Dude, i'm in T.O. as well, (North York acutally). I don't have a body shop recommendation for you, although my Corolla GT-S is getting fixed right now at a body shop. For what you want, i wouldn't want to recommend you to this place. I was wondering however, do yo know where i could get some OEM paint colour mixed into a spray can? I need "frost white" for my g/f's 94 integra LS. Need to paint her black side moldings and fix up some spots around the rear wheel well before they turn into more than just surface rust. Any help would be appreciated. I just moved here, in Dec. '04 so i wouldn't know of a place that this....where i used to live i was able to get any paint mixed into a spray can for like $12-$15/can........and i do know that CT carries OEM colours in smaller cans for like $7/can...i just don't know if they would have any for Acuras...they seem to favour domestic garbage...the typical ford/chevy/dodge shit.

Try Paint circuit... 473 McNicoll Ave. www.paintcircuit.com 416-490-8883. It's in the Leslie and Steeles area. You have an 86? DAYUM! That is my dream car (sad isn't it?). I hope they can help you, I don't know how much they charge. I'll be going there to get some paint for my hood and fender.

sMiLeY?... Is that you Rob? Itz me Geoff!

teehehehe. nah man, mine's an 89 FWD....got just a tad over 200 000 km. on my 4age engine. I was goin' North on Keele and some Chinese guy just pulled out in front of me without looking and i t-boned him. was like $2500 damage and was told it was only worth $1300....He was 100% at fault and i get to keep the car (the thing has NO dents or anything, with new rad, clutch, tranny, brake master cyl, etc etc,) and my insurance comp. is gonna cut me a cheque for $1500. Mechanically after the accident the car wasn't hurt but costmetically, i need hood straightend, new driver's side fender, front bumper and driver's side head lamp assembly. REALLY LAME that the guy wasn't paying attention but go figure...he was oriental and could BARELY speak english...surprise surprise.

Thanks everyone....i have no prob gettin' the code. it's on the inside of the driver's side B pilar. and smiley... you mean Acura of North Toronto right? i did a search at www.canada411.com and found all the Acura dealers in Toronto (there was like 6 or somethin')...they all price their shit differently (which is what i thought the case would be) 'cause i need to pick up a new cap and rotor....and Acura Terrace-Gate in Scar was cheaper than Acura of North Toronto. Just tryin' to give ya a heads up in case you need anything from the stealership that you can only get there...call around you'll be surprised.
