Should work still with 91 which is the best us folks here in CA get.

Phoenix yellow would be nice. I think someone has a yellow wrapped one in the FB groups - it wasn't phoenix yellow but close and it looked fantastic.

in So Cal though? $3k below is going to be tough to find locally for that guy. @Mach ENT see if Glendale will work with you. I got mine at MSRP there back in February and that was still before prices started normalizing at MSRP. I can shoot over the name of the guy I worked with. They showed a...

Didn't mean to rag on it at all - was just saying not my cup of tea, personally. Curious to see numbers as well.

Thanks for the explanation guys! I think I'll stick to my original plan of sourcing a second ECU and tuning that then so I have a stock ECU for dealership visits during warranty period and smog.

not familiar with tunes here - what's emissions compliant mean? Like, someone from me in Cali can take this to get smogged and it'll be fine? Hondata/Phearable tunes - won't I pass smog with those based on the OBD read and sniff test?

I get it... no need to introduce that argument in here though since nobody had mentioned it. But I do agree with what you're saying.

ah bummer. i don't want to unlock my stock ECU at this time. glws! Curious, what are you trading the DE5 in for?

is this plug and play or would you need an unlocked ECU?

Nobody said that.

I thought I wanted a TEP until I saw one in person. Not a fan despite the rarity.

That's a good deal. I probably would've gone that route if mark-up wasn't so big out here in SoCal at the time I got my DE5. I still like how the DE5 looks better but $5k is a good chunk of savings and the Type R has huge aftermarket support compared to the DE5 which is nice.

Curious why you decided against the M3. The M3 (non-comp) was a consideration for me with the manual.

Well color me suprised. What's the reason you want the FL5 one when so many FL5 owners are opting for the DE5 one?

Are you only considering Apex Blue for the rarity/value retention? If so, sounds like you should go with LCM since that's the color that is "amazing" to you. It was between LCM and PWP for me and I've always been partial to white. They had both the PWP and the Apex Blue at the dealership I got...

Doubt you will find a DE5 owner who would actually want the FL5 module. Here's the part if you want to go that route: https://www.acurapartsforless.com/oem-parts/acura-ads-unit-3938131ma03

That gets thrown around a lot but do a search on the fl5 forum and you'll see the same issues on the supposedly superior built FL5.

specs?? I really want CE28s but not sure about going down to 18s. I really like how the 19s look right now on my car but some photos on here make it hard to tell the 18s are really smaller.

Anyway, not to derail OPs question - mine was built earlier this year and it's got a handful of the commonly mentioned rattles like behind the HUD, front camera housing, seatbelt/B-pillar trim. Should be curable with a little bit of time, effort and foam tape. It's not very noticeable if you...

This right here. It's easy to cite the Magnusson Moss act as your legal standing but at the end of the day it can be a major pain in the ass if the dealership pushes back. At worse, just swap the stock intake back on if you need to take it in.
