  1. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Paint correction and ceramic coating plus rear door PPF. She really needed that correction after 10k miles.
  2. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Do people pull the strut pins even if you’re not tracking the car? Any negatives to doing it?
  3. Plug and Play Homelink Mirror for FL5 -- 1 Hr Install

    Just take note of how you get the old one off. They twist on exactly the same so there should be no issues. It took me a few minutes to get mine at the correct angle to click in the first time, but it’s been fine.
  4. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Some people will give you crap for wanting to soften the ride of a Type R, but it it really does just take some of the edge off and I doubt it even hurts the track performance at all. It’s subtle but helps a lot, especially if you drive on crappy roads like me.
  5. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I second this. I want mine as low or lower than stock but further back.
  6. Unwanted attention

    Oh hey. Me too. I see a ton of WRX and VAG cars. BMWs. Lots of Mustangs and Vettes because it’s Michigan. Just glad people around here haven’t started jacking cars for wheels, etc.
  7. Unwanted attention

    I have a SGP and feel the same. I’m getting my wing color matched soon.
  8. Unwanted attention

    I haven’t noticed that issue at all, but I don’t live in a big city. Most people in West Michigan don’t even know what a Type R is.
  9. Front Resonator Delete

    Yeah, I went to a local shop and just asked them to delete front resonator. It was done in an hour and something like $150. The sound is definitely deeper and a little louder. It’s what it should have been from new. Not loud enough to please a lot of kids, and maybe the ITS sounds better because...
  10. Poor FL5 Owner

    I paid 7 over (about half of which did go toward things like wheel and tire, etc so probably not as bad as a lot of deals). I put several thousand down to offset that and yeah I financed a decent chunk of it. I’ve had the car for 7 months or so. I love the car and I’m happy with having bought...
  11. Wisconsin For Sale: Honda FL5 19" Forged Wheels

    I love mine. Curious, what did you go with instead?
  12. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Looks good. That’s one thing that Joe Raiti always “zonks” in his reviews. Is it just stuck on with tape?
  13. Plug and Play Homelink Mirror for FL5 -- 1 Hr Install

    The plug and play harness kit I got from Honda actually came with the clip!
  14. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I don’t blame you! I planned to keep mine just in case I need it down the road.
  15. Plug and Play Homelink Mirror for FL5 -- 1 Hr Install

    That clip alone is enough to scare me away from doing this job. I hate that thing. I took it off to add some foam to stop a rattle and I couldn’t figure out how it’s supposed to work and ended up just breaking it off and ordering a new clip. Thing was impossible to get off without destroying it.
  16. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Funny, I wasn’t mad that Honda went back to a leather steering wheel on the FL5 at first but this alcantara OEM wheel matches my shift boot. Pretty easy install. About an hour, being extra cautious.
  17. From FK8 owner to FL5

    I had a ‘21 FK8 for ~9 months when the info was pouring in about the 11th gen. The idea of a more refined version of the car I already loved really appealed to me, so I went ahead and sold the FK8. Since I had paid a markup on the FK8, there wasn’t much of a difference financially to upgrade. I...
  18. Is it possible to make the Type R seats heated?

    It’s great to drive every day though. :)
  19. Is it possible to make the Type R seats heated?

    Do you really want heated seats that bad or is this just one of those things like fog lights that don’t matter, but people seem to focus on when comparing car specs? I went through that phase myself with both features for a bit, questioning the value I was getting for the dollar paid, but...
  20. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Ayyyy it’s the famous Clark_Kent! I actually like the faux aluminum and don’t love the red carbon if it’s just overlay. Is that the solution you’re thinking of? I do plan to pick up the alcantara steering wheel (even though I initially wasn’t upset they did away with it on the FL5 because mine...
