Well, after my spectacle with my Integra being smashed by vandals:

I mentioned I wasn't mad since I was covered by insurance (no deduc) and I made it home alright, but yes...I spoke too soon.


I scheduled the appointment for today. They gave me a window of 9am - 12pm. The installer showed up at 12:15 pm, so my morning was already shot.

He began taking my taping and bagging off the remains of the window, then comes up and knocks on the door. I went down with him and he told me "You didn't tell me it was a GS-R". Well, my insurance set it all up and thats how the vehicle is listed on my insurance card. Anyways, he told me how the GS-R is the only 3rd generation Integra without a 3rd brake light in the rear glass. The LS, RS, GS, SE, and Type R all have the brake lights in the glass (mine came with an OEM lit spoiler). Therefore, the glass company doesn't even MAKE IT! He tells me to call Acura and they tell me they can have the GSR glass tomorrow, but they don't deal with insurance. I call the installer's boss and he tells me if I want it done that way, he'd have to wait 5-7 business days for a check from corporate headquarters or I could pay out of my pocket and wait for re-imbursement. So, F-that.

I more or less settled with the piece he had. It was flawless, just has 2 holes for a 3rd brake light. So either, I will get a 3rd brake light and have it sit unhooked up since it's not wired for it, or I will plug the holes like I did with the wiper.

So all in all, my day is pretty much shot and the car isn't as it was before. So once again, Fluck all you vandals out there :angry

If your car is a 96, which I think I remember reading somewhere (Nick thought so too)That's a load of crap. He isnt lying about the brake light thing though. There is a seperate part number listed for a GSR with wiper. I made some calls and PPG does make it. It is a VERY expensive piece of glass, it is a FREAKISH net priced part. PM me or hit me up on AOL and we'll talk a little more about this. Screen name is Breadfan63. I usually pop on there atleast every other day when I am checking my email.
 
You got it Wade.


He said there is a part number, but no price and he called and the company doesn't make it anymore.
 
dang what a bad luck. That's strike 2.....Hmmm, repaint to Forest Green :)
It's Saint Patty Day coming up, maybe it can bring you some luck j/k.
