Thanks for all your input, guys. Just saw my neighbor's door panels in the garage when I got home today (they were not there Saturday or yesterday), so that confirms it.

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone's ever encountered these translucent plastic clips on an FL5. I got out of my car this morning and I found both of these on the ground, so my guess is they came from the driver's side. I took a quick look under the car but couldn't really determine...

I bought Mugen license plate bolts and they just spin in the housing I circled, so I must have stripped it out with the previous screw I used.

Yeah, I want to avoid going to the dealership if possible. And I do prefer an OE replacement. It's just that I was hoping to find somewhere online that sold the OE replacement but I can't find anywhere that does. I started this thread in hopes that someone had and could refer me to it.

I had seen these replacement sets on Amazon but was skeptical if they'd work on our cars or not. So yeah, I'll get dims and see if there's a set on there that matches. Thanks for the help, and welcome to the site!

So, I managed to strip the threads on one of the plastic housings for our license plate bolts. First, does anyone know how to replace these? Secondly, where can I purchase one?

Thank you and right back at ya. I was seriously considering Boost Blue for awhile but decided it'd draw too much attention for my liking where I live. Still really enjoy seeing the color around here.

It's good to hear from someone who was in the same boat as me. Thanks for sharing.

Understood. I just know I was very set on buying new but the search and dealership experience wasn't worth it for me. Best of luck to you.

I like to think so. I was just fed up with the whole dealership experience with buying new, plus I needed a car because my previous vehicle needed repairs that were going to cost way too much to be worth it. That being said, there was still a markup on the '23 I purchased. However, the...

Thank you for the warm welcome and congratulations, everyone! I hope to be more active on here now that I've had the car for a bit and have introduced myself.

@dminus Are you dead set on buying new, or would you consider buying used?

Sounds pretty good! I like the gurgling aspect of it as opposed to the low hum stock provides.

Hey, just wanted to take a moment to formally introduce myself and my '23 Type R. I got sick of playing The Game with buying brand-new, so I decided to go the used route and found a '23 CW with 2919 miles on it just a mile and-a-half from my home. Looked at it on a Saturday and got the keys and...

Hey, thanks for your insight. Really appreciate hearing from someone who dealt directly with this stuff directly.

Excellent. Glad you were able to find a dealer willing to do the bare minimum (never thought I'd hear myself say that). I'm hoping I can find one, too, that will not do everything on their checklist.

Did a search for thread titles on PDI and didn't find anything. So I gotta ask, for those who have purchased an FL5, what was your PDI experience? I know Mark from Savagegeese made it a condition of his purchase for the dealer not to PDI his Type R. Has anyone else been successful with this? Or...

@Wrexysi , @RP2000R , and @Clark_Kent : Thank you all for your responses and advice. So far, all the ones I'm finding are at dealers. I just find the whole response and attitude of "You drive it when you buy it" really off-putting. I'm willing to work numbers and/or put down a deposit so I can...

Has/was anyone able to test drive an FL5 without, basically, committing to purchasing the vehicle? I've called four different dealers so far and their responses so far have been "We'll run the numbers and see if they work for us", "You drive it when you buy it," or "You're not allowed to test...

I was rooting for you, man. Sorry to hear the deal fell through.
