    Share your best business card design tip?

    Use MOO.com (I use them for two businesses, photo and detailing, but I'm not affiliated with them in any way.) A few reasons why: Rounded corners. If I can't fit it in my wallet easily, it goes into my pocket and into the wash, or even worse, onto my desk. The rounded corner cards are...

    Glass Master Pro on Civic Windsheild?

    Re: Glass Master Pro on Civic Windshield? Thanks Mr. Phillips! It looked like metal in the ads. I'll give it a go. I should have been more specific about the year models. The latest generation Civics are the models with two separate instrument panels. The upper one is the problem child.

    Glass Master Pro on Civic Windsheild?

    Just wondering if anyone has used this tool on late model Honda Civics that have almost no clearance between the driver's upper instrument panel (hump) and the windshield. My concern is that the metal side of the tool might scuff the dashboard plastic. I suppose that I could wad up a large...

    2nd the notes here about not touching it. Looks like a new front cover, absorber, and 5-8 hours on that quarter plus blending the door and pulling the quarter glass. Probably $15-1800 in damage or so. Your insurance will prob want to do a recon or aftermarket front cover, so ask them about it...

    Honda Dirt Bike Plastic Polishing?

    If it's a CRF, the easy choice is just to replace it. The time/bill for correction makes fixing a $20 part a no-win. Most dirt guys will take the new plastics off when the bike comes home, swap them for ufo or acerbis, and store them for when the bike gets sold. Sorry for reviving this golden...

    My Mind = Blown

    Chase, I understand your issue quite well actually. My one post on this board belies the fact that up until a few weeks ago, I was a collision estimator at a Honda dealer with an attached collision shop. Now, I mentioned taking it to a dealership with a collision shop because taking it to...

    Make sure that you take it to a Honda dealer that has a collision shop. The service department will check it out and see if it passes for repaint, but the collision shop will take the necessary photos for the claim and help work with the Honda rep.
