
