I think the actual number of people buying this car at $15-$20k over MSRP is tiny. What dealers are asking for and what they're selling for are very different. A vast majority of those that have stood firm at $20k over in the face of sales opportunities still have their FL5 on the lot.
FYI to this thread.... went into Autozone today and these were 20% off, a promotion that was not advertised on their online store pricing. Installing tonight... whoooosh whooosh
I swapped blinkers and reverse light with lasfit bulbs, same bulbs I used in my 22 Si. Works fine except the bulbs are huge and because the connection isn't super tight, it will fall out with enough bumps or closings of the hatch. I just put a bit of electrical tape around the base of the bulb...
Yeah all good. I took it off on my Si and wasnāt too bad. I have some ideas I may go for with the emblems and I want to try and get the stock one off without busting it too.
The capabilities of the car make it feel too fast to be driving on 35-40mph streets. Sorry I guess I should have acknowledged it is actually slower than minivans and only a Civic.

If you are just calling around to different dealers asking, you're probably going to get those ridiculous answers. If youāre serious about buying walk in and throw down your offer. Some dealers may blow you off, but talk to their leadership, do the leg work, make it happen. Figure out what...
Nevermind, found your other post. Was thinking if Iām going to go for it Iāll do the JDM lighting stuff too. I saw those part numbers but if you could share the ones for the horns and also the upgraded footwell and seat lighting kit that would be amazing.
So the stock horn is dog shit as everyone knows and Iām really interested in upgrading it because, in my experience, Washington State has some of the worst drivers on earth.
I feel like the options are the following:
1) plug and play with something like the Accord units which Iāve seen some...
Iām approaching 1k miles now and have barely hit 5k rpm and it feels too fast for the streets.
Iāve had a ton of compliments too and it is really fun to just stand around and bullshit with people who have questions and comments. Theyāre as excited as I am and I get to be the lucky one to get...
The frustration is understandable, but if you put your anger and frustration into effort finding one at a reasonable and reputable dealer you could do it. Just takes some dedication. Iām a regular dude and while I didnāt pay MSRP I got $5k worth of accessories including the forged wheels with...
