ahhh, yes. I got them for a good price but had to give up the k1s for them. Glad I did it.

Ordered a new sticker Daily Driven - ordering a few more tonight to finish my new stickers for summer 2013. Always nice to change it up!

Tested my rear shocks by hand (since they're oem on short springs just waiting to wear out) and discovered two big rocks hanging out inside the rear left spring! They were causing some nasty noise and instability, since they kept jamming themselves between the coils! Oh the consequences of drifting on gravel.

What is that? I didn't know Acura had a wagon. Or maybe we just don't have them in Canada.

Yeah man, we don't have it here. At least not yet. TSX/Accord wagon. Looks really nice too.

Then that makes sense! It does look nice. Acura tends to look sharp. (Like that gorgeous NSX upcoming...)

Not a fan of the new Acura's. They are all designed in North America. That big grill is the part I dislike the most. Other than that, still looks okay.

To be honest, I don't like the grill either! It will soon we switched to the accord tourer grill with all the honda badges and everything on the car.

Got these in the mail today and seriously one was perfect and then the other one was like this....



It was obvious that someone had gotten into the box and removed the tape holding it together. They just put the tape back in the middle and that was all holding it closed up. Could Fed Ex not have taken some tape to close it if it was damaged like this during shipping. Also the place I got these from had not one sticker or information stating FRAGILE! It has automotive lamps on the box but a sticker or two would not have hurt. They look to be intact and no issues - installation next Thursday. Woot can't wait - been wanting these ever since I got the car about 6 years ago.

props on getting something you've been wanting but I hate TYC with a passion. Crappy product and horrible customer service.
