Here's my winter tire conundrum... I'm in Ohio. We can get snow, and do get snow sometimes... my A-Spec + Tech did just fine last year on the Continental All-Seasons for what snow driving I needed to do. I know I won't be able to safely to run these 19" summer tires all winter, so I'll need to...

Yes--22mm will work.

That’s Acura Columbus, and I was one of the people who mentioned it—I’d be the first to say it was a scare tactic, but I did get to listen as they took call after call about the car on the 19th and the 22nd. They’re not taking deposits from everyone on that list, but it’s not implausible that...

When I was assured the whole ceramic coat process would only take 45 minutes from start to finish (despite the car being right-off-the-truck and filthy), I had enough information to be reasonably certain it’d be nothing worth $999, that’s for sure!

My salesman tried to sell me on a $999 "ceramic coating" that is essentially CARPRO's Reload product with minimal ceramic content, more intended to maintain a true ceramic coating. Reload is $35/bottle. I suppose the $964 delta accounts for the microfiber towels and elbow grease?

Update: I picked up my ITS from the tint shop yesterday, and I'm VERY pleased with the results. I went with 15% all around and 50% on the windshield. Now that I've driven a bit with a tinted windshield, I understand the hype. It's 100% worth the cost. My eyes are already grateful. Next project...

I agree with this--I have everything I need to do a CQuartz 3.0 application arriving today--$180, easy DIY job, and MUCH better quality product than any dealership will sell you.

For anyone interested, my monthly premium increased by $43 when switching from the '23 A-Spec + Tech to the '24 ITS. YMMV.

If this timeline (first circulated months ago) is showing the production order of combos (from right to left) it will be toward the end of the year: This may no longer be valid, however, as Black/Red cars have begun delivering in Canada and White/Orchid isn't even on the list (but the builder...

No, the bronze wheels don’t come with tires—you’re right, they move the original tires over and you get the original rims (with TPMS sensors, most likely).

I've officially ordered the Artwork Bodyshop gloss black spoiler for my ITS--looking forward to sharing pics when it arrives in a few weeks. I have no concerns about fitment, since the liftback is the same from the Integra Base through ITS, and I prefer the gloss black option over carbon fiber...

Yeah we really need to quit hammering the difference in MSRP as if the CTR can actually be found at MSRP. Don't get me wrong, there are people who get it at MSRP (Savagegeese Mark, for instance) but guys like him have effectively donated an ADM-worth of time and energy in one way or another...

Much has changed in 23 years, including you. "Special" is both very personal and subjective. What's "special" to you today, may not even be "special" a few weeks or months from now. It's easy to look at something from so long ago and gloss over the issues you absolutely wouldn't settle for...

Totally agree--I've enjoyed all ~200 miles on mine, even when I've gotten stuck behind arguably less "fun daily drivers"... which seems to happen all too often.

Acura Columbus is the only other dealership committing to MSRP on the ITS, most are looking for $5k+ over MSRP--unfortunately, Acura Columbus claims they have close to 100 people on their waiting list.

I had my A-Spec + Tech tinted by someone who definitely would've charged extra if they had to remove paneling to tint those rear windows, and they reported no issues.

I've got a Black/Black ITS as well--totally agree, on how this car looks in person, photos don't seem to do it justice. Congrats!

SavageGeese did a comparison review on the CTR, Golf R, Elantra N, GRC, and (almost) the Subaru S209--obviously no Type-S (video was produced pre-embargo), but they did a nice job hammering out the pros and cons of each (with an actual race car driver, no less): The ITS will fail to carry the...

Except for the part where accessories bought during the purchase are covered by the same warranty as the car itself--not as critical for all-weather mats, but there's subjective value in the warranty factor.

And somehow my Black/Black is #498 and arrived on 6/15... VINs are supposed to denote order of production, but it sure sounds like they're being drawn out of a hat.
