What did you do to your FL5 today?

[TheFactor]

A ride to the beach to watch part of the Air Show and a cold beverage. Stopped at a park on the way home. Loving my new tint !

Bit the bullet and added the JDM mirror caps, I was completely 50/50 on if I wanted to install. I actually LOVE them, apparently no one else likes them but I'm a big fan.

I like em. I’ve had a set sitting around and just haven’t gotten to it yet I was debating throwing the Mugen mirror caps over them

You weren't lying about installing them on your f/s thread, lol. They do look good.

Weekly motor detail

Had a few things get delivered today. Will hopefully get a chance to do something with my FL5 later this week to get some of these installed and hit up the shop for the Rigid Collars.

 

[getRIGHT]

that’s a solid selection of parts

Are those the Euro horns?

I want to do the horns too, but hate having to take apart the bumper for it

Which part of SoCal are you in? I'm looking for a good shop to work on my car if you have any good recommendations in the OC or south OC area? I have been out of the Honda scene for the last 20 years and don't know of any good Honda specialist at all Any recommendations would greatly be appreciated, especially those that are detail oriented like LHT

Yup, the Euro horns for the FL5. I had to honk my horn at someone the other day that cut me off and forgot how bad it sounded since I had the JDM Euro horns in my Sport Touring.

I'm in OC.

A lot of work I do myself, but I do recommended people to Antspec in Fountain Valley, that's where I go for suspension work, but they are a full service shop. They used to be Cobb Tuning's SoCal location. https://www.yelp.com/biz/antspec-fountain-valley

I also recommend Evasive Motorsports, besides being a parts retailer; they do service, installs, and race prep. https://www.evasivemotorsports.com/services/

AT230 in La Habra. https://www.at230carsandcoffee.com/auto-services

JSR Engines in Covina https://www.jsrengines.com/

I'm sure there are more, that's just off the top of my head.

Also check out RCraft in El Monte. They exclusively work on Type Rs.

Thank you! I may give Antspec a try in the future. My wife's S3 is on a Cobb Tune...so 2 birds/1 stone

No problem.

Also, with my Sport Touring, I never removed the bumper to replace the horns. I did it with the bumper on and just removed a bunch of the upper clips of the bumper and peeled back the fender liner for the lower horn.

I used this video for reference. I might hold off and install the horns whenever I upgrade my intercooler.

I bought a pair of Hella horns from Amazon when they were on sale in 2023 as I was just starting to shop for the FL5... ended up getting my FL5 in 2025, since I refused to pay any ADM (ended up paying $2K over)

I had the Hella in my 2007 FA5 Civic Si and loved them

https://www.amazon.com/HELLA-Protective-3AG-003-399-801/dp/B000CRZXPI

they are still sitting in my garage for the exact same reason. taking the bumper off by myself without any helper.

yet every time I have to use the horn I swear to myself that I'll install them the next weekend.

maybe next weekend...


as far as a shop in the LA area, RCraft was recently mentioned here (not sure which thread)

Thanks for the suggestion. RCraft looks like a great shop, but it's about an hour away from me if traffic is good...so not very practical.

"maybe next weekend..." sounds very much like me The video linked by @Chilly613 looked very promising though. So...maybe next weekend...
