Does anyone happen to know the static roof bar/ roof limit? According to literature and the internet, which we know never lies; the weight capacity of the roof bars is 132lbs. I read somewhere else that the roof itself has a supposed limit of 154lbs, but can't find anything to back that up...
It looks great, but what's the consensus on that intake pipe adding more heat to the intake? It seems to me like it's a giant heat magnet on top of an already large heat source.
I installed a set of splash guards as well... For whatever reason, there is a ton of tiny loose gravel/stones in my neighborhood and I can hear it coming off of my tires as I drive through.
They're not too obtrusive and they actually look pretty good on the car. .I'm especially happy that...
Agreed. I'm a big Audi fan; their styling is on point along with fit and finish. I've got an older S4 that is currently down for oil consumption and had a Q7 with some bolt ones and a tune, which made it a blast to drive for a larger (ish) SUV until it got hit and totalled out.
I'm a big fan...
What's nuts is that I've had my car since June, and I've yet to see a single one in the wild. I travel a LOT for work and still haven't seen one. Jacksonville is HUGE and has a pretty bit car culture, yet not a one. Kinda odd. :D
Fixed that for you. ;):D
I don't wanna stray too far off topic, but folding mirrors, homelink and rear seat vents are all standard fare in cars in the $45k-50k price range.
That said, I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna keep mine for a little bit, so I'll eventually get around to installing these...
And that's the shame in itself.. We the consumer, have to physically add options to a 'premium' $50k+ car to make it comparable to other cars in the same price range. (Or even lower price range for that matter).
This is pure s3x..
I'm so tired of black, anthracite, charcoal, etc..., but I'm a bit intimidated about going shiny. I think this pic sealed the deal. I really like the VS-5RS, but I've also kinda had my eyes on the ML-10RT's in gold.
That said, putting a new set of wheels on the car is a...
I'm pretty happy with the car overall as it is, but there are a few things that I'm not so crazy about and have decided to address.
How about that stupid hood prop? $50k+ car and it has a hood prop? A while back I found a thread that @notorious9i6 posted...
I hate to be the party pooper, but Geez... $1500 for an intake that shows marginal gains at best and makes more noise? Sure, it looks cool, but I have a hard time seeing the value in dropping that kind of coin on an intake. For $1500, they could at least include something of a bit better...
Turned it off after the first week. I found that using it was counterproductive to the way that I already drive, so I personally don't feel the need for it. To each their own and I can see why so many people like it, but I'd rather do it myself.
Yes, the roof rails are T slotted. I will say this though; the slot on the OEM roof rails is a bit narrower. For reference, my bike mount is a Mini Branded Thule and I had to modify the T-bolt hardware a bit to fit the narrower rails of the OEM rack.
I made an installation video for the...
I traded my Charger for my Type-S and I have some goodies for it and somefor anyone interested; I didn't see anything in the rules about parts being Integra only, so if It's not allowed please delete.

I ended up going with 15% all around and skipping the windshield for now.. I did have him tint out the rear diffuser reflectors though which makes it look so much cleaner.
Yep. You are right.. I stand corrected
I'll bet you were the guy that reminded the teacher that homework was due..
1. What exactly is dangerous about it? My last 3 cars have been darker than 5% and I never had an issue. I've tinted most of my windshields to at least 70% and it helps...
What exactly is "ghetto af" about it?
The main purpose of tint is to cut down on UV transmission into the car, which is the main source of heat. Cutting down that interior heat not only makes it more bearable when the car is sitting out in the sun all day, but it also increases the...
