  1. Deposit placed, advice please

    100% this right here! I would take your car to CarMax, or like I mentioned before the Kelly Blue Book Instant Cash offer to see where that lands. It make negotiating a little more difficult with the trade in, but still possible. Look elsewhere and do not go back to that dealer.
  2. New Jersey SOLD

    Thanks! That's just a bit far from me... This wasn't anything on my list, but I thought if you were close enough I would scoop it up. Free bump though.
  3. New Jersey SOLD

    Just curious, where about in NJ are you located? North, Central, South NJ?
  4. FL5 CTR joins EBP EM1 and E90 M3

    Same, I bought my FL5 without ever driving it. I had assumed in December that 2025 may be the last year for them and I always wanted an R. I called around, same as you, and bought one at MSRP. Congrats and you'll absolutely love the drive home in it! BTW, I'm loving the lift in your garage!!!

    If you want some motivation to negotiate, watch this masterclass of car negotiation…. So good!
  6. Deposit placed, advice please

    I would still look for an MSRP deal... you can purchase new wheel for $300 and the type R sills for $250 and do them yourself. Just curious, have you gone to Kelly Blue Book to "Instant Cash Offer"? I would see what dealer, through KBB, would give you the most for buying your SI from you. The...

    Personally, I would call around to multiple dealers to negotiate an MSRP deal. At the price point you're looking at, it would be better peace of mind. I bought my Type R at MSRP back in December after calling around. I didn't NEED the car, so I think that helped me in my negotiating. I had bad...
  8. California Type R FL5 OEM Steering Wheel

    Dang, that's a steal of deal!!! I need to get me an Alcantara wheel first, otherwise I would jump on this to have as an extra wheel around. Best of luck with sale.
  9. Spoon Sports Front Stiff Plate

    I've ordered the Spoon Springs and Spoon RSB so far. I'm about to place my order for the Spoon Stiff Plate and Rigid Collars, and may now consider the FSB. Do you mind me asking @jj33low what setting you have your FSB set to? Have you experienced any difference in under/oversteer vs. stock? I...
  10. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Went to the exhaust shop near me this morning, had them remove the front resonator. I did the ā€œvalve openā€ mod just before going. Wow, this is how the car should’ve sounded outta the gate. It’s not loud my any means but has a deeper growl. Glad I did it!! Just as preventative measures, I did buy...
  11. R Tard's 2025 CW Build Journal

    @R Tard The pics of your car with the city and bridge in the background is awesome! I love the wheel and tire combo! What tires/specs are you running on the TE's and was there any rubbing? I was just curious if that was the reason for the Varis Flares.
  12. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄ System Motorsports || Volk + Gramlights + Advan + BBS In-Stock sale!

    @System Motorsports DM me on price for Bronze engraved 18x10 +40 please. Also, let me know what tariffs would look like too.
  13. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Thanks @Chilly613 ! BTW, love your build so far. I sure hope you’re wrong though šŸ˜‚ otherwise I should’ve purchased direct through Black Hawk Japan because initial pricing is much cheaper. This is a screen shot of their listing for the Spoon springs, all their listings on their eBay store share...
  14. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    Just received delivery of my new key chains that I ordered off of Etsy. I think they turned out good. Also, just placed an order for Spoon Springs and Spoon Rear Sway Bar from Black Hawk Japan’s eBay store. I didn’t want to deal with the tariffs by ordering directly from their site. Although...
  15. The Wait is OVER: SUMA Mirrors are officially BACK! ⚔

    Thanks for the super fast shipping, @Suma Performance ! I just received and installed them, they look great. I can't wait to drive the car to see what kind of difference it makes.

  18. The Wait is OVER: SUMA Mirrors are officially BACK! ⚔

    By chance, any discount codes available? I tried phothrottle but it doesn’t work.
  19. What did you do to your FL5 today?

    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...
  20. What did you do to your FL5 today?

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