Rich mf buying from JHPUSA instead of Blackhawk Japan. lol
What?! It would’ve been cheaper on black hawk?!?
New to the forum. I just bought a 2026 Integra A Spec with Tech in May. So far I have added the Apec mats, the factory splash guards and new wheels and tires. I have the gloss black front and rear Acura emblems on order and the PRL HIV Intake. The wheels are Borbet Type W's with Kuhmo Ecsta Sport A/S tires.

Really liking it so far. I took it up to the mountains and it was a blast to drive up there. Haven't thought about exhaust yet.

Yeah, when I complained about rattles to acura they argued with me, gaslighted me, and ultimately claimed they couldn't find them. Even the very audible/tactile steering wheel click that I diagnosed and solved myself they claimed they didn't notice. I took them on a drive and the service manager acknowledged it, but they still couldn't find it. I could deal with this, but I can't deal with them overlooking deep brown brake fluid on a brand new car 😑.

Meanwhile I complained about a light hatch rattle in the X7 and before I left the dealer one tech was in the hatch and another driving going in search of poor roads. They even took the kid's carseats out and put them back in CORRECTLY without me asking.
I complained about rattles on mine, the service advisor questioned me for an hour, then I took the tech out for a drive.

Then they called me at the end of the day to tell me that it's because of my Borla exhaust and that the excess vibrations are causing the rattle.

F*cking waste of time. Soured me a bit on Acura after that to be honest.

I finally finished installing the rear A/C vent with USB-C charging ports! It turned into a much longer project than I expected.

I initially tried using the Mikstore parts, but they just didn't fit as tightly as I wanted. In the end, I decided to order the genuine parts from Japan. They weren't cheap, especially after international shipping, and then UPS surprised me with an additional tariff fee once the parts arrived in the U.S.

It was definitely more expensive than I had planned, but I'm happy with how it turned out. The factory parts fit much better, and the USB ports even light up when the headlights are on. The finished installation was worth the extra time and effort.

Edit:
I am getting requests for the part number, so I am adding this write-up.

At first, I ordered everything I could from my local Honda dealer and then tried sourcing the remaining parts from a few different online retailers. That ended up being a waste of time. I'd place an order, not hear anything for several days, then have to call and find out the part was on backorder.

Save yourself the headache and just order the remaining parts from JDM Yamato jdmyamato.com. They'll also let you know if a part is on backorder, but the difference is they email you the same day, ask if you'd like to keep the order open, and give you an estimated restock date. The communication was much better than the other places I tried.

You may be able to get away with using the Mikstore versions of these parts (83406-TVA-A01ZA and 83453-T24-T01), but after dealing with all the delays and trying to save a few dollars, I was ready for the project to be over, so I just ordered all three from parts JDM Yamato.

Parts from JDM Yamato
  • 83451-T24-T01ZA – Rear housing — $24.96
  • 83406-TVA-A01ZA – Rear vent outlet — $63.10
  • 83453-T24-T01 – Duct assembly — $16.70

Parts from a local Honda dealer
  • 83419-T24-T00 – Console bracket — $9.57
  • 83433-T43-J31ZA – Console box — $80.75
  • 83470-T43-J31 – Console mat — $11.70
  • 90140-TR0-A01 – Bolt washer (Qty. 2) — $0.65 each ($1.30 total)

That is precisely why I had them document rattles with the stock exhaust and told them not to touch a few of them.

My service experience with acura has been awful. In the last instance they replaced one tire, scratched up the wheel because they used a screwdriver to rip off the wheel weights, scratched up the rim in other areas with the tire machine, and also put the wrong color of wheel weight on (silver, not factory black). When I called them out on it, the response was "oh you have the wheel insurance so we can just get it fixed with our alloy guy".... Uhm, no sir that insurance I paid for and it has limits on yearly use, you will be fixing it with your own out of pocket because you damaged it. They then argued with me that a car in their possession is not their responsibility if something gets damaged. I think steam literally came out of my ears as I told them to go get the sales manager, the gm, and the service manager before I file a police report. Oh, they scrambled... How they scrambled...

That was also before I got the car home and discovered they scraped the bottom of the bumper and tore up the ppf on the black canard trim and scratched it down to plastic.

Never going back. They can shove their free oil changes where the sun don't shine. The most they'll get out of me is a loose wheel for alloy wheel repair from someone else or a full tire replacement when it gets a nail. And even that isn't so worth it 😑

Jesus.

I would’ve had a ptsd moment. Blacked out. Came back and blood all over the place…. Holy crap

when I go to the va hospital. I have to be escorted by federal va cops due to me being a danger to myself and others. Allegedly. I dunno, I feel like the “danger” that I allegedly put that dentist in a few years ago was blown out of proportion 😂

I bought one of the lever squeeze style rivnut tools years ago for about 20$ and it has worked okay. Looking back, it would have just been smarter to drop the cash on a 100$ air powered one. They're much cleaner, faster, and less likely to leave you with a slightly loose rivnut or broken threaded tip.

I ended up using it so much more often than I anticipated. The fancy astro pneumatic one is nice and worth the money, but the harbor freight one does just fine too.

Unfortunate. I had no problem with the rivnuts they gave. I used a cheap hand-rivet insertion tool from Amazon, worked completely fine.

This was what wrangler dude said. U should’ve used a Mickey Mouse tool instead of that expensive one.

that tool is meant for high quality rivnuts. Not cheap casted ones. What U think you got a German car all of a sudden?
