I was going to say fought it yourself, but then i saw the bit about job requiring a clean record. Get the lawyer. Good luck with it.

Thanks Eric, i did mostly because both of my bumpers needed body work and a respray and for same price i could probably get the wrap.
I got it from www.ikonwraps.com, but i have ordered samples from www.metrorestyling.com too, they both have the same prices dollar for dollar
id say pull the trigger for the black roof

Get a lawyer. In NC for speeding tickets they are very cheap. $50 most times. Also if you have not had a ticket in a long time you most likely can get your first one reduced to an improper equipment ticket. I have lots of experience with this as I would never be able to land a job requesting a clean driving record.

Aired Out TLS
Who is this wheel person ? I may need some wheel fixing.
So I'm on standby to see what time I'm going into work today, only 4 hours today. I'm trying to go the BBQ festival in uptown.

How was the bbq festival? I didn't know anything about it.
Drove the TL up to the blueridge parkway today and there were mad people and cars everywhere so it made the experience far from enjoyable. Today was the most ive sat in traffic in years.

Good deal. I need a beer after today's traffic mayhem.
We ate at a place called pedalin pig in Banner Elk. Big ass pile of bbq, mac and cheese, crinkle cut fries, slice of bread, and a sweet tea. The nomnom was strong.

The company is called Alloy Wheel Repair. I've been dealing with their work for the last 4 years. Since before I worked at Discount Tire.
The guys, Chris and Luke, Franchise the Charlotte area.
They will do almost Everything. The only thing, they have said, they will not do is rebuild Multi-Piece Wheels. If you give them the components separate, they will fix or refinish whatever was wrong. (Liability issue)
The work is flawless. I mean, I got a brand new wheel back.
I put this together with Microsoft Paint real quick.
On the left, you can make out curb rash around 1/2 the wheel.
On the right, its like the wheel just came out the box.
The price I paid was $135 for the wheel to be completely worked over. They had it for 2 days. They put it on a wet Lathe because it has the machine face. Also they took care of any paint chips, bends, clear coat, residue and anything else that they could find and brought me back a perfect wheel!
I'm quite pleased, especially considering this is the only set, in 5x114.3, in the world.

Wow they did a good job on that wheel.
Intermediate
Anyone want a hitch for a 07-08 TL. I have had it for like 2-3 years and never installed it, and probably never will because I am in the market for a truck. It was used ligthly by a previous owner, but still super clean. $40 picked up from me in the Birkdale Village/Cornelius area. Text me at 607-341-3571 if you want it.

They did a phenomenal job with your wheel, Stephen!
Intermediate
Thanks guys. I have always been pleased with their work.
Best part is, they come to you, mobile repair, or to pick up. Thats it. If you all need work done, this is the best local place to go.
On a side note, I need to get my center caps done. Then it will pull the whole car together. Thats my project for the night.

I'm over here in the 'tuneshop' on ebay having a delightful little jdm shopping time. (buying a set of rays valve stem caps and waiting on them to accept my offer for a pmu reservoir cover)

I'm rebuilding Coils on my Vape while listening to a playlist of remixed songs.
My new juice is like a really sweet Chocolate Cinnamon. Combine that with the Incense I am burning... It smells like Christmas is tomorrow...
I need to stop...

It's to my understanding the rhd js racing s2000 will be at tuner evolution which makes me veddy excite. I wonder if I can get Will to register and show his s2000.
Intermediate
I'm not gonna be able to make Tuner Evolution. I will be hosting an after party for Acura Owners at Taco Mac's in the University.
I'm trying to get as many hours as possible and also find a new job.
The holiday's and also this traffic ticket are gonna drain my account coming up. Better prepare.

Wow I just realized that yes indeed it is cars and coffee that day. Didn't even cross my mind. I haven't registered for tuner evolution yet so I don't know when the roll in time is for the show. But they might not even accept my car.

Acura Meet at University Taco Mac's
3 things will happen:
-Sleep will be minimal
-Alcohol in great amounts will be consumed
-Wallet is gonna hurt
Oh, Thursday, My car goes low, if all works out

Stephen... I'm sure you're excited to get those coils installed.
Intermediate
I am uber excited. Like this is more exciting to me than Christmas, my birthday, and finding out I am not the father. All wrapped up into one.
Just gotta figure out alignment.... Cant afford a $200 alignment.
Installation party at my house if anyone wants to come... BYOB.

Damn is that how much alignments are these days?!
I bought the lifetime alignment for the TL at firestone back in 2008 but I haven't been back ever since.

Dynamic Auto Tune is (from my knowledge) the only in-ground alignment rack around. And they are at $200ish for an alignment.
My car is going low. Atleast a 2" drop to start with. Maybe 2.5" if I feel like risking it.

I think most of the firestone locations have the ones where you drive straight onto it. And I think woodies has one too.
