New owner.
Purchased a WDP with Tech and 18" gunmetal wheels. Love it! The car is a beauty! I will probably have the front beak painted white. I like the ronjon, but it is a bit pricey. Gonna de-badge it tomorrow and windows tinted soon.
Is the window tint a big deal? Do I need to worry about where I take it or is it pretty straight forward? Not a lot of options in town. |
Welcome and Congrats! I would look into ceramic tint especially since you have Tech. Huper Optik is what I have and its the best tint Ive ever had on a car.
|
I'll see if anyone does it locally.
Thanks! |
if its "A Beauty"...Why paint the Beak?..jmho..
|
^ Why do most people do things to their cars, including cosmetic? Cause they want to :shrug:
|
The strange thing about the beak is that once you get behind the wheel and start driving, it matters less. I too had plans to paint or do something to the grille, but now feeling that I would rather put the money towards the TEIN setup....
|
^ good choice. Im thinking the same thing, but for the test pipe and j pipe.
|
Congrats on the new car. Sounds like you got the deal you wanted.
Post up some pics when you can. |
finally!!!...check with the dealer and see who they use to tint, or just do some homework and see who does good work...make sure when they tint the rear windo, they remove the 3rd brake light cover and tint under it...some people like to trim around it...i dont like that look

Congrats RealGone. Post up some pics. There's a few nice paint options for the nose. Let us know what you decide.

This is a thoroughly discussed topic. If you're an aesthetic guy, you'll consider painting it. If you're a performance guy, it's not as much of an issue. |
Congrats on your new ride. Did you went ahead and purchase from Acura of Bellevue or did you get a better deal in Seattle?

There are no local shops that have this, but I contacted Huper Optik and they said there is a place about an hour away that does have their products. I think it is probably worth the drive.

Well the stress is over. Time to enjoy you new auto. Sometime soon i hope they'll be an acura meet in the Seattle area before the rainy season get here.

Well, the nearest shop that installs huper optik is about 72 miles away. Not too far and I would do it, but they gave me a price quote today, $550. The guy also said that a problem with some Acura's is that they do no have felt on the inside of the windows and if that is true with my car, he will have to charge $10 per door to install the tint, otherwise it would scratch the film and that is not warrantied.
I am seriously thinking I will pass. I would really like it, but that is a little steep when I can regular tint for a little over $200 locally. What a bummer. |
