ya same here... got my car back and noticed all this arabic all over the car. in and out.... they arabtized my car

back to the original thread....

after replying yesterday, i went out to look at my car... checkin my car inside out, took it for a long drive.

1) thank god i dont have to pain wearing out, i have some pain peeling off the plastic of the bumper which is normal because the pain is on plastic not metal

2) the gaps: i dont have any gaps in my head lights... so this car must be in an accident

3) for the 6th gear: i dont know what u mean by rubbing... i toke my car for a long drive and i didnt notice no rubbing

Man...

May be your eyes is not trained enough to see the gaps

I faced the same issue when i was looking for s2k, and i found it nearly in all the cars.

Also when we had the s2k club meets, i checked and it is nearly in all the cars that DID NOT have any accidents.

But for cars which had accidents or bumps, they were no gaps, as they fix it when doing the job

Anyway, we should meet and compare these issue.


BTW the picture of the car posted in the add clearly shows the rubber around the windshield is portruding. it is also common in all S2k.

Gear thing... well... donno what you were driving before "to the poster" but i feel honda got one of the perfect shifters "feel wise" but if it is grinding, there might be something wrong with the car.

anywho.... lets meet up and chat guys. before the bad weather. and before all you guys sell your cars.... i'll keep mine
