Swahme's Build: 2023 MBP Acura Integra A-Spec on Tein Coilovers

[RUNN1N]

The yellow trim on the lip and side skirts looks GREAT! Especially nice with the color of the wheel locks. Did you get the Artwork rear diffuser too? If so, I'd love to see a picture.

Did Artwork add the color trim to those pieces, or were they a DIY? I assume they're vinyl, but correct me if I'm wrong. Regardless, great add.

4/1/2023 - OEM Gloss Black Emblems (+ A-Spec Emblem detele)

Not much to comment on this one, other than I got them installed at the dealership. Removing the A-Spec Emblems was very simple, they peel right off. What is fun to share is that it persuaded the miss's to "try" and black out her Subaru's emblems. It did not go so well.. Unfortunate that she still can't find black emblems for her new Legacy.

Hey, thank you for the kind words. I did not get the rear diffuser yet, I've been on the fence about it. A little aggressive for my taste, but it's been growing on me. Artwork did add the color trim, and yes it is vinyl.

4/14/2023 - TEIN Flex Z Coilovers

My first set of aftermarket coilovers have arrived. I'm excited to see how these end up feeling; hopefully we can bring the ride height down to eliminate any wheel gap on all corners. Camber kit is on its way, if all goes as planned then these should be installed early into the week.

I have a set of ADS cancel modules. You’ll need those to regain your Drive Modes. PM me if you’re interested.

4/17/2023 - Skunk2 Pro Camber Kit

The excitement is growing.. If my installer is available tomorrow, we'll be able to get the suspension dialed in.

Coilovers and camber kit have been installed. No issues using 10th gen Civic Si parts. Quick teaser from the installer.

I think his car is a normal A-Spec not the Tech so no ADS

2/22/2023 - Artworks Bodyshop Kit

Cannot say I have dealt with a more friendly and responsive team than Artworks. His help with dialing in this project exactly how I envisioned it respects a shoutout. I would gladly recommend this company's services, and I hope to see more from them. My installer tends to be judgmental, and he even appreciated the detail and quality of this product. Fit and finish with no complaints, and installation was straight forward.

Note: My installer commented that the length of bolts for the front splitter were just perfect, which required the lower shroud to be removed. He stated that if the bolts were slightly longer, it would have allowed for a quicker install.

hey, did it come with the yellow trim on it or did you add that on? I'm Thinking about getting this kit for mine.

5/1/2023 - KTunerFlash V2 - Phearable Stage 1.5R

This one has been fun. Uploading the tune was quick and relatively painless, considering the anxiety that comes with flashing a new car. Took it out for about 30 miles after finishing the flash process and ran into no issues. Hoping to get back on the road this evening and see how it performs under pressure. I went with Phearable considering the success/satisfaction others shared on the tune reliability thread.
