Gross incompetence! Did you document the seat's condition beforehand with photos? Always a good idea for any service. I'm sorry you have to endure the reconciliation, but it really needs to be brought to their attention. And when you receive the follow-up survey, be sure to provide ample...

Tried a new wax from Chemical Guys called Butter Wet Wax that was recommended by a friend who shows cars. I was dubious of his claims as it’s not very expensive and I’ve always used Pinnacle Sovereign, which is on the pricey side of Fort Knox. Have to admit though that the Butter Wet Wax did a...

Suggest returning it to installer ASAP.

Just in case - take a few pictures of the area around the seat and seat cover in front of the service advisor when you take it in. If something is scratched or stained during the repair, then it will be easier to reconcile later. Most have reported no problems, but a few have had some minor and...

Nice work!

Good points! If an addition adds a benefit then it would be a simple matter, and more convincing, to provide the data. Nothing against PiperCross, but some companies are pushing new products without the R&D to support their claims. Not trying to hype this company either, but 27WON just released...

Thanks, I saw that too, but verbal claims aren't evidence to me. I'd need to see some dyno results before dropping almost $500, but that's just me.

The Pipercross system is certainly interesting. I was intrigued initially and asked Dream Automotive for evidence about the claimed HP gains, but never received a reply. The Pipercross website states that no product is released until benchmark tests are conducted, yet no data are offered there...

Took my CTR in for the recall this morning at 0700. Followed recommendation to give Service Tech a gift card for dinner at “The Cheesecake Factory” given comments about them sometimes getting screwed on billable hours. The job took 2.4 hrs. It was the first such repair performed by the...

There are no USB ports in the rear of US models.

Appointment for tomorrow (May 2nd) at 0700. Will give details about time required etc. tomorrow.

Here' an example on an FK8, which would be identical to placement on the FL5.

Love The Trunk Monkey option, but my dealer wanted to add another $30K to the $50K ADM, require me to sign a PETA contract, and purchase a time-share agreement for a banana plantation in Greenland. It just seemed a bit sketchy so I opted out.

Don’t know your situation, but some have already had their recalled CTRs repaired (see Eric J Sebastian’s post on FB site “Official 2023+ Civic Type R Group”).

OEM rims are reportedly available on ebay. Some have minor blemishes for reasonable costs. College Hill Honda has new ones for sale. Last time I checked they were around $697! You can also get them at a local Honda dealership, which I did and had the next day, but the center cap took over a...

Just received call from my dealership’s service manager who informed me that three parts are required for the seat repair; two have arrived and the third is expected by Friday. Looks like early next week for the repair.

Received (after l-o-n-g wait) the Dream Automotive FL5 rear seat cover. Same excellent quality as the front covers. Seat backs fit perfectly, but the sear bottom is tricky - could have used a tip sheet, etc. as the best fitting I could manage was to partially remove the cushion and slide the...

Thanks, but don't we need the letter first?

Good job!

Received (from Madness Autoworks) the F1 filter, which replaced a K&N filter that I thought was a step above the OEM gauze and restrictive setup. The F1 is significantly better in terms of air flow and filtration based upon supplied specs, and is MUCH easier to clean. It’s fitment is far better...
