Thanks, appreciate the response.

Hey @BuntaTypeR, curious to know, when did you order your Spoon Stiff Plate and where did you order it from, and how long did it take to get? I ordered one for my FL1 at the end of July from Black Hawk Japan and I'm still waiting for it.

Its all normal. IAT will normally go up a bit when at a stand still since air is not moving.

I like the Type R replica bumper a lot more than the 2025 facelift bumper.

An OEM Type R bumper wont be a direct fit since the Type R is wider than a standard Civic. You'll need to get an aftermarket Type R style front bumper, those should be a direct fit. Something like this. 2022-2024 Honda Civic Type R Style Front Bumper

This looks like a better option than dropping your subframe.

Looks like its true.

Might have to reinstall my PRL mount, might not have given it enough time and miles to break-in.

That's what I'm worried about too, I was told to wait as they may have updated procedures later that will possibly not need to drop the subframe.

Love ordering from Black Hawk and usually have no issues, but I do recommend reaching out to them regarding parts to verify if items are in stock or the wait times from them shipping the items out, they are very good at responding in usually 1 or 2 business days. I'm still waiting on the Spoon...

Sorry this happened to you. Hopefully, you also received or purchased insurance for the transportation. If you did, that should cover damages. I would look over your paperwork from the transportation company for any documentation regarding damages during transport. Unfortunately its a shitty...

Just reuse the bolt if yours did not come with a new one. I don't think you need Loctite, but I'm sure it doesn't hurt. The torque specs should be around 36 lbf-ft I believe.

The PRL Mount is much stiffer than any OEM mount, wheel hop is greatly reduced and you feel more connected to the car when shifting. With a stiffer mount you have NVH, especially when the AC is on, but its tolerable. The Type R RMM is just slightly stiffer than the RMM that came with my Sport...

Probably because Spoon is expensive compared to other mounts like Hasport lol I have Rigid Collars on my Sport Touring, and I've had both the PRL RMM and upgraded to a Type R OEM RMM, there's still some NVH with the collars, but its tolerable and you get used to it, but I can only imagine how...

Would love it if they sold the pieces individually, but I understand they want it as a set. If you do buy it I'd recommend ordering direct from Spoon in Japan or Black Hawk Japan. Even with the cost of international shipping its still cheaper than buying it from a retailer state side...

I have Acuity, a buddy of mine uses Hybrid Racing, those are the 2 most popular ones. There are several other companies that make shifter cable bushings too. They all essentially do the same thing, its really up to you in which one you want to go with. With installing the bushings in an FL5...

The only thing I could think of that may be "ambient lighting" would be something around your map light that helps keep your night vision when driving at night.

I don’t know, I barely just ordered my tow strap ?

I finally was able to put an order through HRC for the strap.
