He can...for MONEY!
I should have gone this route, had the dealership cut and program mine. On the plus side, I have 3 keys and fobs now.

Send me the switchblade key and your secondary key and we can get it done.

Today, local Ottawa TL came to get his headlights modded.

He removed his red headlight tint (NBP from the ottawa meet posted couple pages back).

Blacked out V2, with amber diffuser removed and projector shroud painted anodized red.

Jeremy....tell me about it....

I got the key from csmenace when he did a GB back in 2008....I got 2 keys and was financially tight so did not get them cut/programmed at that moment....fast forward to 2010, I sold the Driver2 switchblade key....later that year, I was getting my timing belt done at the delearship and told them to cut the key and gave them instructions on how to do it....sure enough the guy didnt line the keys right and messed up the key....

since was tight on cash, I asked them to not charge me for the timing belt service....so the labor was like 500 something, they took 150 off, installed a new serpentine belt for free, so I didnt complain....

but the key was cut wrong, the only way was to swap out my driver2 key to this driver 1 switchblade....then a savior called Thanh wanted a caliper and I wanted the key....funny how karma works....

I owe you a big one Thanh....a BIGGG one

A meet? It was the 3 amigos going out for burritos! They probably didn't even all realize they had the same car!

Black on black TL, huh?! Who has time for that? NOT ME!

Sorry guys, not much progress on my car.
I'm really just waiting to find a local deal on a trunk lip spoiler.

I am always shooting pics, though!

Been home for the last few days, and worked on TSX.

The driver ballast blew on it so instead of paying $200 for a OEM ballast, I went and bought an H7 HID kit for $70 and put it in the D2S projector. So now it's using an aftermarket ballast, and an H7 kit for now.

I bought a D2S to AMP (aftermarket ballast) adaptor which will come in the mail in a week, but for now the H7 in the D2S works fine so my dad doesn't get a ticket. Once the adaptor comes in I can just use the OEM D2S bulb on the adaptor and plug it into the aftermarket ballast.

Went to shoot some pictures.
Oh yeah, dad got it tinted 35% fronts and 20% backs and rear.
