Great to have you in here. Maybe you can stick around or come back for refresh or limited edition ITS models provided you’ll buy somewhere else that has better customer service
The sides with the pinchwelds should be used with jack stands. Those are the four "support" points. For using a floor jack, you should only use the two dedicated lifting locations in the center and in the rear.
The transmission is amazing but you'll have to learn how the car wants to shift instead of shifting it the way you're used to shifting. From what you described you're trying to achieve maximum acceleration. You'd be running the gears up to/near redline then jamming into the next gear and accept...
Well for starters, can’t even get replacement bumpers right now and repainting new or existing ones is very tricky. They’ll be sanding down the cuts to the base paint then re-apply clear coat.
Hopefully it will be well done. I can only sit and wait at this point
Brought the car to courtesy Acura, they’ve acknowledged the damage and installer admitted to having a heavy hand.
They’ve taken the ITS to immediately begin repairs for all cuts marked by the black tape and are giving me the blue A-spec loaner all at no cost to the customer. Will update once...
Thank you for suggestion, I will definitely consider .
I ceramic coated all wheels and they greatly help with rinsing brake dust right off. Looks like getting Therese ceramic pads will be icing on the cake!
hey don’t feel bad, I’m pretty sure we’ve all fallen victim to buying snakeskin oil at some point lol.
majority of ceramic coating are marketed with overpromises and little delivery with tons of fine print caveats. Which is why the best stuff lasts at most a little over two years. Unless you...
price could be the midrange towards the high side. But it isn’t outrageous. Part of it is subjective. Most of the cost is in the labor and not the products.
do you prefer not to decon, de-iron, claybar and paint correct yourself? Then yes it’s worth it.
do you prefer not or do not have...
agree with DIY ceramic coating. Although most of the best products lasts just a little over 2 years. Beyond that will require the ceramic coating that needs multiple layers, two weeks curing process and technique in application; some of which are only sold to qualified vendors
yup, worried about the repairs if dealer chooses lowest bidder again.
I’m not sure what else I could have done to discover the damage aside from peeling the clear bra in front of them and revealing the damaged cut paint. Because I’m that scenario I’d reject delivery and then I’d be liable for...
I have not read much on XPEL Fusion Plus. Going by your picture, an impeccable job was done. Very smooth, no high spot streaks and no visible dust or contamination stuck into the coating.
The ceramic seems to have deepened the black color too, amazing. When i coated the oem wheels, day 4...
Huge sinking feeling when I saw this. Autofilm solutions said the cuts are so deep you can run your fingers across the cuts and feel it. On one corner of the integra stamp, you can see the clear coat begin to crack.
The installer must have an extremely heavy hand to apply that much pressure.
Trust me, I was quite livid when the detail shop sent me the photos/videos. Had I not considered full PPF, I likely wouldn't have known. How many others from this dealership have clear bras? They will either never find out or will be finding out much later when warranty is expired.
looks stunning. How many layers? Remember to allow the ceramic to cure for 7 days with no washing or water contamination. Really want to avoid water spots while the car is curing
I remember seeing this post. Have you had any issues with lifting over the stamped INTEGRA letters? Looks like you're wrestling with the same issues as me if you've found razor blade cuts. If the cuts are deep, buffing will only do so much. You risk moisture getting in, the broken clearcoat will...
