Couple annoying things with the 2002

One, the doors. I don't mind them but my friend never seem to be able
to shut them properly the first time.

Two, passenger seat belt always hit the pillar when it is taken off. With the driver's belt I slowly release it but everytime the passenger takes it off it smashes against the pillar.

Beside that everything is cool. Sometimes I miss going into reverse.
Going to get some tints tomorrow, and contemplating whether to do the front side windows also.

By the way, should the HID's be white, or should then be like the Acura's with a slight hint of pink?

yeah, my friends started to slam the door really hard to get it to shut on the first try... so I told them to simply shut the door by keeping a hand on it and briskly pushing it shut (instead of swinging it shut, like most people are used to doing). Make any sense?

Amen! My friends always slam the doors....I think its probably to **** me off. I tell them just shut it, don't slam it. The doors close E-ZAY, its an import, not like my heavy old 86 Olds.

The door latch should be adjustable by the dealer.

The seatbelts slam the pillar on the '00, too. I've got lots of little "dingers" in the plastic trim on both sides now.

I had the same problem with my front passenger door on my 2K2. The dealer adjusted the door latch on the pillar outward a little and now it closes easily.

Yeah, I've got those "dingers" too. I also have a couple of dingers in the tint on my drivers window frmo the seatbelt flying up too fast and hitting it. So...be careful with the seatbelt if you get tint.
