You don't need to remove the grill trim. You can just have the plastic piece at the bottom still connected around the HVAC controls (shown below) and you'll just bend the plastic a bit. It'll be tight, but doable for sure. Wish I would've known before pulling it apart lol
Busy last weekend:
Pumped-in exhaust audio delete
Mugen shift knob & Acuity shift boot collar
PRL Stage 1 kit
Covered Footrest (don't mind the dirt)
& a track day
Track Details: MSR Houston. 17 turns. 2.4 miles.54-70 degF and sunny. 2 track days with Driver's Edge. 4 15-minute sessions/day. Event is called Driver's Edge.
Over the weekend, I took the FL5 for it's first track event. Zero mods - only a brake flush with Castrol SRF. Purposely did this to get...
Thanks for the info! Just installed mine last weekend:
Does anybody know where I could find more of this Honda cable foam (shown below)? I'd like to use it for my radar detector.
I installed the rear vent this past weekend.

I also had a problem with the alignment. I ended up shaving the tabs shown below for a better fit.
The only question I still have is: What are these plastic fasteners used for? Maybe the main air diverter? I couldn't find...

Owned an AP1 S2K, Prelude SH, RSX, and DC2 Integra in the past. Then took a hiatus of JDM to go USDM with a Gen V Viper. I had an itch to go add an S2K to the stable, but couldn't find the "right" one. Then recently added an R as a practical daily. I'm beyond happy with the combo.
Ever since my FL5 rolled off the lot, I've had a consistent buzz coming from the dash. The noise consistently started at a higher RPM. I referenced this youtube video: https://youtu.be/3ae8UQK3AWE and tightened the screw mentioned in the video. Didn't do much.

There's another thread where somebody installs an autodimming mirror and homelink...
I finally became an FL5 owner this month. R-04254 was picked up from Patty Peck Honda in Mississippi a couple weeks ago. The staff there was wonderful, and I had them leave all packaging intact so I could get the car detailed and PPF'd.
The car made its to Austin after a week-long hassle...
