Thank you for this...It's been about 7yrs since I last financed a car. Just trying to cover all the bases, especially since I just got the call that my TEP arrived at the dealer an hour ago.
So Acura Financial Services is still running 4.9% APR for "well qualified" buyers on 2023 Integras thru 5 July in the States. I was over at my dealer yesterday and asked, "theoretically, what rate would a guy w/ an 800 credit score on a 48mo loan? Would it be close to that 4.9%?"
In not so many...
Thanks…it was more a rhetorical question. I joke with folks that I got into IT years ago solely because I can’t do simple math in my head and need a computer…or calculator…or abacus.
Thankfully no required add-ons at my MSRP dealer and if they want to start getting funny w/ trade-in prices, I'll have my quote in hand from CarMax, which is a 5min walk down the road. Of course that leads me to more mental gymnastics than my puny brain was built for--In NC the trade-in amount...
The Alex on Autos review gave a brief look under the trunk tray and it appears that that there is no threaded receiver to ratchet down the spare tire while it's in the trunk.
I'm fairly certain the part# is 08U97-3S5-210A. and the installation doc is here: http://www.urvi.net/forumfiles/SB/BII19600-23.PDF
Just a quick note that you can find install docs as they come available at AcuraZine.com...

The demo you drove, like almost all the other ones where people have complained about gaps/fit of the front bumper in relationship to the fender, have one thing in common--the illuminated Acura emblem on the grill. Installation requires removal of the front bumper and I would not be surprised...
The 2024 Integra Manual has info about the ITS as well... there's a PDF you can download now at owners.acura.com as well as a web-based version.
The fueling page actually says 93 (!!) octane required. That's gonna be hard to do here in the Mid-Atlantic...
Interesting given the other 11th-gen Civics all go capless. I wonder if it's due to the CTR being manufactured in Japan and maybe that's the spec there. I'm not putting money on it but, for economies of scale, I can't imagine the 'Teg's capless system would be swapped out given that the ITS...
Good to see Dire Straights in the playlist (twice). I find "Brothers in Arms" (the album containing "Money for Nothing") to be a great test for a sound system, at least in CD format.
I'm fairly certain that this metal piece is the center rear jack point on the Integra (same as the 11th gen Civic). In older Honda products there was a tow hook in a similar location that was the jack point.
