My house would've been paid off by now if i stopped trading in cars. The guy you were referring to traded in the ugliest type r (2020), I would want to get rid of it too.
Tint, resistall (outside/interior), and door film. Funny thing is when I traded in my vehicle with tint they also added a "desert package" on it and added $2500 for no reason.
The vehicle will alert you with a A1 Service Due Soon light on the dashboard. Thats the only time you're able to schedule a time to bring the vehicle in for service.
I'm not trying to make my integra into a type s. I got the Integra for great gas mileage that has decent acceleration. You might as well trade in your Integra for a Type S instead of trying to piece it together.
I don't see a reason to continue AcuraLink after the trial ends. I only use it to schedule maintenance and after that I'll just take it to a mom and pop shop.
Also no sunroof is better for anti body roll and overall rigidity.
