Default Arghh!!!

Well I guess it had to happen sometime.

This morning when I went to put some stuff in my trunk, I noticed that my "H" had been stolen

I wouldn't be so pissed that my "H" was stolen, but the punk a****s scratched some paint off the car in the process.

I know that this is a completely minor thing, but I just don't understand the mentality of some people. Oh well... I did my venting (thanks for listening)

I'll most likely get those Rick's custom badges to cover up the scratches.

If I am not mistaken... Rick's badges are slightly bigger than the Honda emblem. Maybe that would be enough to cover the scratches???

Just a thought!!!

I did go to Rick's website and sure enough RWD_RCKT, the badge might be able to cover up the scratches.

My GF did buy me a replacement "H" immediately that same day. So I will be keeping the stock "H" on. I also called several dealers here in the south bay to see if they have the touch up paint for the Suzuka, but I guess that color won't be coming in until the end of this month

Kinda bums me out driving such a beautiful car, but with my "H" missing...

I feel for you... As I was driving on 880 passing through Dixon Landing, a rock hit my hood and bounce off my windshield. Later that day, I found the rock early chipped some paint on the side panel. I too was very upset. Now I have to wait for the touch up and fix that ugly hole. Anyone here has a better idea on how to repair rock chip?

Thanks,

sorry to hear what happened to your car. some jerk backed up the other day and scratched my front bumper also. hate dumb driver and interestingly many of those dumb ones i saw on the road were camry/corolla driver!

anyway, i'm having my spoiler painted either tomorrow or next monday. i'll see if the shop has any more suzuka paint to spare and will let everyone know.

btw, you're lucky to have a nice gf to get you the badge and even the same day!

Yeah, or you can hook up the badge to a 40,000 volt step-up transformer and electrocute anyone who tries to pry the badge again.

My condolences, abzug. I got a small ding on the rear panel recently. It seem no matter how careful you park, there are always inconsiderate people around. :-(

I am also looking for suzuka blue paint.
