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.
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.
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!!!
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...
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.
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...
Went to the exhaust shop near me this morning, had them remove the front resonator. I did the āvalve openā mod just before going. Wow, this is how the car shouldāve sounded outta the gate. Itās not loud my any means but has a deeper growl. Glad I did it!! Just as preventative measures, I did buy...
@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.
Thanks @Chilly613 ! BTW, love your build so far.
I sure hope youāre wrong though š otherwise I shouldāve 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...
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 Japanās eBay store. I didnāt want to deal with the tariffs by ordering directly from their site. Although...
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.
Thanks! Yeah just a little something to protect the door sills and light up a bit.
Itās 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...
