First world problems I guess...Yes, replacement tires on the CTR are expensive but not nearly as much as 35x13.50R24 truck tires. Fury Country Hunter (first PIC and tires suck) or Fuel Gripper MT (second PIC and tires are much better) mounted, balanced and installed on an F-150 will be North of $2K on all four corners.

The CTR fills a different want and purpose. Different fun factor and cheap to maintain in the grand scheme of things. Buy the best CTR tire that suits your driving habits and enjoy.

Not sure how this is going to look yet with my Yellow Valve cover. Just finished putting the turbo back together. Darn C clamp was really in there. Also did the T51R mod on it.

This guy on eBay sells various pieces https://ebay.us/m/Yauwkp , he takes those cheap fake carbon pieces and adds/glues the Alcantara over them . We’ll see how they hold up but I am happy so far. In my type s I went with real carbon for those pieces but wanted to try this out first as they were so cheap .

Where did you get the matte carbon door and shifter trim and do they match exactly? Looks good!

Picked up a hitchhiker I guess.
watch out, rodent chew on electrical wiring insulation and can cause a lot of damage.

note that Honda (and most other) manufacturers switched to soy based insulation, but it is not true that rodents prefer the soy based insulation, they will chew through any insulation...

I have found rodent dropping in the car we parked outside, and added peppermint oil as a deterrent.

Honda makes a anti-rodent tape:
