Chrome Tip

I am planning to get a chrome tip on my exhaust. I have heard that they are very inexpensive and provide a great look to your exhaust pipe. A couple of my friends have the tip on their car already and I like the look to it. Can anyone give me a price range for a tip on the large pipe for my car?
Thanks.

Dome Lights

I am planning to change the dome lights in my car to probably red to match my gauges. It is extremely inexpensive to do and shows a new great appearance. The dome lights are the lights attached to the roof of the car that provide minor light inside the car. By getting these replaced with red lights will make it look amazing. Let me know what you guys think.

Spacer

I recently just got my spacer painted. The appearance of it was pretty rusty. I got the calipers painted as well as the spacer for about 200 dollars. I was impressed by the way the job was performed. I would recommend anyone that gets their calipers painted to also get the spacers done because the rust on the hub does not look very nice. Please post any questions you may have pertaining to this.

Wing

What do you guys think of getting a wing on a black RSX Type S? I don't know for sure if I want to invest money into a wing since I already have a spoiler. I have heard that a wing does not look as nice as you would think it does. Does anyone have any suggestions about this accessory? Also, can anyone give me a decent price range for getting this part added to my car?

Car Show

I have been thinking about taking my car to one of those car shows to showcase my car. I have heard that it was a great place to get a recommendation on what to purchase for your specific car such as types of exhaust, intakes, and all other accessories. Many of my friends have told me that I not to go at least one time to get an idea of what I should purchase. I have heard that there are many people there that bring their cars as well. The whole point of going to this event is to find where the section is that has other people with the same car as you and discuss ideas and thoughts with them. Anyone have any other background information that I should know about this event? If so, please suggest any other ideas and thoughts about it.

Turn Signal

My friend is having a rough time fixing his turn signal blinker. Whenever he puts it on, it blinks extremely fast and seems to not be functioning correctly. I have told him it would be a good idea to take this to the shop because it is important for your turn signal to be working correctly. If it is not, it could be a hazard to other drivers and yourself if people do not know whether you are turning or not. It shouldn't cost a large amount of money;however, I am not sure about the exact amount. Can anyone clarify a good price range for this problem to be resolved in?

Felt Lining

So my friend has a car that is having the felt lining in the interior that is wearing down. The car is fairly old it is a 2003 car, but it is still a little early for the felt lining to be tearing down like that. I have told him to look into it to get it fixed. It shouldn't cost very much and probably can be done with a very small amount of labor. Can anyone suggest a place for him to get this problem fixed?

Brakes

I have a scenario in which my friend's brakes on his car are malfunctioning. It is not to the point where they don't work, but they are very weak. In my opinion, he will soon need to replace these to reduce the risk of danger in the future. From a personal perspective, people should really watch the parts of the car especially the brakes in order to be in the safest situation possible. People do not want to be driving with brakes that are not working correctly because that is just plain stupid. Therefore, I am going to warn my friend of the danger he could possibly have so that he can fix his brakes. Can anyone suggest a price range it will cost for a new set of brakes?

Windshield Wipers

Alright so I just have one quick question. How often should someone be replacing their windshield wipers because I have found out that on my friend's car his wipers are leaving streak marks and not clearing the water all the way. His car is in fairly good shape and not very old so I do not think it is a matter of not taking car of his car. Can anyone clarify for me if there is a specific time when one should replace their wipers, or it just when you can see they are wearing out? How much is this going to cost my friend to replace?

How 'bout them Gators?

Yeah, I am a Gator fan whether you know it or not. My brother and sister both go to University of Florida and I guess it kind of grew onto me to become a fan of the gators. What do you guys think about getting a gator license plate or a gator head sticker on your back windshield?

A Desire for all Teens

How many of you out there want a car of your own that you can drive whenever you want? How many of you want to be able to have a car that is actually yours and not your parents? I bet there are a ton of you out there because I know when I got mine it was one of the most exciting days of my life. What are your thoughts about being able to get this prized possession of your own? Discuss some suggestions about what is the best way to convince your parents to get you what you really want, a car.

Tire Pressure

My tire pressure light came on in my car and I'm not sure what from. My car is fairly new and I don't think the light should be on. I plan on taking it to car shop, but I hope it isn't going to cost me a ton of money. I'm wondering if my car should be under warranty for this? If not, can someone give me a price range on this? Should this be something to worry about?

Mirror Issue

I have a friend that is having some trouble with his mirrors and I am trying to help him get them fixed. The problem is that he cannot adjust them at all. Does anyone know the price range this will cost him? Also, where is the best place for this type of job to be performed?

