Sorry to rehash this but the factory alarm and OBD system simply is what it is. A budget solution the factory puts in to deter the most basic thiefs but to those who understand these systems, the vulnerabilities are there. It really comes down to how much interference you want to run every time...

Designed this way. Many of the international versions of the CTR don't get the subwoofer so this fills that gap in. Any of the markets that get the subwoofer just need to take an exacto or box cutter and cut it. Flip the tray upside down and get a cutting board, find the midpoint or how much you...

After getting my car getting Xpel PPFed I found out the only way to maintain the warranty is if you only use Xpel coatings... This kind of thing turned me off for recommending the company if there's other options available. Item #13 https://www.xpel.com/warranty-information

Even just looking at the CTR, look at the allocation map. You're beginning to see 2 cars at the same dealership in the major metro areas. It's just a decision of how long they want to fill the floor with CTR's, a car 90% of the public have no interest in buying (cost and manual), over a CRV or...

Remember, ALL cars are slowing down in sales and production is only increasing. At some point the dealers will need to begin flipping cars for parking lot spaces. They can sit on cars until their lot fills which, at least in my area, is start to become a real consideration for the dealerships...

Good to see the kit isn't using generic hardware. Thanks for the clarification. Any plans to release a set with matching black hardware?

FL5 wing screws are M6x1.0 thread. There's a lot of places to source these kind of screws, the center pin torx style isn't some specific keyed pattern though, just a torx head with a center machined out unless I'm mistaken and these are actual numbered and unique keyways.

It's more a difference in parts being bedded in and the types of brake compounds being used. As the aftermarket is entirely opposite bedding in process. OEM is more geared toward new cars where ALL the parts within the braking system is bedding together. Everything from the MC down to the...

As others have said, there's no perfect tire pressure. There's always tradeoffs and static load is only one of the considerations. Without testing on specific tires in specific sizes the construction can be entirely different with different characteristics. Plugging everything into an online...

While I haven't dug around up in the headliner yet, you can power the V1 off basically any 12v power source. It's just the conversion from the dome light to the RJ wire and a grounding bolt and I assume there's enough space up there since lower model Civics and the Integra come with the...

Considering the range of the adjustable dampers on the FL5 you really have to go overboard to overload them from a shock dyno standpoint. Spoon is more of a hands on testing type of R&D company, most of their development (though shock dyno is easy) is done through practical testing. No...

Search through this post you'll see a bunch of individuals thinking only a tiny number will make to to the US. Bunch of panic about how limited FL5 production will be relative to FK8. Even if the numbers only continue and not increase (as the reports indicate) it's right in line or higher than...

Check whatever source you wish to use (Cox, BlackBook, youtube car market folk, quarterly reports for Carvana/Carmax or whatever) and you'll see we're in kind of a weird market spot. There's dealers desperate to hold onto the high prices of 2022 as their lot inventory grows. Once these dealers...

Personally I don't agree with this depending upon your buying window. Credit is becoming harder to harder to find and banks are finally cutting off the faucet to ridiculous loans of 7 year, $1k+ monthlies to cut off the YOLO gang. Add on it appears Honda will be able to supply more to the US...

Go to any FL5 car locator. Actually look at the VIN #'s. You'll notice every color has its own VIN series. The total cars aren't directly related to the specific VIN numbers unless you want to go look for the highest ones of every color and add them up. Honda's production abilities and...

An easy check is datatrac.net then double checking whatever it spits out. Atlanta area shows a bunch well below 4.5% if not into the 3.x% range.

What's interesting is they don't appear to of modified the car much beyond what you can get from the factory. Cup 2 Connects and not Cup 2R or something, looks like the factory wheels and not the optional forged, no cage at least seen for the A pillar, kept infotainment (though video speed...

That's a heck of a lot of assumptions you have there, most of them in your favor. Not usually a good recipe for security decisions. These videos are from modern systems, you can look up newer videos of the newest cars if you want. The security system isn't anywhere near as complicated as you're...

This is the dealer being the dealer. There's obviously no problem with any product they sell and no known vulnerabilities. Evidence to the contrary - If you need to see just how easy it is and why you SHOULD disable the proximity unlock on your doors at a minimum and place your keys in a...

You're not going to get much positive feedback for systems the dealer themselves don't install from the dealer. Quick notes: Factory Alarm: Look at the videos on YT about how thieves defeat factory alarms to drive off with the car. The factory alarm isn't deterring whole car theft and actually...
