Thankfully all the scrapes on mine were on the thin flat edge at the outside of the rim (the edge is 1/8-3/16 inches wide so repair and touch up should be easy, as I mentioned just my "Sharpie fix" hides it enough that friends have had a hard time seeing it. Even I'm getting used to it:-)).

My "damage" is just superficial - several of my friends said they wouldn't worry about it since they could hardly see it with only my temp fix/hiding using a Sharpie to cover the shiny aluminum:-). Agree on how little it took to ding the wheels, I wouldn't have notice "touching" the curb except...

Thanks - I was leaning towards pick up a new wheel (looks like around $400-450 online), Discount tire said they'd do the change out no charge (bought my tires there). However, given the input on a professional repair (around $150) and how well it turns out I'll look into that first. Pain for...

Just found the one post about "Wheels on Site" that will repair for $150 - hopefully we have one servicing the panhandle of FL (probably not).

I gave one of my wheel some road rash this weekend misjudging how narrow a city street was and turned a little to wide. I wouldn't have even realized how close I was to the curb if it wasn't for the sickening metal scrapping sound. I knew low profile wheels/tires have little rubber sticking...

Having been stationed on the SE US coast from DC south there’s no relief especially in the summer. I have a WeatherTech front windshield sunshade and I definitely know when I forget to put it in the window, and the shift knob really gets warm if it receives direct sunlight. Oh, I’ll put a...

You might be surprised, mine will get warm but not that uncomfortable and cools off quickly - then again I live in northern FL so our temps might be cooler:-).

Looks outstanding - love the boot too.

I got the Titanium spherical shape. On the A-Spec engraving - (BLUF: anything you don't see on their website click on "contact" at the bottom of their webpage and ask). In my case I contacted Billetworkz saying I liked the engraving showing the six speed engraving with Type S underneath on...

Thanks, sounds like a job when our temps get a touch cooler (in the 70s for a high, even though we are now down in the mid 80s or so). I have plenty of tools from wrenches, sockets, breaker bar (and impact wrench if needed). I also have knuckles that are used to getting skinned from breaking...

Sounds like the challenge was the AWE pipe sitting lower - if you had (or my case I do) OEM front pipe, is the installation pretty straightforward just having the vehicle up on jack stands? Or is this one of those projects finding a lift will keep your sanity?

Installation was a piece of cake, although it took so little time I didn't have much to do the rest of the day (kind of knew it wouldn't take much time since it was only a 5-10 minute job on the Honda S2000 I had). Yes Yes, at first for some reason I thought they were out of CA - don't ask me...

OEM Titanium is a great upgrade to - I had the spherical shape on my Honda S2000 and liked the feel and look so decided to stick with it on the Acura.

Looking fantastic - one addition/suggestion, if you haven't already, is change out the shift knob. I just changed mine out to a Titanium (spherical but they come in different shapes) with some custom engraving. I bought mine through Billetworkz.com - unbelievable customer service (were even...

Not sure if there's a better place to post but didn't see a "what did you do to your A-Spec" thread like the Type-S folks have. Replaced my 6-speed shift knob today with a Titanium with engraving one from Billetworkz. First, Billetworkz is one of the most customer oriented companies I've...

I have the P-Zero AS+3's on my wife's CRV and have been very impressed with them, of course we don't get much winter weather down here in the FL Panhandle. However, we did manage to get a surprise snowfall of 8 plus inches this past winter, being from upstate NY I wasn't thrilled since I...

Thanks, Folks at Tire Rack and Discount Tire are both big on the DWS 06+ And Pirelli's. Both said DWS had a little bit of a handling edge where as the Pirelli's were slightly quieter. DWS06+ were $10 less per tire than the Pirelli's so leaning that way.

Sorry to hear about the accident - I just went over a 1000 miles and one of my milestones is please no one hit me/put a door ding in until I least have it for several months and 4 digit mileage.

Searched through Tires and Wheels and found some references to tire upgrades but not a lot. Looking for anyone that changed out their OEM Conti's - recommendations/review/how noticeable on what they got. Below is my post from tires and wheels for more detail: Just purchased a A-Spec 6 speed...

Tires look great - Just purchased a A-Spec 6 speed manual and I am in the throws on whether or not to swap out the OEMs (I've never been impressed with OEM tires manufactures use). The Conti's aren't bad and better than most so trying to justify dropping $650 plus on the swap (Discount Tire...
