The Official ACUITY Instruments CivicX product launch thread!

Acuity is pretty awesome. I sent them a message this morning about the rocker arm availability, short shifter & the zip-tie method.
Actually got a personable phone call from one of the guys during lunch. Hopefully one more week on the rocker arm and we spoke in depth about the short shifter & zip-tie method. They found this to be the best/firmest way of holding the shift cables. Discussed other designs but they felt after testing the zip-ties did the best and it's pretty much free. They said they discussed of doing a part but the zip-ties held the best.
Not the biggest fan of these style either & I'd love to wait for a full shifter as well. Their full shifters look amazing.
However, I'd just like to get this done soon and the previous year models are all metal(which is awesome, broke a few plastic ones before) and about $400+ if it's anything to go off of.
They do appear to come with the rocker arm upgrade, centering spring, & base bushings. So another $70 for the shift cable bushings so $470-$500 without a shift knob or boot adapter for the "full" shifter setup.
I'm was able to get the the shift cable bushings, shifter base bushings, centering spring, rocker arm, short shifter, & throttle pedal assembly for $357 or $260 for the "full" shifter kit using the stock shifter assembly.
Not sure if it's worth the wait? I was thinking of grabbing the entire buddy club short shifter(plastic) and adding the Acuity parts to it.
I can't decide whether to sell off the stuff I have(minus shift cable bushings) and just wait or grab the rocker & short shifter adapter.

Unless ACUITY has advised you otherwise, I would not assume that ACUITY's parts for the OEM shifter fit the Buddy Club shifter. I know in the past they've had issues with Buddy Club changing the design up.

Yep, I never assume. Always researching.

I got a message that my rocker just shipped, so hurry up if you want one before they're out of stock again!

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but I have acuity everything waiting to install them, but I forgot to order the base bushings. I however still have my old 9th gen si base bushings from when i got there short shifter kit. Will the 9th gen base bushings work on my 10th gen? I've yet to get in there and look, any help is appreciated.

That and more. It will be fully adjustable and showcase ACUITY’s remarkable engineering and build quality that is far beyond any of their competitors.

Agreed. I had their full shifter on my '15 SI and saw it first hand. I'm waiting for their full shifter.
