Yea sadly you have to stick with the color of the Nav disc that you have in there originally. I think you have NavTraffic.. And I don't.

No, not yet. However, I just dropped the car off at the shop and many of them are going on next week. The Aspec kit is going on, the Sarona roof spoiler is getting customized/shaved, painted, and put on and then I am having part of my bumper redone. I need to have the bumper redone because I am taking off the front license plate frame. About a year ago someone bumped into my front plate creating an indentation around the frame, so I had to get it redone. Well...I don't HAVE to have it redone but I am because I am so anal!

LOL so you're afraid to do it yourself like I am
Do you take yours to the dealership? Or where do you take yours?

I need to get my RearCamber Kit put on sooner than later. May have to wait for the suspension until next year.

Thanks. My car is boring right now, stock. I decided I was going to buy the next well maintained clean titled 6-speed TSX or TL and ended up with a TSX. Posted this picture a few pages back when I put the OEM upgrade wheels on.

There has been a few subtle changes since the pic but nothing that would make the average person think it wasn't factory... which is what I am going for. Yet, I really need step it up. Subtle drop is next.

No, not afraid to do it myself...YES, JORGE I SAID "DO IT MYSELF!" . I just have absolutely no time to get it done. Just took a promotion at work and now working longer hours. By the time I get home the last thing that I want to do is work more.

I just took the car to a local shop that I have dealt with many times over the years. They are good guys and will take care of my baby.
