USB C and auto dimming mirror. I know, we can use the accord mirror and harness, but I’d rather want something with 100% fitment to a FL5

I'll be going after those A/C controls for sure. A nice touch, that is quick and easy.

The front facia for better cooling. Hopefully it is just the insert and not the whole bumper.

Strix on instagram already sells the black knobs for our cars for a decent price. Just FYI

I had the same thought re: the bumper insert.

It seems though that the pre-refresh bumper (part 1) dictates the opening to the FMIC though, and with it now being larger to allow more air through (and squared off as opposed to this trapezoid opening), I don’t think the insert (part 10) will be enough.

I think the refreshed bumper might now be different.

WTB: 2027 Type R heated seats

 

[Jack90210]

I was happy to find that the Type R was performance-focused to the point where heated seats weren't an option, so I don't feel any need to swap comfort-oriented items. (Besides, I'd rather have a heated steering wheel than heated seats!)

It honestly doesn’t look like that much of a difference in terms of air flow so I’m not to worried about it.

The fact that Honda didn’t release the percentage of change probably means it’s negligible.

If you remember when Honda did the FK8 2020 refresh by opening up the grille… Honda gave a percentage of change since it was actually a significant amount.

I may consider the auto dimming mirror if it's straight plug-n-play (no extra wire running).

2023+ Canadian FL5's already have a auto dimming homelink mirror. You can swap it now. Will likely need to run a power cable.

I gotta hear the new horn first.

I'd like to finally remove the modern audience ovaries and reinstall the OE testicles.

I have the Accord mirror + harness and it works without issue(honestly installed it more for the garage opener and to mount my radar detector).

I'm curious to see what the PN will be, the one gripe I have with it is that the Accord mirror doesn't sit as tight

The front insert if it's possible would be fun to do, though I kinda like the current look.

If the auto dimming mirror has homelink, that too, and maybe the alcantara dash.

I might be in the minority, but I HATE heated seats, I feel like Im peeing myself whenever they turn on. NO THANK YOU.
