Very interesting! Thanks to everyone for replying and finding the answer.
I love how driver centric the CTR and ITS is. Who cares if everyone gets rained on when opening the door? Passenger doesn't need a power seat. Rear seat? Pfft, no arm rests for you! ?
I noticed these two odd bumps on the weatherstrip of the driver's door and thought surely this looks like a repair.
None of the other doors have them so I was about to order a new strip when my friend dropped by with his '22 Civic Si and it has the exact same bumps in the same spot.
Is this...
People are talking about dealers offering accessories in lieu of markups but the pricing on those accessories can vary greatly. There is typically a very significant markup on accessories so you may be paying $5,000 for accessories that are worth much less.
I put together a quick spreadsheet...
I applaud your principles and you're in good company.
Forgive me for butting in but when I see someone whose heart is set on an ITS and starts talking EV, I feel compelled to step in and pull you back from the edge.
My understanding was that the initial 200 online Type S reservations through...
Absolutely!
So far I've only replaced the LEDs in the doors but plan to look at the map lights later when I install the Homelink mirror.
The only tools needed to replace the LEDs are a Philips screwdriver and some plastic trim tools to make it easier. Installing the pattern projectors will...
See, we all have stories to tell with this car ?
LCM/red wasn't my first choice either but just wait until you see it??
Congrats and please post pics of your new ride!
No problem at all, sir!
The guys at Ellicott City really took great care of me.
Next time I'm in Woodbridge, I'll stop by. Buying parts and accessories is addictive?
This week I installed the splash guards, projector/puddle lights and switched out the white ambient lights for red.
Next up...
It is FANTASTIC!
When the car was delivered, the dealer immediately sent me pictures because I was concerned about the low VIN arriving so late. It came with the usual plastic wrapped interior and looked perfect when I picked it up the next day.
In the week and a half since, I've driven it...
My VIN is below 600 with a June 2023 build date so it's definitely of the first batch.
The second batch of LCM/Reds produced September 2023 are coming in with VINs in the 1200s.
I was checking the Acura tracker and local dealer stock daily for months and also noticed the first batch of...
?????? ?
Thanks!
I don’t *think* it’s the same car but this ITS definitely has a story to tell.
It was built in June and has a low VIN which makes it one of the first batch of LCM/Reds produced. To the best of my knowledge (online tracker and window sticker) it shipped from Marysville, was...
Brought her home last Tuesday!
My first choice was the Ebony interior but I am loving the red.
Been busy the past few days installing the black TypeS badges and black A emblem on the rear.
Installed the splash guards today with a few more things coming soon!
? LCM/ebony is my first choice?
This car looks great in many colors so you really can't go wrong. At least you'll have your choice of ebony interior.
I was initially considering ABP/ebony myself but since I typically keep my cars for at least ten years, I was questioning whether I would be...
My understanding from recent conversations is that the factory has its production schedule and dealers can request certain color combinations as opposed to building cars per order from dealers. Knowing that the cars are produced in batches, this makes sense.
The allocation quantities seem...
