GLWS - this is a steal..

I ran the AWE touring on my DE5 and loved the sound, but damn the rasp/rattle that everyone talked about drove me crazy. I never tried readjusting or refitting it but may consider going the same route on the FL5 and rolling the dice. If I do I'll probably do some spot welds to hold it in place...

Paid MSRP + TTL with little to no effort. Only called one dealership that morning and negotiated over the phone - picked it up that same night. I'd assume with some cross shopping and negotiations you could find one below msrp relatively easily in most areas.

You running 35 on 19s?

The orchid interior looks amazing - but in my experience, the edges where the black suede material touches the white leather on the seat turns blue.. I'm assuming due to color rubbing off.

These look so good. Highly considering these.

275/35 18x9.5 +40 (I think? or 38 but it's close). Lowered on H&R springs.

Can't go wrong! You could probably get a great deal. Any specific reason you want to switch?

It's crazy haha I didn't know that. Even more reason it should've been included!

I'm still on my first tank of gas but now I know.. lol.

Perfectly put. It's funny - having owned both platforms, and seeing all the online reviews and spec sheet readers online.. these cars are literally the same thing but different flavors for different folks/uses. I could interchangeably go from one to the other with no hesitation. I do miss the...

Yeah I'm not impressed with the current knob haha. Overland Design is pricey... but so worth it. https://overlanddesigns.com/collections/2012-2015-9th-gen-civic?srsltid=AfmBOooqP5kh7FmsdVVy0VM8JUqcW6M-MInDF09oUumtc4g3suk6Abrr

I'm okay with the suspension set up honestly. But I do plan on changing the shift knob to the one that's on the type s, and getting the overland designs alcantara center console (did the same swap on the integra).

One thing that's driving me crazy since switching - why did they put a USB-C port in the integra but not the civic..
