A case of beer (or whatever I have on the shelf that day) and a pack of bandages. We have to share the bandages.
Also for anyone else interested in the PRL inlet badge, reach out to JD Customs and show them my picture and they'll know exactly what to do. You can go custom with the badge too!

I want to chime in and say that I sincerely appreciate your commitment to this @bisquick. The amount of time effort you've committed to this is admirable!
That being said, I love the DSC controller and the OTS map. It could absolutely use some fine tuning for everyone's individual preferences...

3Pcs Carbon Fiber For Acura Integra Type S 2023-2025 Car Engine Bay Side Bay Bonnet Panel & Radiator Cooling Plate Cover Trim

Just be aware it's designed with the Type S PRL HVI in mind. I'm sure a little trimming could get it to fit on the A...
Jogon for this one. I didn't know the APR was able to do that? Pretty neat! Someone mentioned the APR required some cutting and/or drilling or something also. The Jogon just fits into place and reuses the factory clips.

Honestly I would have LOVED plastic and I did inquire about it also. They have no plans for plastic, I'm assuming the profit just isn't there for that.

I'm actually on the fence with wrapping...
My Jogon shrouds came in and I wanted to share it with the crew. In case anyone else is looking to lighten their bank account also. I bought it from their Ali Express store and you might need to contact them directly to have them do the matte finish as well as have the carbon weave in the same...
I've never been but I believe you're lined up and it's basically "drive thru" style unlocking. Can't answer any of your other questions though but I hear the event is a whole THING so chances of you having to rub elbows with a Hond-ite are high.
FYI Hondata is making the rounds and in August they'll be at the Marriott by the airport for on-site unlocks.
Additionally, these ecus are able to be remote unlocked as well. You could save on the shipping and anxiety of sending your ecu out.
My buddy who owns a body shop did the paint. I paid in pizzas and beer lol. I gave him a swatch of Prismatic Illusion Copper and he did his best with the paint match.
I took some sand paper to the "HONDA" logo and replaced it with the "ACURA" emblem which I helped design and JDC Customs made...
When I did mine, I put the on the ears as those are the "sliding" parts of the pad.
I'm running Paragon P2 and my fronts were a little squeaky coming to a stop, that was what prompted me to grease them. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have used any lube.
