Wish I knew how to change the timing belt, drive belt, water pump and check/adjust valves myself.

Spark plugs I did a long time ago on a older car, not sure on the 3G TL since they're the ones I had came with the car when it was brand new (I think)

had a service A14 performed plus water pump and drive belt replaced. Costed me my left nut. $2K


dont got any tools either.

But....but...the most outstanding AZ member created the most outstanding DIY for that. Why wouldn't you do it yourself?

^prob doesn't have the time to do all that...

So I went to my local tint/vinyl graphics shop. Wanted a quote for paint protection film. He tells me we refer our customers to premiumshield.com and to pick out my package on there. We go on the website, only RL and TSX are available for 2006. No TL option for Acura at all. WEIRD!

Then I started telling him about that I dont just want the generic TL bumper protection, I want my A-Spec lip protected too and he just kind of rolled his eyes. What gives here? Im pretty pissed off as I want to get this done ASAP so I can drive the damn thing without getting my paint fucked up everyday

sounds like he doesnt want to do labor in a labor intensive job....giving you packages instead of having to apply over custom bumpers and edges
screw him. try another shop

Your passive aggressive comments towards the certain pink poodle and your sarcastic remarks are getting old. You chastised us for 'worshipping' him even though he's a dick yet your remarks aren't any better. Pot meet kettle.

I caught a lot of flak for paying a dealer to do my 105k. Thus my comments were two sided. One being self-deprecating.

So you're close but not really. Keep reaching you'll get there one day.

Edit: Also that's my second comment about such to date... I lost count of how many blowjobs have been given tho!
