1997 Acura Integra- Overall paint job and Bodywork

 This customer brought in their 1997 Acura Integra to have bodywork done and to change the color of the car to something more lively! The shop corrected minor dings and dents on the front left fender, the left and right door and the left and right quarter panel. While we were working the customer requested to replace the bumper for an aftermarket version from 1998. The customer picked the color "Phoenix Yellow" made by Acura in 2-Stage Base Coat/Clear Coat paint.

Wreck of the day; 2008 Acura TL Total Loss!

Todays wreck of the day was unfortunately deemed a "Total Loss" by our customers insurance. When vehicles are damaged to the point that the repair costs are more than the car is worth the insurance will determine if it is a total loss or not. Thankfully our customer was okay but their 2008 Acura TL is not. This vehicle qualifies for our "Almost" list here at Almost Everything Autobody!

 

2005 Acura TSX Repaint

This Acura would be a handsome and sporty commuter if it wasn't for the paint. The vehicle owner had us respray the entire car. He decided not to fix some minor dings & dents (his objective was to make the car look presentable while keeping costs to a minimum. He chose our least expensive Enamel paint.

Our customer gets all the credit for the conversion to Japan Domestic Model (JDM) bodywork on this Integra. But we were happy to recondition delaminating (peeling) paint and refinish the car with a nice, single-stage paint.

Acura Complete Car Paint Job

This do-it-yourselfer repaired their car at home and asked us to refinish it with a durable, single-stage urethane paint. Reconditioning old, bad paint is hard work. You need to have good tools and know what you are doing for things to turn out well. This customer saved a lot of money and ended up with a great looking car.

Acura NSX--The New Benchmark

We got to drive the new Acura NSX this weekend. The 1990 NSX redefined what a supercar could be. The 2017 NSX does it again--the new benchmark. It accelerates like a racing bike, sips fuel like an Accord, eats any piece of pavement with great style, comfort and ease.

We got an extended test drive in the mountain roads near Laguna Seca Raceway during the Pirelli World Challenge as the Acura NSX continued its awesome rookie year in GT3 against Aston Martin, Audi R8s, BMW, Cadillac , Corvette, Dodge Viper, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, McLaren, Mercedes Benz, Nissan GT-R and Porsche.

Art St. Cyr, President of Honda Performance Development, and John Watts, Sr. Manager for NSX Performance Team, chatted with us over lunch about the car and successes they've had so far (most laps led of any manufacturer, 5th place finish in its very first race and ranked well in virtually every race.)

Is there a flaw with the NSX? Maybe it is too good. . . it makes even me look like a brilliant and ridiculously fast driver. I want this car!
