Sheesh. That was awesome guys, the attention to detail was stellar. Even the parts of the work that was sort of glossed over like all the under painting, cleaning of the interior, and all the other little bits that were gone through to make sure nothing was forgotten and sorted out. It was not unnoticed. Honda/Acura's are some of my favorite cars, so I may be a little biased to this choice but again beyond amazing work. ✌

That car looks awesome. Well done and seemingly well deserved. On a side note... I had the same exact car. The before version that is. And i can't say how happy I was to see the seat torn at the seam. That happened to mine one day when I was vacuuming. I must have knelt on the seam as I was cleaning the passenger side. When i showed it to the guy at the dealership he laughed at me and said that doesn't happen from what I said. He accused me of standing on the seat with my head out of the sunroof! He insisted I was lying. Ever since I've been nervous Nelly while kneeling in the seat and reaching four anything thinking maybe it was my fault. This is just proof that these cars had this issue. Vindicated.
