    Alarm newb needs assurance on parts

    Hey everyone. I'm getting my Acura back from a repaint here next week or so, and I want to do an alarm install before I find it stolen, because Lord knows it'll be a target. So far I've looked at the following setup: Either the Clifford Matrix 12.5x or the Viper 3002 Both are DEI products...

    Aaargh winter weather woes

    My pride and joy was scraped a week or so ago when Ohio had that huge blizzard, nothing terrible but it's a downer regardless. I was wondering if there was some tricks of the trade I could apply to get the scrapes off, or at least less noticeable. I haven't touched them with anything as I...

    Not bad -- Silver S2000

    Hey all, finally a nice day here in Ohio, and I had to snap a few photos. I bought a kit at Wal-Mart that came in a cooler package for $20, to get me started this year on some supplies. This wasn't the exact model as mine came with a gel wash and cleaner wax, and it came with a small...

    New car for me!

    Hey all. My Integra is under the knife right now, getting repaired eventually. I was aspiring to get a MKIV Supra this year, but I think that will just have to remain a dream. In its stead, I bought this honey: The images aren't great, and it's still very much winter here, so...

    RIP my poor car

    Emblem adhesive leftover

    During a car wash at home, I managed to loosen the "Acura" emblem on the back of my car, so I took it off. What is left is a hard, sometimes tacky substance that does NOT want to come off (I'm shying away from using a boxcutter :D ), what would be paint-safe and strong enough to remove this...

    Car guilt

    I am guilty for neglecting my car. :sosad I've been in love with MarkIV Toyota Supras my entire life, and it's pretty much all I can think about when people ask me what my favorite car is, or what car I want the most, or anything that pertains to "new" and "car". I think I've hurt my Integra's...

    Washing a car with sponser stickers

    I did a quick search which yielded little pertaining to my question, but nevertheless, how should one wash their car that has sponser stickers on the body? They are regular adhesive, I am sure if I took them off they would just have some goo left over like badges, but it's not as strong. I...
