make sure guy has insurance.

all the bestyou should be able to paint Acura Vigor for less them 1k if diy
just use acrylic paint but you will need to know how to buff it[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=134975][quote=”spackard” post=134961]Fellow Vigor owner here, with 265,000 miles and counting.
Those wiper arms: If you use some newspaper, tape, and PJ1 Satin Black Engine Paint on the arms it will really help cut the glare during sunset driving. I’ve found now the OEM paint’s gone on them a repaint every few years is needed.I fit in the Vigor better than my ’03 TL-S, you sit in the car and low to the road. Not sure if you found the HVAC work difficult, but I did when I did it about 10 years ago now.
Last repair I did on it was an alternator replacement. Can get a new, made in China, one for it on Amazon for a reasonable $149, but the one I got had a noisy diode pack, which would throw code 23’s and set the MIL. The output line runs parallel to the knock sensor wire for awhile and was inducing a false front knock sensor code. I put in a new diode pack for $49 and solved that issue.
Paid $15k for it in ’94, so it doesn’t seem like a $500 reliable POS driver to me. I mean, I’m coating the door seals with Krytox to stop the interior noise, for heaven’s sake (and, yes, it works). I kind of think (since yours has 137K miles on it) the longer you’re with it the more fond you’ll grow of it. Thing I like the best is the transmission programming. Nice shifts, sharp, straight shifter (not that J-gate stuff), always seems to choose the right gear for conditions, rather than trying to push high early and coast like a runaway train up to a light, favoring CAFE fuel numbers over driver performance. What’ll kill it is the parts are becoming hard to find. Shame.

Funny, I just shot a video of how to paint the windshield wipers the other week. It will likely be a Premium Member video however.
Thanks for your input.[/quote]
