Awesome updates! Question about the visors. Any noticeable additional wind noise?

Lastly, I took a bunch of photos while the car was up
I believe this is the "signature" I was told was on there when I first bought the car, during the PDI

It'll be interesting to see how the after market companies include these for our Modes

Here is the tri-tip exhaust

Lots of panels to make it flat!

Front 4 piston Brembo's. Even after 100 miles on the track and another 2100 on the road, they are holding up well

Rear brakes. Still think they should have powder coated the entire caliper lol

Made in Slovakia

I haven't noticed any noise actually They are bigger from the inside too, lol They do a great job of also keeping the sun out

Awesome. I was worried about wind noise and it's what was holding me back from getting a set. Thank you!

Ok, so I have a few things to add to the car "I am not going to modify":

A set of Volk TE37 Saga's that are 18x9 +50 from Kamispeed in Florida. I've been assured that these will clear the brakes and that this spec is what Rays have determined are for the CTR.

Also ordered center caps:

And a set of Kics LeggDura Racing lugnuts (similar to the Rays DuraLugs that Kicks makes for them)

Last, but not least, were the tires:
I went with 255/40 Continental DWS'. I've used these tire's for years, in all sorts of conditions, and have been very happy.
Although I did not order them from Tire Rack, here is their link:

All of this should be installed next week. I'll have pics of the entire procedure...
I'm pretty excited!

Sick! I'm really looking forward to seeing what 18s look like on it.

Hey, have you got your windows tinted as yet? Apparently its a big deal to get the rear glass done, which includes disassembling almost the entire back end! On the simple hatch its a pain, so I was wondering about our huge spoiler.

I got my windows tinted with 35 all the way around including rear windshield and a strip on the front windshield on my CBP Type R and the shop had no issue at all and did not have to remove anything...and it looks amazing! Says it went on the exact same as a 2017 Civic Hatch. I can get some pictures later tonight or tomorrow and post them with the windows tinted for y'all

Now did they do a 2 piece? Or shrink it on the edges properly? If you do a quick search even on yoube, apparently, that is the proper way. Unless there is some trick most haven't figured out

It's interesting to me that you chose to put all season tires on the Volks. Why not put some sticky track tires on those and maybe put some all seasons on the stock wheels? I'm sure the 20" conti's would be easy to sell here.

So another update:
TE37's Saga installed today with Continental DWS'. The wheels are 18x9 +50, with Rays center caps and black Kics LeggDura Durilium lug nuts. I had the DWS' in 255/40...
Really happy with the results!

I'm actually using the OEM wheels and tires for track events. The volks are for everyday use. The cost for DWS' were $190 each, and for me to get them in 20" sizes were substantially more. I really love the Sprort6's for the track and hope to get a decent amount of use out them. I've already logged almost 3k miles, and it's only been a month
