Thanks guys-

I can’t wait to get her back! I have a K&N Typhoon intake, HFP suspension kit and 18" Rims, PR2 Throttle Body Spacer and Gaskets and CorSport Manifold Gasket and a Vibrant cat back!!! The parts just sat here but now they are going to be installed after I get my ride back. I was so close to selling this stuff but I am glad that Circuit City stepped up!!!

North Shore Honda is getting started tomorrow. I hope to have my car back next weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds great. CC is now bumped to the bottom of my shit list (still there tho).

As asked before: Where's the other 2K coming from? Did the dealer agree to do the work for the $10,xxx that insurance is giving them?

I'm still curious to hear your response on whether or not you knowingly signed off on them not using the correct harness and cutting your vents.

The conclusion of this story as posted on AutoBlog:
Quote:
You may recall a Carsumer Advocacy post we published a couple weeks ago about an 8thcivic.com forum member whose new Honda Civic Si suffered $12,199.64 worth of damage after Circuit City employees botched the install of a $3,000+ stereo in his car. At the time, Circuit City had decided to only refund the cost of the stereo. The owner, who goes by the handle VTECnical, took his cause to the internet and once again, the internet came through.
VTECnical has posted on 8thcivic.com that Circuit City has stepped up and will take care of the car. He told Autoblog in an email that he wasn't at liberty to discuss the matter further, but we've been in contact with some people repping Circuit City who told us that the consumer electronics store's third-party insurance provider covered $10,158.45 of the repair cost and the store itself paid for the rest out of its own pocket. On top of that, Circuit City gave VTECnical a brand new Pioneer AVIC Z2 valued at over $2,000. Congrats to VTECnical and props to Circuit City for doing the right thing.
