lol thanks...
Gimme till June :wink:
As Anil know I booked off work for June 6,7,8,9. I just found my passport today and it expires July 2015.
Looks like I'm set to head to Kansas---assuming I'm not taking summer classes (or there are no classes around that time)

Aspec Front Lip Cover Up
Hey guys have a question for all you locals with an aspec kit on your 3g TL. I have some front bumper damage (pictured below) I was wondering if this could be covered up with the aspec front lip without replacing the whole bumper. If so, does this damage affect any mounting of the lip (at what points does the front lip mount to) Thanks guys!!

^^Will it be all right to mount with the hole right where it is? Does it need to be screwed down in that place? I just don't want to order it if its not going to work

04-06 aspec kits did not need to be screwed in....07-08 models (base and type S), a hole had to be drilled in the bumper to put the aspec on...
here are some pix of my 2005 5AT, you can make an educated guess if it will cover it (I hate to say it, that it will cover it, and it doesnt

Have you priced getting the bumper fixed/replaced? Might not be too much more to get the bumper fixed than to get the aspec lip.

No I priced the bumper it's roughly 700 painted I was just going to use this as an excuse to get the whole kit, but don't want to commit if it's not going to cover up the hole

Allright, so I have been trying to do some research on my damage and I've gotten two different answers. I talked to Hendrick Acura and they said two of their techs said it would cover the damage, but they are not 100% positive. I also talked to a body shop and they say it would not cover it what should I do here any ideas??

You dare come back if you don't hit up Amsterdam
That's awesome dude...you should plan on visiting Ferrari and Lamborghini...maybe even Pagani...
You might want to book them soon because I hear there is quite a waiting period for them...

Sorry no Amsterdam. Anyone is welcome to come with me though. Right now it's primarily Italy and Greece I'll be going to. Depending on schedule I may throw in a couple days at either Austria or Switzerland.
I need to get everything figured out asap so I can get the trip booked. I'll be working on it this weekend in addition to a bunch of other stuff.
