Where's the front windshield?
No more chip in the windshield. It's kinda weird watching someone remove your windshield. It was the best way to clean those hard to reach places though.
:thief:
A stone chipped it on Wednesday. I had it replaced for $100. Better than repairing it for $75. The chip was directly in my line of sight.

Nice lookin car man...I've had a vibration ever since I bought my TL. Its driving me crazy...I brought it back to the dealer 2 times already and they said the wheels were "bent"...so they "fixed" them....yet it still vibrates. I know for a fact that its not the wheels...because I just bought new wheels, and it still vibrates. I'm pretty sure its a wheel bearing.

I reduced my Comprehensive Deductible about 3 years ago from $500 to $100 and it increased my premiums about $100 a year. It is well worth it for the 2 cars.

OH NO!!!!!
The reason for this "demo"....
When I got the car the passenger side was scratched pretty bad. It was on the list of things to replace. Dealerships wanted about $300 a side to replace them.
So I went the other route....the Blackmarket.
I will try to take some day time pics tomorrow. Me and Elliott washed the car today but it was dark by the time I got done.
It is difficult to see on these pics but they fit perfectly.

Suppose to be dry the next couple days so I figured I'd do a little wax-on-wax-off.
The side skirts I got to replace my scratched ones were from a Type S. I really like how they look.

Damn I love CBP. Gorgeous color.
And I agree, the Type-S sideskirts look great!

Update
Friday evening Elliott and I washed it. Friday night when he went to be I debadged it and clayed it bumper to bumper. Took about 2.5 hours and a lot of work but it has never been cleaner. Saturday morning I put a nice coat of wax on it. Saturday afternoon I changed the oil and rotated the tires. While the wheels were off I cleaned and waxed those as well.
Shiny....
All total I think I spent about 7-8 hours working on it this weekend and unfortunately I didn't even get to the interior or under the hood. I will try to carve out some time this weekend to take care of that.
BTW, the car is just under 110K. I have some dings on the car and the front bumper and hood has a couple stone chips on it but I will have to live with that for now.
Next up will be to swap the suspension. I have a set of 6 speed (full corners) to install. They have no miles on them. The previous owner swapped them for Aspec within the first 1000 miles or so.
I will do the ball joints and probably do a RSB at the same time. Passenger side ball joint has a tiny tear in it and I can squeeze grease out. Every so often I hear a click when I turn. I'll get Acura to confirm that is what I need to do.
Next oil change I will also do a 1x3.

120k and some change.
I've barely driven 2k miles since December though. I've been at school and I'm not working.
