Update to thread:
I received the Acuity adjustable shifter on Friday, got it installed on Saturday, and took the car out for a drive on Sunday.
I'll say this, the CTR was perfectly fine in stock form. However, the Acuity shifter makes a noticeable difference. I'm not going to do a full in-depth...
Welcome to the club! Similar story and location as you, except I got into cars with a 90 Integra back in the day. Blew the transmission on it, so like any rational person would do, I built it from the ground up (full suspension, fully built motor and turbo'd).
Just installed my illuminated door handle and pocket lights. Ordered these from Black Hawk Japan a little while back , they were on a slight back order. I got them this past Thursday so I had to get em in this weekend! Part number for reference 08E20-T43-002B
Just got done installing the illuminated door handles and pockets, that was time consuming.. š well, I hit a snag on the passenger doors grommet harness. For the life of me I couldnāt get it to click, but realized that I never really pulled the accessory wire tight and it mustāve been pinched...
Nice @Chilly613 ! I'm interested in hearing how you make out on this one, it's on my list to order along with the paddle lights (which may be a stretch for me).
So far, I've installed the auto-dimming mirror, the illuminated door sills, and the illuminated cup & console lights. BHJ is in the...
Installed my Alcantara steering wheel, OEM JDM Alcantara shift boot and JDM cup holder and console lights. Acuity shifter on order, thatāll be next sometime in early/mid July.
Thanks all for the feedback! Iām loosely joking/serious when I say OEM plus. I just want tasteful and high quality parts that donāt take away from how amazing this car is. Iāve been into Hondas since the late 90ās/early 00ās and have obviously learned through making mistakes. Love the engagement...
I've placed a few orders from Black Hawk Japanās eBay store, and the process was simple with no tariffs at all.
Iāve also ordered directly from their website, and as others have mentioned, most items were hit with about a 15% tariff.
There were a couple of exceptions, my Spoon lug nuts were...
Youāve pushed me over the edge! š
Wild this wasnāt on my radar until I see everyone say itās amazing. Iām gonna pull the trigger on it then. Youāre right, should I not be happy with it, I can easily put it back to stock.
I appreciate your feedback!!
Good point! I just started to look it up and I guess the consensus is itās much more expensive just for the HRC sticker/engraving. Maybe Iāll just go Acuity then.
Itās comments like these that make me question that I need it! 𤣠itās my FOMO thatās kicking in!!
I may look into the HRC version and wait then, weāll see š
So when I purchased my car back in December, I wanted to be sure to keep it stock. BUT, one thing leads to another. Iāve been trying to do tasteful mods to keep it more OEM plus. The question is, would upgrading the shifter to an Acuity shifter still qualify as OEM plus if itās hidden under all...
Such an impressive build, I actually went through all of these pages last night admiring all the work and parts that have gone into this. Kudos to you @nojeebs!!
Also my catās name is Geebs, pronounced Jeebs. š
