1. Took me a min to look for homelink, shocking to see it’s not included when a 2018 Honda has it. What’s the go to solution so far? Any Honda rear view mirror that looks just like stock but come with homelink?

2. I like the OEM CF wings wondering if anyone uses locking screws such as https://www.twostepperformance.com/products/tsp-fl5-spoiler-security-locking-screw-kit
Is there a black out version out there to match the OEM look?

3. The R+ exhaust note is so quiet, any JDM aftermarket recommendations? I had Fujitsubo and loved it but it sounds so quiet on the FL5

Black wing lock screws are in production. We hope to have them ready within the next month or so.

I bought some M6 security screws in black and paired them with a black washer to accomplish basically the same thing at a fraction of the cost (~ $10 USD)... no offense to Two Step, but $50 for screws is ridiculous.
Can you post exactly what you purchased, from where, and counts?

Sure, easiest thing to do is buy one of these anti-theft license plate packs on Amazon. I only used one security and left 2 of the OEM screws per side. You'll want to pair the new screw with an appropriate sized washer so it's similar width as the OEM screw, I had some lying around so no link to provide, but should be easy to find at any hardware store.

I'll note you can find these M6x20mm security screws at a number of the fastener companies but they usually need to be purchased in bulk (packs of 25).
