I'd be at my ford dealer trying to get that resprayed on the house. Paint should be able to hold up better then that judging by the spray on the rest of the affected area.

Thats the TL, The rim is even worse which ill have to take the barrel off and sand and polish till smooth again. Im more mad about the rim than the paint Id say the paint held up well considering. (it was probably the equivalent of driving down a gravel road for 50 miles at 60 plus miles an hour . Its a straight line from the front tire which is out about 2 inches from the fender at the bottom. Ill be addressing this issue this spring.

Im going to redo the front fenders and pull the bottoms out a little more, then maybe add something like a ZL1 or C7Z06 splash guard. Also looking into making the z06 lower CF rocker piece. I have some raw CF so it would be pretty easy to make.

Thanks! I'll strip the body and repaint one of these days. I may be doing an LS conversion first though.

May want to look where you are...

Here's a hint: Automotive Discussion-->Car Talk . Where we talk about all cars. If you want Acura specific conversation, check out the model specific sections.

I'm now part of the E85 army now. Probably the single best mod done to my 10. I have a dyno plot sheet but not on my computer. I'll have the tuner email me one. Then I can post. I'ts making 388/364. The power curve way smoother than the 91 tune, it is really nice. Just for comparison my friend has a 2011 cts-v with a catback, he pulls me about 3/4 car length to about 115 well then after that it's over. But he's making something like 556 hp. But still for what I got it pulls like a mother. Oh these pulls were on the freeway should've stated this earlier.

I still find it funny that nobody on car talk has an acura

Here's my Miata. It's a touch too low but one of the height adjusters on a shock is stuck so it's staying where it is for now

Looks good..

My son's friend had a 2013 EVO and traded it two months ago for one of the 2016 "Final Edition" EVO's. He already changed the exhaust, intake and had it tuned. It's a fun car to drive.

Thanks JT4. Oh he traded the 13 for the final Edition, cool. I don't think the final Edition has the Recaro seats.I don't really know. But the evo's are really fun to drive, the 10's 9's and 8's.
