What did you do to your FL5 today?

[Mrjustin81]

Got around to installing illuminated door sills since the weather was actually nice!

Looks good. What did that run you for the parts? After market or OEM?

 

[Agen2integra]

Thanks! Yeah just a little something to protect the door sills and light up a bit.

It’s an OEM part, part # 08E12-T60-100, which I paid $224.36 plus shipping. I wish I could tell you the shipping cost but I also purchased the OEM high wall floor mats, car cover and stem caps on same order, so it’ll be inflated. Super easy install for the most part, just the one plastic piece under the steering wheel was tough to get off.

Going to order the illuminated drink/console box and the door pocket/handle lights from Black Hawk next (among some other items too).

EVS front yellow Tow Hook installed. I also had to remove the AlphaRex headlights due to a manufacturing issue with them, passenger headlight occasionally kept staying on after the car was off. Also the cutoff was horrible and not straight. I think i’m just going to stick with the OEM ones. Sorry for the dirty car photo. Snow still melting so dirty water still getting kicked up from other cars.

Interesting anecdote on the Alpharex headlights. You're the third person I know of who has had an issue with their headlamps.

Yeah man, it sucks because I really like them, but the double cutoffs on each headlamp, the bad angel of the cuffoff and the passenger side headlamp staying on after the car is off really killed the mood for me. Down the line i might just do my own retrofit to my OEM lamps. Something like these two options. 1st- single 3” LED projector in the middle with a good Cutoff. Or 2nd- a full Mini LED setup retaining the OEM daytime LED strip on the top.

Keep us posted if you decide on a custom option. How did Alpharex handle this issue?

Customer service was on point, can’t complain there, they asked me what issues i was having, i showed them pictures and vids. of my concerns, few days later they emailed me and told me it warrants a return claim, Sent me a RMA return label.

How often do you ever get to hear your own car sounds lol. My boy wanted to record the HKS BOv and Infinity design intake & inlet pipe, and my custom OEM exhaust.

G'day all,

this is for all the Aussie members in here

got 20L of Bowden's own Orange Agent on eBay for $198.50 delivered (I'm a member) ....RRP $326

thought I'd give the wheels a clean and dead set they came out like in showroom condition

diluted it to 50/50 with hot tap water but will go 25/75 next time

it's PH neutral and you can clean the house (kitchen, laundry, bathroom and toilets) with it and it has a funky fanta like orange smell to it

will definitely buy another one

cheers

That first one looks similar to the Civic e:HEV Advanced trim that Europe gets. Would love to swap a set of these into a FL5.

The 2 FL5 I posted are in Malaysha. But they wont ship to the US, so i’ll have to do it myself and source all the parts i need to do the conversion.

I had Black PPF done on the roof, Red mirror caps, Type R logo in Japanese so far. Forgot to add the window vents from Billetworkz.

Mind if I ask were you got your Type R stickers in Japanese?
Looking good!

Did my first ever track day at Laguna Seca! I was running completely stock, except for PRL rigid collars and Project Mu brake pads. Got in 6 12-minute sessions, had zero overheating issues. Can't wait to go again.

Changed out the leather shift boot to the Billetworkz Alcantara shift boot. Pretty easy install, just takes forever to pull the staples out.

May have to switch to a shift knob with a wider base, but so far I'm digging the setup.
