I will ask, although I thought replacement bumpers, panels are bare that would need to be painted? However, if they can procure newly painted components from the factory that would be ideal.

If i pursued the dealer buy-back route, I could be stuck with being out of a car for some time. Procuring another Type-S could be an extensive wait with no guarantees of buying it again at MSRP. The other hand, having mismatched paint panels would be a nightmare, with no guarantee paint and...

I prefer not. Massive headaches to go this route, when it could easily be remedied. The damages are pre-existing conditions on their side. It's likely the dealership wasn't aware that their chosen clear-bra guy was damaging new vehicles. Thus far, Courtesy Acura has been great to work with; but...

Completely agree with your recommendations. The clear bra PPF wasn't something I asked for. This was installed by the dealer's 3rd party guy. It had to be on their showroom for 30 days before I was informed I am next up to purchase it. Luckily they did not drill the license plates onto the...

Background: Purchased the Integra Type S back in July and Courtesy Acura had partial clear-bra PPF installed on their showroom model. The dealer uses a 3rd party clear-bra installer: All seemed okay, the clear-bra doesn't wrap around the edges and type of film used makes the white paint...

Don’t know. When it looks so good it’s still hot

Yes you have a legal contract with your dealer and Acura canada for paint defects. The ball is in your court. Laying it out in layman’s terms, your dealer and its technician are dragging their feet to buy time. When they state, “The door will be left alone in the interest of corrosion...

Bubble burst could be the case and valid point. Although if it’s a solvent bursting they typically appear in clusters. The issue at hand is that the car warranty typically guarantees your vehicle against manufacturing and installation defects. Car insurances on the other hand covers you against...

Yeah sorry if it seems over blown but most problems don’t seem like a big deal but it’s about addressing it right at the start. Nip it at the bud. Obviously you can see I learned the hard way. There was a hail storm and I spotted a very tiny chip so small I thought nothing if it and added...

If not repainted get it professionally repaired. When metal is exposed it can start of small but worsen over time as corrosion and rust sets in. That touch up paint isn’t paint primer and clear coat. Here’s what happened to my TL that was at first a tiny chip before rust did it’s thing and...

To illustrate a point and to help you out. Dealer made money off stock accessories when you bought the car through them from Acura. Dealer made money selling you upgraded accessories. Now dealer will triple dip taking back your shift knob you foot the bill for and profit off of it a THIRD time...

That clearly looks like touch up paint and human error that knocked a chunk out. Paint defects are usually misapplication of the paint and curing process. You would see clear coat defects, hologram discoloring, blister bubbles etc. This looks more like physically inflicted damage and cover up...

Not saying this is the case by why does the door look like it was dinged or had a chip off and touch up paint filled in the middle/crater? Can you look closely to see if it’s the same paint with gold flakes or was it touched up? Hard to see from pictures

It certainly does look great. Very excited to see if you notice any difference in body roll, considering you’ve had these before so you would be able to gauge the difference.

Wait what? The stock accessories weren’t given to me until I drove back and asked for them. You already paid for that shift knob in the entire MSRP price including all components from Acura factory. Buying the titanium shift knob is in addition reflected in what you had to pay for it. If it’s...

How does it handle and feel? Noticeable difference powering through curves?

Please take some installation photos of the rigid collars, this is the mod I’m very much looking forward to thanks!

Is the overland alcantara the exact shade of black/gray as oem steering wheel, shift boot and seats? ITS has the 9040 suede color and sometimes aftermarket has 9002 and 9052 lighter black shades.

I thought the selector switch bring on the “R” right position was only for the A-spec? I tried last month doe the ITS and it didn’t seem to work
