Thanks, appreciate it man! That's a damn good deal.

How is this? Looks like a good deal. '08, 84k miles, $17.9k (probably haggle it down to $16-$17.

http://priorityacura.com/Chesapeake-...r-Car/8521985/

Or I'm thinking of upping it & going with the Type-S. $21.9k (try to haggle it down), 71,252mi

http://www.hallacura.com/certified/A...19d8f41760.htm

I'm gonna put down a $3k down payment either way, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I can get spring compressors from a buddy. I have regular tools (no air wrench or compressor), 4 jack stands, hydraulic jack, and only 4x experience dropping cars. I live in a condo and my parent's house/garage is junked up.

I was trying to get it done with a fellow member, but I don't want to get them in trouble at work for doing side work. Seems like I need to get my hands dirty again. I will pay and work if anyone has a location to get it done. I got some other people that may do it also...otherwise I'll just ride stock. No big deal or rush on dropping it though.

Piecing together this Aspec + Koni suspension is difficult. No one is selling Aspec anything and Konis are freaking expensive brand new.

Tints in south side Hampton roads

Hey all,

Been awhille since I posted, but recently got a ticket for my tints in Va Beach (asshole cop trying to make quota!). Does anyone recommend anywhere local that does tints plus moleskin for a good price/quality work?

Thanks!

I know i've asked this before and pm'd a few of you guys, but seeing if anyone else could chime in. anyone have any hook ups on state inspections? or at least know a place that doesn't care too much? i.e, tint, lowered, catless, etc.
