I agree! On the Civic Type R they're dark chrome from the factory.

Instead of the gloss black badge pack we get, I opted to try something different because I really like the gray/gunmetal with blue combo and I wanted to break up the blue + gloss black up a bit. It's really hard to capture the subtle difference on camera but I think it's a fantastic alternative...

So. This is all anecdotal and by no means conclusive because 1. I'm a Type S owner by choice (I'll explain this) and 2. I'm just one (skewed) data point (see point #1 above). My buddy dropped by with his long-awaited FL5 over the weekend, the car had 159 miles when it pulled into my driveway...

Heads up for anyone in the Northeast region, Sunnyside Acura in NH sells at MSRP with no forced add-ons. They're getting roughly a dozen Type S in the coming weeks and had about 11 people on their wait-list as of 2 weeks ago. A great, enthusiast-friendly dealer and the local back-roads there...

Same, I'm waiting on Acuity also. I love the silky smooth factory shifts but I'm also looking for a more mechanical, notchy feeling too. I'm interested in the Hybrid Racing one but I want to see them compared.

Thanks for the lead! I had a little art project planned but would prefer someone with more skill and resources than me to take it on.

This is one of the hardest colors to accurately capture on camera. It's so vibrant it throws off the sensors!

Gloss black ("berlina black") mirror caps. I've been contemplating a black roof wrap also but I'm really digging Apex Blue Pearl more and more every day. It would be a crime to cover it up!

I haven't had any grinds, however I need to disclose that I have over 15 years of daily driving xperience with Honda manual transmissions. My initial experience with Honda 2nd gear grind has taught [read "scarred"] me early on that they do NOT like aggressive 1->2 shifts. You can be quick but...

I'll admit it was a bit of a gamble but I cross referenced the gloss back and factory badges with the MDX and RDX a few times. Then I had to go out to measure to make sure. The rear "A" from the MDX was too big but the RDX measures the same as our Integra. Whether or not they fit is yet to be...

Yes, the "Type S" badge is from the 2022 MDX and the "A" logo is from the 2020 RDX.

I had this happen the first few starts also. Mine was a relatively simple fix. When starting up, I needed to hold the clutch in longer than I usually would on my other cars. I chalked it up to one of the quirks of the car. I noticed it wants to finish up the whole startup sequence; gauge...

Did you have to take the bumper off for the front badge?

I'm going in for tint and PPF Wednesday, I expect to have the car back Friday with the new badges installed. Will definitely take pictures when I get it back!

Not as crazy as what you guys are up to but my new parts came in. I went with the "dark chrome" badges because I felt the gloss black hides the details too much. Come to find out the "dark chrome" is really just a smoked clear coat over the original chrome badges. Which I didn't mind but I was...

Posting just to keep the ABP chain going. I'm at 950 miles and have hit post break-in. I'm just going to follow the recommended schedule and bring it in at 15% oil life. I'll periodically check the oil level and color as I get closer to that point and change the oil beforehand if I'm not...

Drive it until the earth reclaims it. All of us owners above the rust belt will have to accept this inevitability. It's bittersweet and I don't look forward to that day but I've already come to terms with it. Lets just all agree not to broach this painful topic again and enjoy these cars today.

All I really could do was push the shield back without trying to bend it (it has some springiness to it) in hopes of dislodging the pebble. The ones that get caught in the lower half just come right out as gravity does its thing. The ones that get caught in upper half just sink deeper towards...

Just wanted to throw my hat in the ring. 4 days and 600 miles later, I've had 4 separate occasions where a pebble got lodged between the shield and rotor I've resorted to carrying a tub o towels in the car to wipe the brake dust off my hands.

An answer for a question that was never asked; the range readout doesn't take into account the entire tank capacity. 10.8 gallons from "empty" and 6 miles of remaining range.
