  1. Any issues with 275/35 R19 Tires?

    Good question! It has been a month since I swapped to my winter set up so I would not be confident providing anything definitive. I can say with some confidence that I have no memory of believing noise levels had increased. All that said, I probably have a higher "tolerance" for tire noise than...
  2. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Added black control knobs and a Create Carbon console cover - both procured from forum members.
  3. Washington Racing Black Climate Control Knob Rings

    Received my preorderd set today. All was shipped well packaged and with tracking. Easy install. These aren't cheap but they make the interior look a lot better in my opinion.
  4. I did a thing! Installed gloss black knobs (HVAC / climate control)

    Are these part numbers for the left, middle, and right knob? Or are these for full sets?
  5. Any issues with 275/35 R19 Tires?

    I don't think you can go wrong with this size. More sidewall for peace of mind. It fills the wheel well better but doesn't look 'chunky'. Bit of a sweet spot if you ask me.
  6. Any issues with 275/35 R19 Tires?

    So far so good - but we are talking very small sample size (maybe 500 miles before I had to put on the all-seasons). Never had any rubbing and the ride was better. Probably has to be some drop in performance, but on the street, I did not notice much of a difference. I suspect you might on a...
  7. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Yep. Stock suspension.
  8. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Stock height (should have noted that). I blew one of the stock Michelins after what I would characterize as premature wear and got a sidewall puncture in one of the replacements. Used that as an excuse to go this route - which I had wanted to do for a while. No regrets so far. Because I am not...
  9. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Had a set of Continental 275/35/r19 Extreme Contact Sport 2's mounted. The extra sidewall helps with the ride and I can't detect any noticeable drop in performance - granted, I haven't tracked it or done any autocross. This seems like a nice alternative to the stock rubber band tires for owners...
  10. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    I installed a set of these a couple of months ago. I had never used/installed a rivnut before so it probably took me a lot longer to set up than it should have. Its a great upgrade and well worth the modest cost.
  11. Any issues with 275/35 R19 Tires?

    I just got a set of 275/35/r19 Continental Extreme Contact Sport 2 mounted last week. I think the extra width helps for the Contis that seem to have a lower "shoulder" than the Michelins. Absolutely no regrets and no rubbing (stock suspension). I was a devout Michelin fan for two decades but...
  12. Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

    I guess this is how a dealer adds a mark-up over MSRP without technically adding one. But at least this way you get some (mostly) tangible add ons and mods that you might have accumulated on your own. I agree with the other recent posts - if it fits in your budget, pull the trigger. This car...
  13. Don't Sell Your OEM Wheels

    Touch up paint pen for sure will be better, but the sharpie (not just a black marker - an actual Sharpie branded marker) worked just fine for me. It is a good stop gap measure until you do something more permanent.
  14. Any issues with 275/35 R19 Tires?

    I am totally going this route when I need new tires for the summer wheels.
  15. Merch?

    Tee Public is my go to for stuff like this. Search Honda Civic and you will find a bunch of options. Typically you can add just about any design to a tee-shirt, sweatshirt/hoodie, hat, decal, etc. https://www.teepublic.com/
  16. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Ordered a custom gear shift "hoodie" from a vendor on Etsy to help with the cold and hot days.
  17. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    What are your tire and wheel specs?
  18. FL5 Color Matched Wing

    Not sure I like the color match wing in the other colors (nothing looks bad, my subjective opinion is the black wing is better) but something about the red makes it work for me.
  19. Cross-Shopping FL5?

    These thoughts exactly. While the CT4 V Blackwing has an MRSP of $62,195, the only 2025 I see for sale in my area is listed at $79,670.The lowest priced 2024 is listed at $81,265. And as Bigfx stated, CT5 V Blackwings are comfortably above $100k. So even with the CT4 V (which has a tiny...
