There is a thread here https://www.integraforums.com/forum/threads/spare-tire.50412/ and one on another board https://www.integratalk.com/threads/space-saver-spare-tire-kit.607/
As of April, the official kit from Acura/Honda was still backordered. No idea if it's in stock now. You could try ordering from http://dreamshop.honda.com/ - it's the "Temporary Wheel Kit (A-Spec)" under acura accessories (not parts) and it's $171.94. Doesn't include a tire so you'd have to get one mounted.
Value Spare and Modern Spare are the same company, just selling two different priced options. I didn't try that myself but others did and it sounds like the fitment is good, just a matter of where to stow the thing.
If you can get the Acura kit, that's probably the best way to go. It should be about the same price as the value spare (after the cost of the tire), plus it comes with the tray and other pieces that fit it level under the trunk floor. I bought the kit parts separately (some new, some from a junked 2022 civic). I paid more than the modern spare costs, but got a nicely fitting solution.

The first thread cited by Leehro is worth a read. One person bought the Modern Spare kit, did not like it and returned it. I bought a full size spare from Tire Rack and got a jack elsewhere, with my results starting in Post 54 (my result was ok, but could have been a little better if I found another tire that was slightly less wide). Others describe other approaches they have used.
