:( Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: accordguy04 on June 08, 2011, 09:11:43 AM What the hell is the world coming to? Is nothing sacred???
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: CYANiDE on June 08, 2011, 09:54:32 AM Yep. A few people have had issues and I've come up to my car with one of the foglights like someone tried to rip them out on more than one occasion. Using 20 screws + zip ties + brackets FTW!
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: accordguy04 on June 08, 2011, 10:29:23 AM Mine are pretty much just sitting in the housing... for some reason the brackets were already broken when I went to install them, but it holds just fine. Only problem is, last time I took the bumper of I forgot to reconnect the harnesses to the lights. So, right now they don't work AND there is litterally NOTHING holding them in. haha
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: gargantula99 on June 08, 2011, 11:03:55 AM I will literally murder somebody if I ever caught them messing with my car.
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: cna on June 08, 2011, 11:06:24 AM yes nyc sucks pretty much they will even steal your rain visors out here
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: CrazyCreashunz on June 08, 2011, 11:36:09 AM Glad I finally got my parking space! Dudes is grimey out here trust me, I fell victim when they broke my window and took my kenwood flip out. It is what it is though just make sure to take precautions and lock your shit up tight in a legit parking lot.
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: Mike on June 08, 2011, 01:38:32 PM Could employ come of those torx security screws to make it a little more difficult to get things off.
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: accordguy04 on June 08, 2011, 02:08:21 PM But that might enrage the thief to the point where he just rips the bumper off in spite... so then u come out to a car with the bumper layin on the ground and mangled to the point where you need a new one anyway...

Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: thisaznboi88 on February 07, 2012, 03:13:36 AM Sleep in the car with a shot gun. Then just shoot him, plant a knife, and call it self defense.
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: gargantula99 on February 07, 2012, 08:18:39 AM Clemente, so as you were sitting inside of your car somebody tried to take your backup camera? Then he came back and threw paint on your windshield? That's some fucked up shit. I'm in elmhurst All the time.
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: timot_one on February 07, 2012, 08:50:51 AM That shit is fucked up. As awesome as NYC is, I'm glad I don't live there. Too much bullshit.
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: gargantula99 on February 07, 2012, 08:55:18 AM I hate this city and all it's worth. I wish I could move to Hawaii or something.

Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: B.R.03EX on February 07, 2012, 12:55:28 PM That is so fucked up. I'm glad I don't live in an area with vandalism like that.
Sleep in the car with a shot gun. Then just shoot him, plant a knife, and call it self defense. That's what I would want to do. I would have at least camped in the car and beat the dudes ass or something. Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: Arielit0oo on February 07, 2012, 02:18:24 PM This is another reason why I moved to the West Coast. Can't even park your car and it be left alone.
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: CrazyCreashunz on February 07, 2012, 03:36:19 PM i got lucky when the guy came back to vandalize my car , the same night only the hondas on the block i parked where messed with , the paint was hell to take off i have some minor scuffs on my windshield because of it but the detail shop said they can polish it off make it look new since its glass. pretty much every honda in my area is a accord drop tints fancy radios i guess its a target for crime (Washington heights ) What block is this...? What detail shop you go to cuz I go some minor scratches in my windshield from cleaning off bird shit in the cold, that sh*t is no joke. Of course the scratch is right in front of my view lolz!Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: gargantula99 on February 07, 2012, 03:40:23 PM cuz I got some minor scratches in my windshield from cleaning off bird shit in the cold, that sh*t is no joke.

Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: CrazyCreashunz on February 07, 2012, 03:50:20 PM Damp cloth but I guess the window was too cold so it ended up getting scratched! Next time cloth with hot water...
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: thisaznboi88 on February 07, 2012, 05:21:13 PM I would have Busted his hands and knee and let the rest of the neighborhood have some fun before the cop came and take him
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: timot_one on February 07, 2012, 07:19:00 PM I'd kneecap the fucker that messed with my car. I'm glad I live in an area where shit like that is uncommon. I'm also glad I have a garage that my car can stay in so nobody can fuck with it.
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: Mike on February 07, 2012, 08:42:07 PM People are just fucked up... No respect for other peoples stuff.
Title: Re: WARNING TO 7GEN ACCORDS LIVING IN NYC Post by: ikethegreat on February 08, 2012, 08:43:06 AM Shit like this is the reason why my #1 requirement when I was house shopping was a 2-car garage.
