  1. Emergency help for FL5 tire replacement

    I yea, the one I have is like a "plus" package that includes cosmetic repair, so I can get a repair done whenever. I think mine only covers up to $200/wheel for repair, and the place I used charges $250 (they do good work), so I footed $50 myself. They did cover the whole tire though which was...
  2. Emergency help for FL5 tire replacement

    I have the wheel protection package from the dealer sold me backed by Allstate. You send a copy of it to the repair shop of your choice and they are supposed to make a claim. I got a new PS4S tire and a wheel repair covered through it last year.
  3. Sources of Rattles/Creaks/Squeaks + Fixes

    The first few days I had a bunch of rattles and squeaks, especially in the dash and around the side windows, but after driving around a bunch they all went away. I didn't do anything to try to fix them. Just wanted to mention to maybe let it settle before taking things apart :p
  4. New 2023 Type R owner here with a few questions.

    2) Switched to 18x9.5 wheels and 255/40/18 PS A/S tires and the ride feels way better. 3) Full PPF + ceramic coat (sadly as with most places in MA I do not have a garage...)

  7. Wake the Dragon 2024

    I'm thinking of going but don't have FB (and don't want to sign up). Is there anything else to know besides booking a room and showing up? Will you cross-post any updates here? Any tips for first timers? Thanks!
  8. 2023 Civic Type R FL5 - Reviews Compilation (Articles + Videos) ✍🏻 🎥

    I also have an android and just experienced the issue with android auto not connecting. It kept saying device not compatible (despite it having worked the entire time I've owned the car til now). I had to reboot the infotainment system to fix it.
  9. Any good CTR dealers in Mass that come close to MSRP or not too much ADM?

    I got mine from Cambridge Honda a few months ago for $5k ADM. I don't know if they have more allocations or not though.
  10. What did you ppf?

    I think I'm one of the minority that did the whole car, but I decided to do Xpel Stealth. All the piano black pieces were done in Xpel Ultimate. Here's some photos if you're curious.

    It's usually about a month from what I've seen.
  12. Thoughts on Xpel Stealth PPF?

    Good to know. Definitely lots to learn with this car. I think I just experienced my first rock in the brakes and was freaking out due to the horrendous screeching ?
  13. Thoughts on Xpel Stealth PPF?

    Well, I decided to go through with it. I think it turned out really good!
  14. Type R owner age?

    36 gang checking in
  15. Post your FL5 Civic Type R delivery pics! 🙌 📸

    The detailer will remove it. They told me to have the dealer leave it on, and not washing it saves them a day of work during paint correction.
