Could it have been damaged on the lift by the rim place?

Took the car to acura...they kept it said it need a complete cat from front to back and the 02 sensors are done all covered under warranty..gave me a 08 tl loaner and the loaner sucks! I dont know if its because i used to my 6spd but the ride is horrible i cant wait to get my shit back only features i like on the loaner are the switch blade key (i want) and the nav system is sick...i love the fold down mirrors and the back up cam...i asked them if there was a way i can upgrade the radio to the nav and nigga told me it would come out to be like 12 grand to flip it from non nav to nav the same setup...are they crazy??? Its not that serious he said youll never find a 6spd wit navi its almost rare...i guess im gonna have to go after market

Nah, seriously, my only comment about his situation is that I think it needs to be reset, but yeah, I agree with the guy who has a doggy as his avatar, your dealership CASHED warranty dough...
