Well Gents, my seats are finally completed. I wanted them to be a true “OEM+” so they’re fitted with the heating elements from the seating area all the way up the back.

The majority of the seats are a red Napa leather with the seating area being black alcantara. Both the Type-S and Recaro logos are “debossed” into the leather.

Next step is to situate the shipping from the UK to the US and purchasing the mounting / install hardware.

Those are the seats that should come with the car!

I completely agree…I should send my bill to Acura.

Looks like great progress! I'm excited to hear how the seat adventure goes. That's definitely something I wouldn't mind changing in the future.

I was considering the SiriMoto strut tower bar. How does the finish match the factory stuff under the hood? I haven't ordered it because I'm hesitant it may not match slightly, and it will bug me.

Minimal NVH with the rear engine mount? You may have just talked me into that, too.

The PRL rear mount is a must do mod. Minimal to no noticeable NVH at all and the benefits are immediately apparent.

The red anodized portions on the SiriMoto strut bar are slightly brighter than the red in the engine cover. The matte finish carbon portion of the strut bar is very nice. For the price, it’s a decent mod.

Thanks! The rear mount will probably be one of the next things I pick up.

I haven't ultimately decided that I want red to be the accent color I go with, so jury is still out on it. Lol

very jealous of those seats! I agree with the others, Acura should've put special seats in this car.

Rear gloss black emblem install completed…looks so much better.

How hard is it to change or pull off the rear emblem?

It's the easiest part of the whole emblem process. Peels right off after removing the "A".

They’re finally making their journey across the pond from the UK to the US. Hoping to have them sometime next week ??

The wife and I took part in a pretty cool car show this morning called “Cars Curing Kids.” Gave her an opportunity to show off her new 2025 M240i in Zandvoort Blue 🤌🤌

Just got her back from paint correction, full-front PPF, ceramic coating, ceramic tint and a clean install for her Uniden R7.

I’ll be dropping off the Recaros at a buddy’s shop for install. I’ve done a lot of installs this year on the Integra and just got a little lazy with the idea of installing the seats.

Also forgot to post the TSP downpipe install from a week or so ago. The OEM heat shield is still at the Powder-coater. Really liking the downpipe, intake and tune combo. Really opens up the Type-S….More to come.

Should be getting back the Type-S from the seat install in a day or two.

Next up, I have the following installs;

- Homelink rearview mirror install

- Reinstall my downpipe heat shield. I had it powder coated hi-temp semi-gloss black

- Hybrid Racing Shifter Base Bushing

- Hybrid Racing Competition Shifter Cable Bushings

- Hybrid Racing Heavy Duty Transmission Detent Springs

- - Downstar engine dress-up hardware

And the Recaro CS seats are finally installed. Definitely more rigid but also more snug and comfortable compared to the OEM seats. I need to pull out the stock seats from the trunk and I'll throw them on the scale.

Wow, those turned out great! How close is the color match in person? I hope to change the seats eventually, but this makes me want to do it sooner. Lol

color is a tad off but not horrible. I’ll be dealing with the rest of the interior soon.

The Recaros are more snug, firmer, lighter but also more comfortable too.
