CL with TL front end.

Carlo, check your power steering fluid just in case. Its quick and easy, but thats usually a whining noise.

I've had a good experience with Niello parts. I used to like Niello service, but now they're all pretentious douche bags that act like I'm driving some POS car and trying to get it serviced at Bently. I usually just get my service done at Mel Rapton Honda.

typical, better off taking it to an independent shop.

I go to a place in Elk Grove called expert automotive they only work on Honda and Acura's been around for a while

reasonable prices and honest that wont tell you what Niello told you they will help

Umm well it depends on what they quoted you from the go. Every place works different, if they are charging you to paint the whole car they better be painting the whole car so it matches.

the thing is that my color is still clean and what i want is just to paint the front. not the doors or the rear, just the front. but the guy said that he needs to paint the doors to match and "blend in" with the rear. so then i said why not just paint the whole car if he's gonna paint the doors. he said no need to. oh well...good thing i havent pay them for the paint job yet. i told them to call me first so i can see it b4 the paint job.
