Default Hey hey

Well, I just recently bought my first Honda Accord(first Honda too).I'm away at college and needed a dependable car and something a little better on gas(my chevy truck was killing me at 12.5 mpg) I freakin love it, i've never really been into accords, kinda thought they were a "chick" car. Boy was I wrong, I bought a used 2004 EX V-6 2-door w/ 6-speed tranny, and I flippin' love it! Tt looks great, and it already had a AEM CAI, so it will fly! The clutch took some getting used to, but I think i finally got the hang of that.

Was just looking around the googlenet and found your forums, and I thought i'd sign up. Looked around already and can tell you guys know your stuff. I'm a noob to Honda's and I need all the help i can get.

Here's a pic of it. The bra came on it, and i dont really like it all that much as far as looks goes, but there's a pretty nice sized crack in the front bumper in the middle in front of the radiator, so i think ill keep it on until I can afford to replace the bumper.

You don't have to replace the bumper, they can fuse them together now and it looks flawless...

And it's like 50% of the labor costs. I've had this done twice to the same bumper, and both times it was hit in the same exact spot, but the crack was different.. so it wasn't some shoddy job where it'd reopen the older crack.

Welcome and nice car!!! After you get the bumper fixed, you should hang onto the bra for long drives, so it saves you from chips and bugs. ...... especially if you are an appearance nut like RTexasF ..... jk, I'm just as bad!

I'm into the meet and show scene, so once I get a few things fixed on the tC, I'm probably going to get one for travel purposes.
