I’ve run flush setups in my previous vehicles and yes there will be some sling and stuff kicked up against the lower doors and rocker panels. Can mitigate from sandblasting your paint with mud flaps or PPF. Doesn’t need to be full PPF, just the sideskirts and lower 10 or 12 inches of the doors...
I purchased a second set of TPMS sensors from Acura and one of the sensors isn’t working properly and I had to clear the DTC code with my BlueDriver OBD2 tool a few times. Sometimes the sensor is picked up in a drive and sometimes it isn’t. I’m gonna have to bring that one sensor back to Acura...
A 18x9.5 et+45 will be tucked into the fender. I just swapped out to my set of 57DR Gramlights in 18x9.5 et+38 with 255/35/18 Michelin Cross Climate 2’s tonight. They are dead on flush with the top fender as seen in my photos.
If you want more sidewall, you are safe to even go to a 255/40/18...
Depends on the offset to get to flush. My 18x10 et+40 have a bit of poke and is pretty aggressive, but I’m running 265 width tires so it is slightly stretched. If I went with 275 or 285 it would definitely poke out further without negative camber adjustments.
18x9.5 et+45 is flush and +38...
I’ve run a few different setups on my car sharing some wheels I have from my FK8.
Here are some pics of 18x9.5 et+45 Mugen MF10’s and 18x10 +40 CE28 CR2 Black Editions. I like the CE28’s much better with deeper lip. I’ll need to swap over to my wet weather/winter setup of 57DR Gramlights next...
Installed the OE style ones today. They look great and easy to install. Took a minute each side and was scared to snap clips pulling off the original covers at first and takes a bit of effort. Best place to start pulling first is from the bottom of the cover and then to the inside and finally...
I’ll get my friend who will have it on a lift install them and do an alignment afterwards and I’ll ask him to take some pics when he is installing the collars.
Hey man, thanks for shipping me the parts. Good honest seller and can’t wait to install the rigid collars. Just need time to bring my car to the shop to have them installed and get an alignment.
Installed some Spoon parts. Will have to find time to do the rigid collars. The car picks up and pulls a little better around 3500 rpm with the Spoon drop-in Air Filter.
Didn’t like the look of the bronze MF10’s so swapped out to some 18x10 et+40 CE28 CR3’s instead. Darker wheels match better against the pearl white color in my opinion. Luckily I have lots of wheels to swap out to from my FK8. Gonna run with TPMS error code that doesn’t affect anything that...
Cloned my TPMs sensors and swapped out to a set of MF10’s with MPS4S tires. Stock suspension FYI.
Not gonna lower this car. My Model 3 and FK8 are lowered with body aero and I hate scraping on inclines and ramps, so this is staying stock height.
The ITS has all the parking sensors and cameras to help navigate tight spots. I come from a Rivian R1T and 2010 Toyota Tundra which doesn’t have any sensors since I have aftetmarket bumpers. The Integra is not a big vehicle at all.
The Stebel horns are much deeper in tone and a bit louder. They sound more like a truck horn than the standard passenger car horn. It also is louder when the alarm goes off and gets more attention. Fairly inexpensive mod and I personally like the sound better.

Here is a link to a blog from System Motorsports who have fitted the FL5 with different setups and I messaged Thomson Ho the owner who said that the FL5 has...
Dropped off the car to have Stebel Engineered Sounds Big Daddy style horns, Blackvue 900X 2CH (F&R) and 750X 2CH (sides) dashcams along with Uniden R9 radar/laser defense system installed. Getting ceramic tint (5% eyebrow, 50 front and 35 rear), and full XPEL PPF later this week.
Waiting for...
