Black cloth shouldn't get too hot--leather is much hotter after exposure to direct sunlight. If you do get leather, use a leather conditioner frequenly.
 
Silver is a great color--or non-color because it's really a metallic, light gray. I don't have a facility for washing my car at home and go many weeks without a car wash. The silver still looks good after I wipe off the dirty windows.
 
Metallic paints in dark colors rot in the sun which reflects from the aluminum dust in the paint and destroys the surrounding color. It's common to see dark cars with a grayish rash-like area on the roof, trunk, or hood where the sun exposure is intense. Stay away from dark metallics if your car spends much time in direct sunlight.
 
Silver is a good choice for a metallic, but the best color for a car exposed to sunlight is white with no metallic particles in it.............Richard

I'm sure the dimmesion changes are due to cosmetic fascia changes - the only metal changes are around the trunk/rear.

It sounds like your insurance company doesn't want to have to deal with the subrogation process - that's when they have to chase the other insurer for reimbursement.
 
It sounds like you are not at fault. You should be able to collect under your policy and have them chase the other insurer. The only thing you may have to go after the other company for is your deductible and rental car. I've never dealt directly with the other insurer except for the the above items - my company handles everything and then goes through the subrogation process.
 
As far as new vs. used parts - you may not have a choice. All insurers specify used or after market parts once the vehicle hits a certain age/mileage. You can pay extra for OEM parts or have the bodyshop work with the insurer to get OEM parts. But they have to prove that aftermarket will cost more in the long run.
 
Good Luck.

95 Accord Troubles by mel151999

Recently my honda has been starting and then completly shutting off. Even when I try and rev the engine all meters will go down to nothing and I won't be able to press of the gas. Sometimes when I put it in first gear it starts right away but today it didn't. It doesn't do it all the time only at really random occassions. Also, for the first time today it actually "died". I was driving and all the meters went down to 0, I quickly pulled into a parking lot and my wheel would barely turn. The lights were still working and everything else but the car itself just stopped. When I restarted the car it was fine, I didn't even have to rev the engine. Could somebody please help me, I have to drive back to college soon and I really don't was it to die on the highway.

You should also get ground loop isolation for these rcs inputs as well.

Has anyone purchased the Honda auto dim mirror for their Accord? If so, do you like how it functions? Thanks.

Sounded like the distributor is going bad.
