Just ordered the new front bumper and upper bumper corners from honda. I cannot say ebnough good things about Saratoga Honda on Rt.9. $258- for a brand new bumper after tax. Told me he couldn't meet Majestics price but he was only $7- more + the tax and worth every penny. Saved the money alone in what shipping would have been. I called every dealer around and they all told me 350 for a front bumper, and wouldn't price match anyone. The kid who worked at acura, best price he could get was 330-.
Saratoga Honda FTW, ask for Ralph if you need parts
Oh, btw the best part...I'll have it tomorrow

Just bought a nrg sport wheel and quick release. Time to pull out the airbags. It'll be my project for tomorrow while the fenders are getting worked on.

Jsen, I've enjoyed your story and pics. Glad to see an original (2000) being restored to driving condition. I believe this was the car who's former owner felt "let him down" because he drove it off the road?
I agree with others on A/C - can't imagine any months but March and November w/o it
It's even hotter in a vert - no roof to provide shade.
Our first Albany area meet is 3/27th - hope to see you there! (88 days and counting!)

They way it is coming i wouldn't be surprised one bit if it was all done by the dino meet. However, i won't be taking the car out untill all the salt is off the roads, it's been a southern car and garaged winters and i want to keep it that way
