Did a test fit of my oem lip rep from BaysonR. Almost got a pic of the fitment without tape or screws but the passenger side decided to let go

Oh ive been using a similar site to that since the beginning!

This is what i use
Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit

According to that the diameter difference should only be 7mm
In my case it was a tire thing. Looks like the nitto tire run crazy wide/big.

MORE plastidip experimenting...

this time with silver metallizer over matte black dip.

3 layers of black and 4 layers of metallizer.

Silver Metallizer on top of Matte Black yields a hyper black/dark gun metal.

for reference: left wheel is metallizer on graphite gray dip vs right wheel is metallizer on matte black dip

^ the wheels look a bit green.. did you mean to do that? they look good on matte. I have yet to fix my wheels and get some colour to it.

Acura604 01-31-2016 01:48 PM

What did you do to your vehicle today?
 
^^ not green at all. just hard to capture the actual color with phone camera.

Most recently, ran the fumoto for 3 years on the mazda3 with no issues, for 2 years and running on the TT, again, no issues.

hud 91gt 02-05-2016 07:36 AM

That's yours? Cool car. Is that tunnel stock? Looks like it should house a turbine engine. Ha

Yes that's my new car. 1949 Ford Business Coupe. Flathead V8 with an aggressive channel. Stock suspension but the body is dropped 5" on the frame. C-notch in the back and a fat tunnel for the drive shaft. Stock these things had completely flat floors.

Day 2...fixed my parking sensor, installed some grille mesh over center grille and side coolers, and test fit front summers. All done now...nice and productive, albeit moderately tipsy 2 days in my garage.

I'm a bit of a DIY'er but decided to get a 'dealer oil change' simply to address some warranty related items at the same time.

Very impressed by Richmond Acura... they did a great job addressing 2 warranty items AND proactively replaced my battery (under warranty) because it failed the load test... I had no clue my battery was not performing. I'm pretty sure they know I'll be trading in this RDX for another ACURA in 3yrs.

and the big bonus was that I got to boot around in the V6 TLX as a loaner...

dat pushbutton gear box tho...
