Legend is staying parked until interior and paint work are complete. It's not registered or inspected yet either, so I can't drive it at all. Just got the title transferred last week. I have put less than 1 mile on the car since i've had it

Oh and it has a flat tire at the moment...3G TL rims with new tires getting mounted soon.

Well the paint looks brand new in the jams anyway. Saves a couple hundred bucks.

Sorry guys I haven't been on this thread in awhile. I had my 2010 Acura TSX and then sold it because it was a good financial move for me. Then I ended up buying another one, 2012 TSX SE direct through Honda (Wife works for Honda Financial so we get a nice discount) and I'm back in the game now. I'm up for a meet at 2pm or later this Sunday. Got a gun training class earlier that day.

Question guys,

I have some 6k fog lights and some 6K LED bulbs for the fogs (I don't want to do an HID kit for the fogs due to past issues) and I have a guy that is able to install them for me but his availability is not matching when I'm available. I really would like to do this myself but am really scared about taking off the bumper.

My question is....If I remove the side screws under the wheel well holding the bumper on, is it just as easy as pulling it off at that point? I saw one diagram on the forum but it only mentioned uncrewing the screws and nothing else. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

CJ

edit.....found it, nevermind.....

I fully intended too.. My family made the trip out here.. I guess I didn't get the memo that we were doing an early Bday get together for my mom.. I have to miss out this time. BUT, I will make it a point to make one of these meets.

Op we can maybe hang out one of these weekends too.

We need to get an official AZ DFW meetup going some time in the future.

Yea I ended up staying at the gun range for awhile today so I would have missed the meet. On a side note, I replaced my OEM halagen fog lights with LED bulbs. Even though they were supposed to be 6k, they actually are more like 8K. I had replaced my HID headlights with 6K bulbs. So now they don't match and I'm going to do what I should have done before.....get 8K HID bulbs for the headlights. I actually like the higher Kelvin better but was trying to try 6K for the first time to be sure.

Also, I was able to get to the HID bulbs doing like the manual said, through the front fender wells. Just thought i'd mention that to anyone who feels that you have to remove the bumper to do it.

Ethan,

Very sorry to hear about your mom. She is far more peaceful now than in hospice. Please let me know if we can send a donation to the ACS in memory of your mom.

No apologies what so ever warranted. Your priorities are right where they needed to be and we support you all the way. I know there is nothing that can be said that will ease your sorrow at this time. Whatever faith you have, I pray that you find comfort in knowing that your mother's pain has ended and she is now free of this physical world living a new life in the presence of God.

Regards,
Mark

With this group, the next real meet needs to be like a month away, since it looks like everyone rarely checks this thread.

I know there are a bunch here from dallas, a few from midcities, and at least one from ft worth. Would everyone be willing to drive to dallas, or would somewhere around irving/dfw airport/arlington be better?