Sound System

I have a question that I would like someone to clarify for me. The question is: Is a sound system really worth it? However, there is a couple things I would like to explain before you answer that question for me. I don't know if this is a rumor or not, but people have been saying that a sound system is really not worth it if you listen to rock and it only really enhances the sound if you listen to rap. Can anyone clarify if this is a rumor or not? If it is, what is the price range for a good sound system? Also the brand would also be very helpful.

Neons

I have been doing some research on finding a minor accessory to add to a car and I have landed on a conclusion. Purchasing a pair of neons for the inside of your car is a very interesting accessory that will not cost you more than 40 dollars. The neons will shine off a red, blue, or green glow under your seats inside the car, depending on what color you decide to purchase. These lights will add a cool glow effect to the inside of your car and will fascinate any passengers you decide to give a ride to. However, these neons are not really legal, so you have to be careful when driving through areas with cops. I still think they are a great accessory to add to your car if you are only willing to spend a small amount of money. They also have a great warranty and last forever.

Blow Off Valve

Does anyone have any thoughts about getting a blow off valve? I have heard that it will void my warranty and also a turbo is required. A turbo can get pretty pricey so I don't know if getting a blow off valve is going to happen anytime soon. I would really like to invest money into getting one because of the effects it brings to your car. I would recommend that any person who has a turbo or that is planning on purchasing one to also get a blow off valve as well. It will definitely be worth your money of a couple hundred dollars extra for the blow off valve. If you happen to get one, get back to me on how you like it performance-wise.

Blackout Tail Lights?

What do you guys think of blacking out the tail lights of an Acura RSX Type S.

Does anyone have any suggestions about this situation? If you have seen this done to an Acura RSX Type S. Let me know. Thanks

Window Tinting

Window tinting is a great way to bring out a better appearance for your car. I have noticed that tinting the windows of your car is very popular. I am interested in tinting mine so that it will look awesome. Can anyone suggest a place to get this done and suggest a price range for this task to be complete?

Airbag Sensor

I was driving and realized that my airbag sensor light appeared. I decided to take it into the shop to get it fixed and a couple weeks later it appeared on again. Therefore, I took it in again to get looked at. Believe it or not it came on a third time. So, I just took it in today to get it fixed again. I really hope its only a problem with the sensor light; therefore, it would be an easy problem to fix. Anyone have any thoughts about this?

Clutch

I have been wondering how often do you have to replace the clutch on your car? Does it merely depend on how well you take care of it? If it does I should be fine because it doesn't take a genius to know not to ride on the clutch. I am not having problems with mine, but if I do in the future does anyone know a good place to purchase one and what the price range is?

Is an Exhaust really Worth it?

That is a question that is really haunting me ever since I got my car. Is it really worth it to invest a couple hundred to maybe a thousand dollars in an exhaust system? To be honest, I am quite impressed with mine. It seems to have a nice sound even though it is a stock 2006 Acura RSX Type S exhaust. I was planning on just leaving the one that I have on. What do you guys think? Here is a link to the one that I was planning on looking at.

HIDs

So, I have heard from a couple friends of mine who have HIDs (High intensity discharge) lights that they were a great upgrade to a car. I have realized that the lights that my car has are mediocre and have thought about getting these HIDs. Anyone have any suggestions or thoughts about getting a pair of these lights?

Calibers?

I am planning on painting the caliburs of my RSX red to showcase a better look on my wheels. This minor change is a huge upgrade for appearance. Can anybody recommend a place where I can get this done and the average price that it may cost me?

Rims on an Acura RSX Type S?

So I have a 2006 Acura RSX Type S. Black on black. I was wondering if it would be worth it to put rims on my car or just keep the stock rims. The ones I have now are pretty nice for stock, but I am not quite sure whether I want to invest in a new set of rims and if it will be worth the money. If I was to invest in new rims, can anyone recommend a good brand for an RSX? I was also wondering if black or chrome rims would be a better look. Thanks.

New Intake?

In my opinion, my 2006 Acura RSX Type S needs a "tune up." I was thinking of something along the lines of getting an intake to increase performance. Through prior research, I have discovered the two possible types of intakes. The cold air intake and the short ram intake. The cold air intake has a higher power gain, but also runs the risk of washing water into the engine of the car which could possibly damage it. I think that I am going to probably go with the cold air intake anyways and just get a by pass valve to prevent the hydro lock.
