Well my car got scratched pretty bad. Anyone know of a reputable place to get it painted?

My dad leaned some big pieces of wood against the wall in my garage. The dog bumped into them and they came crashing down on the s2000. I'm not too happy. It looked a lot worse right after it happened, but they still stand out.

Well , I took out the headlight baked it, resealed it and no condensation. Man that's a pain in the a$$ ! And two hour later , no rain or anything the damn condensation is back!
This is so frustrating! I left the headlight open for two hours and it was fine, I put everything back and now condensation again ! There must have been some residual moisture somewhere, but where? Is god testing my patience? I'm sorry big buddy I'll try my best to be nicer from now on. Well I have the bulb out to vent for now but I am about to snap!

Wow that sucks. At least you are confident that the seal is good? Are you leaning towards thinking is coming from a socket?
Yes it's double sealed like a mother phucker! I spackled that RTV on real good. Theres obviously still some moisture in the light, but where is the question? There wasn't water rolling around anywhere, just slight condensation on the inside of the front lens and it's not new moisture because it's hot and sunny and no new rain. The insurance won't cover cleared headlights I'm lucky they covered the engine(100 miles to go before VTEC again ) I've been driving about 100 miles per day becuse I hate shifting at 5 grand. I wanna break in the engine and clutch right because the first time around I VTEC ED off the lot of the Honda dealer.

Do you know what happened with Steven? Did the car get there safely? I hope all goes well with the repairs.

Yes, his car is at American collision on 66th St. by Scott's house, but they and everywhere else is closed until Tuesday. We took pictures of the car today and of the accident spot. I think he's waiting to make an official post about his accident.

Well I tried to VTEC yesterday but it won't switch cam lobes and it's making funny noises W/ no power above 6000 rpm's so my car is back at the dealer wating for them to open tomorrow. I was so looking forward to VTEC and I feel very let down. I hope they can fix it soon.
