What did you do to your Integra Type S today? 🙋🏻‍♂️

No pics, it's pretty hot in my garage so I try to finish asap.

Biggest tips:
- Have a tiny screwdriver if you want to take off the side pieces. There are screws that mount it to the wireless charging pad.
- Have a tiny ratchet (the bolts for the normal bushings are 10mm, but the clearance is very tight on the lower bushings).
- You'll need to use both hands to hold the bottom of the bushings in, but catch it overall with the new bolts.

Taking the sides (taking off the entire side requires removing the center console completely) off should potentially allow you to tighten the lower bushings easier, but I used my fingers to thread the bolt most of the way. I had a small Allen wrench to tighten in the end.

Lastly, remove the cup holders! It's easier to grab something if it falls like that. I think the shifter cable should be able to be pulled out of its slot to make it easier to screw in/off the driver lower bushings, but I just dealt with it.

Thanks a ton for the tips! I hate taking interior stuff off. ?

It's not too bad! I didn't bother trying to take off the side pieces because of the screws, and I didn't have a tiny ratchet so that made it worse. Everything that you'll need to take off for access is just clips.

Swapped out the arm rest for a Type R armrest.

This is next on my list, can you tell us where you ordered it from? I just installed the Alcantara wheel which should compliment this well. FYI, anybody doing changing out the steering wheel, having an impact wrench and 10mm socket is must (or channel your inner Popeye and eat tons of spinanch)

How long did the Alcantara wheel take you? I’m tempted to ask the dealer what they’d charge. I can see what Acura says it should take, so I’m really curious how much they’d try to upcharge me.

It's real easy, if i had to do it again, not even 10-15 minutes to take off and on. It is scary how easy it is to pop off the airbags (thats if people still steal them).

AHC video makes it look easier but once you get the wheel off (thats held on by the one nut that requires a 10mm Allen to take off) its just 3 simple screws.. pop off and on the trim and transfer the wires over exactly it was and reinstall same way it was taken off. The airbag literally clips back in place and voila. Just make sure you disconnect the batter with a 10mm socket before doin this and that it...really easy if you have an impact wrench. I tried with just a socket tool and good ole elbow grease with no luck. I had to use my Milwaukee M18 1/2 Mid Torque (650lbs) to get it off, my M12 3/8 impact (250lb) didn't have enough strength to get it off. Some people had success using heat

Got the splash guards on. I don’t know how I feel about them yet. Really do stick out in the front.

540 miles in and I finally went for a short night drive. The headlights are wild!

Installed a dash cam, Thinkware U3000. Couldn't take pics because my dogs had been whining for an hour and a half. I'll post some tomorrow.


Just as much of a PITA as it was on my A Spec ?

They dont really flow with the rest of the car but no mudguards do. I dont plan to PPF and its a daily so I will definitely get them.

I had a chance to drive mine home from Dallas where I bought it. ?. My family has a couple of places in Utopia and Vanderpool; fun roads to get out there. Thinking of getting out there for the Labor Day Holiday. Only problem is I’m sure my family will want to take the MDX Type S, not the ITS.

Smart family...MDX Type S Advance is a (Family) road trip king...jmho....

Added tints on tail lights. And replaced the oil cap with Spoon oil cap. I thought the Spoon oil cap complements the metallic Acura logo. Waiting for the Spoon radiator cap as well.
