What did you do to your Type R today?

[sublimecat]

Installed OEM mirror housing turn signals with Mugen mirrors.

Here is a parts list. All are US based parts with exception of the top left; that is a UK based part. You can get that at Cox Motorparts. For the bottom middle part number, you need 4 since those are the screws to mount the LEDs to the housing. Cost of the OEM parts, about $210 shipped using Honda Parts Guys and Cox Motorparts.

I used a couple of write ups found in the DIY forum on how to disassemble the mirror assembly, and how to install the Mugen mirrors.

Very nice install, thx for details

Epic, I have an XS max with some thin and transparent case so it should fit because the case barely adds any girth to the phone. Cheers!

finally got the steering wheel and the a pillars done courtesy of sweidit. Also installed the black acuity shifter collar to go along with the seeker shift knob and the acuity short shifter. The red shift boot is from overland.

Definitely need to do the shifter wings to finish up the interior now. Might be a little too much red for some but i love it. Aiming for an "OEM+" interior.

Pulled off all the underplastics to do a thorough inspection. Have been smelling a strange engine smell but can’t determine where it’s coming from. No evidence of leaks anywhere. No sign of melted hoses either..

Pulled the front fender off as well to replace the stock intercooler with a Wagner.

First attempt at something like this...gotta love YouTube vids!

Tons of plastic clips came off. Several broke in the process. Will have to buy some replacements.

Getting these headlight clips loose was a little tricky.

All the stuff pulled off

The Wagner has an inner vane to direct the air evenly. Maybe all ICs have this feature dunno.

Wagner Intercooler vs Stock OEM. Originally ordered the HKS w/piping but after (3) months of waiting decided to switch to this instead. Price is about the same and people seem to be happy with Wagner on other platforms. It is important to note, the silver piping tips will sandwich the radiator once it’s installed. If contemplating an upgraded radiator, it may not be compatible with the Wagner if it is wider.

It comes with these silicone hoses and clamps

Also this inlet scoop that bolts to the front of the intercooler to capture a little extra air I guess.

Was a pain to install. Wouldn’t look forward to doing that again... but it’s in!

I decided to do blue.

Removed the red striping along the bottom of the car. Much cleaner now.

Applied some road warrior plus paint protection in preparation for a trip to North Ga from Tampa. It's kind of a matte finish and poorly applied but I secretly dig it. I'm thinking about getting a satin wrap. Either way, the front end is protected.

Nice. Did you apply with a brush or roller? Which size (8-oz, 16-oz) did you buy?

Hey mate - just a tip. Apply it SUPER THICK. Also - on your emblem. Good luck getting it off there - it's a nightmare. However, it gives amazing protection. Just remember, put on like 6 coats on EVERYTHING, or else is SUCKS to take off. Please mask off the seams, as well, because it will seep in there and is tough to take off.
