And he was like, " Oh i didn't know women actually owned cars like this." Then I was pretty rude because I knew my turn signal wasn't on. Then he said, "What does your tint read.." and I said, "I don't know" (because I knew they were illegal) then he said that, "They they looked too dark so he did the test. And they came back illegal So then he seriously told me, "Either you peel it off now or you can come back and get your car when its peeled off." So I called my brother and his friend came and helped me take the tint off (AS I WAS LATE FOR MY SECOND JOB) and the cop waited there for this whole hour process. WTF! I was wondering if this cop was serious we were all cracking jokes about it. TWO WEEKS LATER HE pulls me over and asks for my number, and I gave him the wrong number hahaha. But then yesterday i get pulled over for a 45 in a 40 and he gives me a ticket and it says honda accord on the citation, its gonna be dismissed I already know. If you're ever in alexandria, ky watch out for officer wilkes. HAHAH So when people say girls get off easier BS!! And also, I have 5 tickets in the past two months on my record. 3 being from this one officer.

But that seriously sucks, I get picked on a lot where I live because theres usually nothing but diesels . But lose tail lights looks badass.

LOL. feels like a bad investment spending $17.5k back in 2002. Car is barely 8 yrs old and already feels like its almost dead. maybe i shouldve just got a used car at the time. as much as i try to keep it nice, something new always happens to it!

My Vis Racing Carbon Fiber hood looks like **** from the clear coat fading. I tried to fix my headlights with a wetsand headlight restoration kit and it just made them worst. My driver side door lock only works with the key and sometimes the key doesn't even want to turn. I need a window regulator for the driver side. At certain RPM's I hear this annoying rattle from under my car. Lastly I was parked on the street and someone must have backed into my bumper because the honda emblem on the grill was tucked under itself with scratches on the bumper. (Luckily I was able to just pry the emblem back into place but when I saw this my heart dropped to the floor).

You will have to take all your panels out and take your time with it to make it right but if the stock fabric is getting on your nerves it couldn't hurt. I personally don't like the look however allot of people are into it. Just preference I guess.
