    My BMW had Contis on it. So does my moms car. They are good tires. I will certainly consider them when time comes. I took the Shelby down the Dragon. That was when my tires went from new to used.

    They are coming with a set of OEM tires which are Goodyear Eagle RS-A. I would be happy to hear your suggestion though. I will have to replace them eventually.

    The BMW is a sweet car. I looked at them. Not as plush as the Acura. More sporty though. To get trimmed like I would want took me to about 8K more than the Acura. I will be using the car for higher mileage and wanted a little more plush, yet, still sporty since I will be spending about 2...

    That's a good question. I am a Ford guy. Always have been. In fact, this is the first foreign car I have ever bought new and only the second I have owned. I had a used BMW 528i several years ago. When I selected my criteria it included AWD and manual transmission. The Ford did not offer...

    I will be sure to post pics when I get the wheels on it. He said 3-5 weeks. It has been 1 so far. If you go to acura.com and look at the TL photos, most of the cars in the photos have the wheels in factory silver. 2013 Acura TL | Photos, Videos, Exterior, Interior, Colors, 360s | Acura.com

    Update from dealer. This is what they look like. They are the ones that come stock on the TL SH-AWD with the "Advanced Package". I did not want the advanced package as the 6spd manual was not available in that package. They are not the remanufactured ones in this link. They are brand new...

    Thanks again. I will order some on the Father's Day sale this weekend. Sorry, but, another question. I tried searching, but, couldnt find an answer. Can you use part of the OC, recap it and use the rest later? Or does opening it mean you have to use it right away? If I have to I can just...

    Which griots garage products would you buy??

    Too late to edit this. When I went back and reread I dont like the way I said "it applies to the sales autogeek..." I dont mean the code applies to AG. I meant that Autogeeks own sales are usually good for the griots products they carry. Sorry If I mislead anyone.

    Which griots garage products would you buy??

    Yes that is for the griots website. Sign up for their email and you will get the sale notices. Also keep in mind autogeek sells some of the griots stuff and it applies to the sales autogeek has as well. I am sure they will have a detailfest sale this weekend. I am not a huge fan of the 3 in...

    Which griots garage products would you buy??

    As Gunslinger said, try just about anything. I have been a customer of theirs for a long time. at least 15 years. They sell good products and have superb customer service. Most of their products are also available on this site. I dont like their polishes nearly as well as Megs or Menz. The...

    Question regarding d/a polishers- be gentle!

    Yeah, I don't think I will be swinging by to help. I love the Terminators (03-04 Cobras). I was looking at one and the salesman mentioned the total re-design of the Mustang. I decided to wait for it thinking it would take 2 years to bring out the "Cobra". Well it took 3 and the first year...

    Question regarding d/a polishers- be gentle!

    The dark blue will be good to learn on. You will be able to see your progress and results. I think you will be amazed at how well you can correct the haze. I would use the 3 inch on small areas such as mirrors. I use 3 in pads on my PC7424 and 5 inch on my GG6. I have a GG3, but, it is...

    Clay pad for DA's?

    I tried the Griots Garage version. It was useless. The clay wanted to drag on the paint. I find claying very easy to perform by hand. Dont need (or gain) from machine use. I would imagine it would be easy to damage the paint with it as well.
