So my car gets raped...ONCE AGAIN!. Same place at work but this time I wont be able to hide it (unlike my license plate incident) :bawling:
Someone carelessly backed up to my car, and since it was dark and raining...maybe the driver didn't see my black car. (or maybe he was blind)
Fortunately my head light and fogs wasnt damaged, but this is freaking ridiculous. I don't get it anymore...this car has been definitely bad luck to me.
My options are:
A) Get it fix (local body shop) ~$200
B) Buy a new bumper (oem style) ~500 w/ paint
C) Wait for a used bumper in the FS thread lol ~???
It doesn't look too bad right now since its dark and its pissing rain out side, but once the sun comes out the damage would be so visible.
Anyway im going to get a 2way alarm system tomorrow, so next time I would know if somebody does another hit and run on me! :shootme:
sorry to hear that.. People always just drive away and pretend it didn't happen. A similar thing happen to me at work when my car was about 2 months old. some backed into my driver side quarter panel. the only good thing was they missed my blinker lens etc
Thanks guys...I think im just going to repair the bumper. It would be much cheaper, and besides what if it happens again lol. Well if it does, hopefully my new 2way alarm does the job for me :uzi:
Acura of Boston lists a front bumper for $258.50. Does paint really cost $250? I'm thinking if you could get a guy to paint it for like $100, you'd be better off getting a whole new bumper.
i would get a quote from a body shop and see how that compares to a brand new bumper. for the hassle of the former, you may be better off doing the latter.
of course, if you just repair the original bumper, you probably won't be as pissed if someone hits you yet again.
What would be clear signs of a bad starter on the tsx? When I turn the key nothing happens but I can hear sparks in steering area. I turn key again, it struggles to turn over. I turn again, it struggles then go silent then starts struggling again while applying brake, then it starts. Happens...
I'm planning on buying a 2005 Acura TSX.
However, I've read that they take premium gas and not regular.
My question is, If I'm buying the car off someone and they've been putting in regular gas instead of premium since they bought the car, how big of a difference would it make on the engine...
So I’m back to looking for a first gen. Got to test drive a couple manuals the other day and yes, they are everything everyone says they are. Super fun to drive and way more power and responsiveness than the automatics. The problem is idk if I would like to be having to shift all the time. I...
2006 TSX with about 180k miles. Just had the clutch assembly and flywheel replaced at the dealership. Shop calls during the clutch replacement and says Check Emissions light came on. Tech pulled code which shows o2 sensor in bank 1, sensor 1 is bad.
The Check Emissions light was not on when I...
After 13+ years and 160,000 miles (most of them not by me), the carpeted floor mat on the driver's side of my 2007 TSX has literally worn through where the heel of the right foot would naturally fall for the accelerator. There is also a distinct divot a bit to the left as well where the heel of...
