  1. Cross-Shopping FL5?

    I went from an FA5 (owned for nearly 14 yrs) to my FL5 in early 2023. The FL5 is a significantly larger car inside and out. It took me a little while to get used to it. Youā€™ll see what I mean when you get yours. Good luck with the search! šŸ™‚
  2. Florida FL5 Red Leather OEM Shift Knob for Sale

    Was confused by your title and thought Honda made a new/different shift knob I didnā€™t know about. The material is leather, not Alcantara.šŸ™‚
  3. Best place to purchase LHD EDM OEM headlights?

    @Clark_Kent has them on his car and I know heā€™s pretty good at finding OEM parts at good prices. Just be aware that it may take a little bit of legwork on your end, meaning, you may need to search different dealerships, email them, and compare quotes. Iā€™m not sure youā€™ll find a ā€œgo-to...
  4. The Jester Tuned Track Tune

    Haha! Hey, at least itā€™s still a relevant thread!šŸ˜„
  5. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    6-8 week delay is not really odd considering US governmental changes, holidays (including Lunar New Year), and bad weather all around the same time.
  6. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    They didnā€™t sell well, definitely not at first. But they became more popular especially once they stopped making them. Funny how that works. Good luck finding a limited Type-S version! Those are especially desirable. Honda built a badass car. It just wasnā€™t what Honda heads thought it would be...
  7. Colorado Innova’Tig titanium turbo inlet pipe

    Itā€™s there. Looks like a small indentation about the size of a thumb near the middle of the curved section of the pipe. Scroll thru the pics and you can see how the light reflects a little differently on it. Itā€™s especially visible on the last 2 pics.
  8. Did my tint installer melt the hatch trim or do they all look like this?

    Youā€™re sort of on track here regarding injection molding. Iā€™ll explain : The texture is less prominent where there is a steeper draft angle in the mold. This is to help release the part and prevent it from sticking (in the mold). The primary, esthetic, face of the panel will have the best...
  9. PPF longevity

    I can tell! Your work looks great! Most ceramic coatings need a periodic refresh. My Xpel ceramic just requires a spray that you wipe on. Itā€™s similar to a spray wax. Itā€™s super quick and easy. How often you refresh the ceramic depends on how much the car is exposed to the elements (of course)...
  10. PPF longevity

    With how skilled you appear to be with paint correction and polishing, you can probably ceramic coat the car yourself. I love it because it makes washing SO MUCH easier and faster. It really boils down to how much time you have and how much you enjoy washing your car. In my younger days I had a...
  11. Torque Specs for Aluminum Lug Nuts

    Agree with that. I understand aluminum is lighterā€¦but if youā€™re scrutinizing a few ounces per wheel while potentially sacrificing safety, it may be time to step back.
  12. Feedback on my Break-In Procedure

    Agree with @Clark_Kent. Just follow the guidance in the manual. Itā€™s rather vague because thereā€™s really no reason to be more specific about it. Simple as that!šŸ˜‰ Regarding oil temps : Mine hover in the low/mid 190ā€™s under normal conditions while driving (of course ambient temps will affect it a...
  13. FL5 Battery Type

    Yep. Same here. The longest my car sat last year was 3 weeksā€¦and it probably wouldnā€™t have even sat that long if there wasnā€™t salt on the roads. This winter is a different story, for sure.
  14. CARB certification in cali. RIP

    Yeah, I think the Dakotas are setup similarly. Iā€™m not sure if the liquor stores are state owned or owned by the municipalities, but itā€™s along those lines. Itā€™s definitely weird the first time you encounter it. Ohā€¦and CARB sucks. California is too expensive and has too many natural disasters...
  15. FL5 Battery Type

    6 weeks is a pretty long time to let a battery sit, especially in cold temps. It probably shortened its lifespan to some degree, but you have it on a charger now, so thatā€™s good. Depending on the age of the battery and ambient temps, Iā€™d put it on a charger if itā€™s going to sit for more than...
  16. FL5 Battery Type

    Yeah. Battery Tender is probably the most well-known and perhaps respected brand. I have the Battery Tender + (12V). Not the cheapest option, but it is durable and flexible (compatible with Lead Acid, AGM, and Gel batteries). Just plug it in. No switches or anything to second guess about. So far...
  17. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    No. Honda is the parent company of Acura. The ITS is only sold in North America. It is also built in the US. I point this out to say that, I think, where different models are sold has more to do with (not necessarily in this order) : 1. Where theyā€™re made (the specific plants). 2...
  18. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    Yeah, thatā€™s true! Good points. If a facelift were to happen, itā€™d be coming this summer (following historical patterns), in which case, yeah I agree that pics or clues of upcoming changes wouldā€™ve leaked by now.
  19. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    I meanā€¦those taking a hard stance one way or the other are already silly, right? Maybe some random people consider themselves upper management at Honda Corporate?šŸ¤£
  20. 2026 FL5 Speculation Thread

    Wet cementā€¦until we get official info from Honda Corporate. šŸ™‚
