10yr old paint never taken care of, only mids in the front for sound, dents all over, leaking oil, trans doesnt just slip it CLUNKS and allows her to burn out if you step on it hard, water spots on the glass so bad it wont come off oh AND a fart can exhaust that actually sounds better than most riced civics...

one day we should take the gf's cars to SB and have the guys judge~ i dont think they'll (the gf's) appreciate it but it'd be hellafunny

Yup, they overnighted a wheel from the Cali warehouse, I got it faster than parts from my local lexus dealer.


FYI People, Revision Audio has a CALI Warehouse, so if you see some wheels that they have along with TrendyTodd, they can get it to you quicker!

It has been my experiance that if there is a way for a auto mechanic to screw up your car, he'll find it. Watch them closely. Do not assume they know what they're doing or give a damn about your car.
