buy acura parts : Well, not exactly different sizes. They're the same size actually, but theback one has a black border surrounding the whole symbol. That's what madethe back one look kinda of bigger in a way. You'll know what I'm talkingabout once you take them both off. The best way to know if you have thefront & the back one is to look on the back of both of them and put the twobacks of the symbols together. If the prongs line up together then you gotfucked, if one of the symbol's prongs is wider than the other then you gotthe front & the back. The front one has wider prongs and the back onedoesn't. I saved both of the symbols, even though the front one is fuckedup. I didn't think the symbols were different either when I went down to thedealer. The guy said that they were and I thought he was just trying to makeme spend more by raising the price of the back one or front one. They wereboth the same price. $61.34 each, without proof of owning a Type R. Why theheck would they want to see proof, I thought the only proof dealer'sconsidered was $$$. Dumb. Don't you have more than one Acura dealer in yourcity? I never heard such a thing. That's the first thing I bought once Igot my '98 White Acura LS. Also, is your car white and what year? If not,then why the heck would you want the Type R symbols anyways? If you have ablue or black car, get the gray "A" symbol instead, that's the NSX one. Areyou going to get the spoiler too? That baby cost me $615.22 and $222.81 forthe dealer to paint the spoiler NH-538 and also to install it for me. Thedealer I go to treats me really nice and likes the idea of me making my carlook like a Type R. I went to another dealer and they thought I had the TypeR when they saw it. I guess because all the fucking parts are REALLYexpensive and all. To change the hubs from 4 to 5 will cost me about$1200.00!!! That's just for the hubs!!! Anyways, I don't think the dealerwants you to buy from AH, because their prices are way cheaper than anydealer. I only buy from AH when I just want regular Acura parts. I didn'tknow AH sells Type R parts. Do they sell any other parts besides thesymbols? I asked them about clear corner lights for the bumper and they saidthat they didn't sell them, so I said hummm, maybe they don't sell Type Rparts. Do you know where I can get the clear corner lights for the bumper? I need '98 ones.
buy acura parts : Thanks for the info. I forgot to call AH today, but will tomorrow...either way, the red"A"'s are in the mail right now. I'll see what they sent me. I don't plan any othertype R mods. I have a black GS-R and throught they would look cool. The gray logowouldnt look good on a black car..too dull in my opinion...the red will stand outnicely against the black. I already have the gen2 GSR badge in the back., and the "R"part is red and looks great...the type R "A" will offen a nice compliment to the redthat is already there. I plan to paint the calipers red. I think the gray logo wouldlook good on a green car, maybe blue or red.The Acura logo is NOT an "A" logo. Originally, the two vertical curvedlines (which don't connect at the top) represented the archs of a compassand didn't have a horizontal line connecting them. The NSX was the firstto sport this emblem. Prior to shipping the NSXs to the US in 1991,Soichiro Honda wanted to represent Honda in the emblem so the logo wasadded a thin horizontal line which appears in the middle. All the NSXsready for shipment had the older emblems removed and the newer ones puton. A Honda factory worker in Canada, who participtes in the NSX maillists, actually had one of the old emblems since he had to remove themfrom NSXs in Canada prior to delivery. The logo is actually an "H" andnot an "A."
buy acura parts : I am a first time Volvo driver with a 1995 850 Turbo wagon with some very serious problems with it. The dealer I obtained the vehicle from (Jenkins Imports in Milwaukee, Wi for those of you who asked) has told me never to set foot in their shop again and VCNA has been of no servicewhatsoever. The car was delivered to me with some major flaws including a radiator awash in power steering fluid, a defective headlight wiper, defective windshield washer front and rear, interior trim falling off and other problems. Since day one with this car, I have kept a log of faultevents with this car. This log is a listing of the event along with a quick description of the problem and some other info I thought may be important at the time. I have been posting some comments to people on my opinion of this car and have offered to publish this log if enough people wanted it. Via e-mail, the vote was 64 for and 12 against. Therefore, the log is publishedin its entirety below. Note that it does not include such things as the rear passenger interior door seal that is falling off, the dashboard that is pulling away from its support, the trim on the tailgate that is falling off and the loose glovebox. It also does not include the numerous rattles that occur all the time and, finally, multiple instances of some of the "minor" problems (radio, etc).
buy acura parts : I do not particularly care what you think about this log (other than for the amusement value of it!). If you are a Volvo fan, do not bother trying to send responses to this as I will ignore them. I will not get into an arguement on the quality of Volvo or their service. My experiences are justthat, mine. Since this is my first (and last) Volvo and we base our opinions on our experiences, my opinion of all Volvos and Volvo people is that they suck (as stated by a bumper sticker in the back of the car) and no amount of "My car is great!" stories is going to change my mind. Sorry.If, on the other hand, you detest Volvos and everything to do with them as much as I do, I have just registered the "volvosucks.com" domain name and plan on having it as a place for all disgruntled Volvo customers, like me, to air their stories. These I will take a look at. I would also like to hear if this list has convinced anyone not to buy a Volvo.BTW, if anyone from Volvo sees this, do not bother trying to contact me as I have already given you too many chances to make things right and you have not.
buy acura parts : Note that the log below is exactly what has been sent to VCNA. I have not received any comment from them other than the manager of cutomer service telling me "You certainly have had more problems with this car then we would expect to see from any Volvo." Tell me about it!Also note that the first statement refers to the delivery problems and the defect in the emission control system that developed soon after I took delivery of the car.Charles' log speaks for itself very well. I'm particulary botheredby the indifference of the Volvo dealership and Volvo Corporation ofAmerica. Giovanni, what you heard are the myths out there about the god VOLVUS.There are alot of people saying the same thing as you ust said: "Volvos are supposed to be..." it's alot of B.S.Volvo has successfully duped everyone into believing this crapthat Volvos are good cars. My Volvo wears out wheel bearings, brakepads, calipers, breaks motor mounts (both of 'em), leaks oil, etc.,like every other car out there. The only difference is I paida premium and so did the Charles Marks for his Volvo. It'sokay to sluff this off and say, "oh, you must have a lemon"provided you're not the unlucky one stuck with it.
