Looks like we all made the right choice here…

Have u guys ever taken a look at the engine bay of a GRC? It uses such basic cooling that I thought it'd be fit for a camry, not a 300hp per cylinder hot hatch. Here's hoping the 2025 facelift has fixed it since they're overhauling the car with the AT.

Did the DIY fender mesh. Was pretty straight forward. Happy with the result

Is there a "how to" on doing DYI?

There was a YouTube video that I watched. And there’s a thread on this forum where someone shared a template. I slightly modified the template to be bigger so I could have it secured by both the pressure clips and the 2x screws. It’s very straight forward

Got my motor mount installed and oil change done at Surrey Honda yesterday, service manager ensured the car was taken care of and even asked me to take a look while they were installing it. Funny enough we had to start googling an install video with the tech lol. They made up for the bad experience last time imo.

The motor mount is exactly what I was looking for. The 27WON 90A race billet makes all my plastics rattle inside and makes my 200tw tires seem quiet in comparison but gives me much more feedback and engagement. Everything feels tighter together and the car is extremely planted through the same corners where I'd have experienced wheel hop prior. Perfect buy for my use case.

Bringing this back up from the dead, I think we need a list of "starter accessories" that owners recommend, outside of the performance mods some will eventually install.

When I first got mine I bought the following:

Viofo A229 Pro with hardwire kit
Screen Protector for Dash Infotainment
Center Console Organizer
Faraday Pouch
LASFIT Mats
LASFIT Amber/Rear/Trunk LED lights
Dog Hammock for rear seats
Automotive Grill inserts (used to custom make my rock guards)
"Made in Japan" Air Freshener

Definitely any sort of motor mount / transmission mount.

Just makes putting down the power SO much easier.

I'll add that to the list of mods over winter. She’s going into storage in a few weeks.
