I'll get to use the N7 after all.
There's also a small ding on the resonator and since the exhaust part comes all in 1 piece from Acura brand new only and is worth 900$, if they changed it because it's a small cosmetic issue that does not affect function it would give more value to my car, so they would need me to spend for a "revaluation" fee of around $257+tx. If I keep the ding they send me a $150 cheque which pays for half of my $250 deductible anyway.

Had a longer talk with the insurance lady, not the insurance estimator and she says the damage would need to be 80% of the value for the car to be totaled, not nearly 100% like the estimator said. Nevertheless, not even close.

Any real pics of the damage? Or an engrish version of what happened? (maybe you said already but I missed it)

It's hard for me to judge without seeing accident pics, but if damage is pegged at $3500, that's not all that bad of a crash. I mean, a used OEM bumper and plastic welding my front lip, along with paint and whatever else, came to about $1800 when my TL got hit and run last year.
Personally, I'd just likely keep the car and drive it until it actually dies. It's already paid for. What do you have to lose?

and i don't mean to undervalue PBs car... I really don't remember what condition it was in, or the mileage, or anything else for that matter. What I have noticed as of late though, is the price of 3G TLs seems to be dropping around here. Mine's in pretty nice shape through and through and I don't think I could get more than 10.5k for it.

I'm also confused about that OEM resonator that got dented... why wouldn't they get another one from an auto wrecker? Cut old one out, weld new one in. Done.

KBB pegged my car at 10.5K too..

I don't really hold KBB with much regard. I mean, it's nice and all, but it's not very indicative of "desirability". I highly doubt KBB would show a 2005 NSX being worth 75-100k these days.
The TL-S is the same. Granted, not as rare or desirable, but still desirable nonetheless. You know damn well you could likely get another 5k on top of that.

RDX Elite (Canadian model) is probably a no-go. Didn't bunneh say he was moving in with his lady?
He'd be pulling too much 9+/10 trim if he got a RDX Elite (Canadian model) and even with a dime in the sack, there would inevitability be some jealousy.
Don't do it bunneh, just don't do it.

So did you just stuff all the shit for the one neighborhood into a single slot on the other box?
Because that's what my postal critter seems to do.
I get (most of) my shit, all three neighbors shit,shit for the gal on another street with the same house number, and from time to time, random ass mail for houses up to 10 miles away. And I live in suburbia, not on a farm where that's the nearest bumpkin to me.

A while back on here a 'member/vendor' was selling emblems that had LED backlighting. So the Acura logo would light up.

Hmm. Interesting.
I had something similar for my old Tacoma with an EL lamp for the front emblem. Never hooked it up though.
I also have a large Suzuki "S" for my bike. Also never hooked it up.
I guess I'm closet .
