Have you considered V-LEDs?

http://www.vleds.com/bulb/9000-serie...45-1-pair.html

A few members are using those for DRLs including me and they are rated at 850 Lumens. More than 2x the lumen output of the "CarID PlaZma" ones.

You can get them in 5k pure white or 6k white w/ a hint of blue.

The downside is that they are backordered so you will have to wait, but once you install them you will love em.

There is also a groupon available for the cable park in pearland. A few of us who went to the Hewitt meet went to the park out there and it was fun. Knee boarding, wake boarding etc

I'll actually be showing, that's if I get accepted through the prescreening. Hopefully if Simon takes some legit ass shots it'll help me get in! So count me in regardless. My lady wants to experience wekfest for the first time, we'll be there!

Btw....Looking clean Scotty!!!

Btw Gee, the pictures you send in have to have at least wheels on it. That's how they base the prescreening. Also I'd hurry, spots are almost filled from what I've been hearing. If you do send in your request just put the crew as Acurazine Houston Crew. Good luck!

Hit & run
Someone hit my TL and ran, from the rear bumper. It wont really attach to the clips on one end. And its pretty scratched. Anyone selling a 2005 rear bumper? Or where I can get one and how much? I dont know how to navigate this site that well which is why I am asking. I am open to any answers. also if you have info text me please 281-797-1318.

^sounds like you dont have insurance....
too bad, I already sold my 2006 bumper.

brand new bumpers from acura are $250 and do not come painted.
add another $250 for paint.

best bet would be to find someone with a spare bumper that their willing to sell.
