  1. Eibach Pro Kit and/or Sportline Experiences

    Your car looks great with the 1ā€ drop. How has it affected drivability? I would love to lower the car slightly + install a front splitter, but I do scrape on certain angles at stock height even. Any issues thus far?
  2. If you had to restart, what would you do differently?

    Congratulations on the car! Yes, I picked mine up the week after Christmas and have had it to a tire shop for all seasons and to someone for ppf. I took it to Vortext Detail. He did a pretty good job all in all and was very fairly priced. Now about 2 weeks from ppf and window tint, the only...
  3. Mileage check-in.

    I didnā€™t mean to hijack this thread šŸ«£ Yes, Insurance was fair. Needless to say, it was fun to rack up the miles and I am glad to see others doing the same!
  4. Mileage check-in.

    That 154 badge may or may not have fallen off and I may or may not have managed to keep it. 14xxx is not as cool, but thankful to be in another car.
  5. Mileage check-in.

    December 21, 2022 -> December 14, 2023 I had 26,500 miles. Someone hit me, totaled the car, and now I am at 480 miles on a new one.
  6. New 2023 Type R owner here with a few questions.

    If I had to guess, they mostly happen in construction zones. There are quite a few construction zones on the highway around where I live. I had 2 dings in the windshield from those areas despite not driving closely behind other vehicles.
  7. TRI State PPF Recommendations

    Last time I was able to drive the car immediately. I think they left a day in-between in order yo take care of wi dow tint. I only had high impact areas quoted (front bumper, fenders, hood, headlight, splitter, mirrors, everything down the sides from bottom 1/4 door and below). That tends...
  8. TRI State PPF Recommendations

    I am in Ohio and just went through 3 quotes. I am only doing high impact areas (entire front, mirros, a pillars, sideskirt/rocker panels), but I did receive quotes for full install which is not worth it to me. The range seemed to be about $5500-7000 for full ppf. There was a 4th shop that...
  9. New 2023 Type R owner here with a few questions.

    I second this. Full front end was essential. I had the sides from about bottom 1/4 of the doors and down wrapped too. The only other thing that I would add onto that is the A-pillars. After 26500 miles, the only chips in the paint were on my A-pillars.
  10. Any recommended front seat covers for FL5 Type-R ?

    Settled - I will order a set. I am just looking for something easy to slide on and off the seats and maybe leave on for the normal daily commute to work. The seat covers that others have posted about that are a more tailored fit seem nice, but doesnā€™t make sense at the moment to spend that...
  11. Any recommended front seat covers for FL5 Type-R ?

    Has anyone purchased the Dream car covers and can vouch for them?
  12. If you had to restart, what would you do differently?

    Initial quote from insurance was barely enough to cover the new car. I am working on getting back the cost of the PPF at the moment. From what I understand so far, the person that hit me and ran did not have insurance so everything is though my insurance. Unlucky for the other person, her car...
  13. If you had to restart, what would you do differently?

    Are you in Columbus too? As for PPF, I went to Esoteric the first time out in New Albany in Ohio. I did the high impact areas which was the entire front end, mirror caps, bottom 1/4 of the doors and everything beneath on the sides. I think that package is the minimum that is nice. The next...
  14. If you had to restart, what would you do differently?

    That was definitely me! I hop off of the highway at Cleveland Ave in the morning. Small world!
  15. If you had to restart, what would you do differently?

    Solid recommendations. I have looked at the Hypersuede seat covers and they dk look nice. It appears that he does not have the FL5 covers for sale at the moment on ebay. Someone else recommended that screen protector to me also so it is added to the list of things to get. For the floor...
  16. If you had to restart, what would you do differently?

    Thanks for the input. I did get after it for the 51 weeks I owned the car! It was nice to at lease see how various things wore out and what I need to do better this time to prevent those items. Going over your recommendations: 1) I considered the OEM mats, but ended up with TuxMats. I must...
  17. If you had to restart, what would you do differently?

    Thanks for the recommendation. I will be sure to add that to the list.
  18. If you had to restart, what would you do differently?

    I picked up my FL5 (black) in December of 2022. After nearly 27,000 miles, I looked at a few elements and thought ā€˜I wish I had done a better job taking care of that.ā€™ If I started over, what are things that I would do differently? Unfortunately, I have to start over. 2 weeks ago someone hit...
  19. What color did you want vs what color you ended up with?

    If I was looking at OEM colors, Boost Blue and Championship White would have been my #1 choices. However, if I could have picked any paint color, it would have to be the Lexus ā€˜Atomic Silverā€™ color. I love a good silver with extra depth to the contrast. If I didnā€™t have PPF, I would have...
