Mine was a luck. I was driving home and someone trade it in a day prior and wasn't on the lot yet. Found a db one and I was like let's make it happen. The test drive sealed it. It's a great feeling and be sure to name her.

And i dont know if this normally happens, but I parked it on a slight incline and pulled ebrake almost all the way up (close but not) and it was in first gear...It starting rolling back slowly :O
But then I put it in neutral and pulled the ebrake all the way up and its fine...
Should i get the brakes checked?

Id say adjust your ebrake.....Mine needs to be done, but I rarely park on hills

And about the grill.................if you like it, it's your car. I just think "billet" grills are outta date and look outta place on the Z. just my opinion though, take it or leave it.

The billet grill probably comes right off. Take it off see how you like it. Then go to an acura dealership and get a RDX antenna! WELCOME

Pretty common, although you would have thought that the previous owner/s would have sorted that out long ago.
