  1. Dealer chipped wheel swapping out summer tires

    Update: -I ended up paying a 3rd party shop to powder coat my OEM wheels satin black. They're now scratch/chip free once again, more durable, and beautifully compliment the SGP paint. -I asked the dealer to refund the tire change service and provide a rental car while my wheels were being...
  2. Dealer chipped wheel swapping out summer tires

    Now that it's getting colder, it's time to swap out the summer tires for all seasons. To protect the low-profile OEM wheels, I went to the dealer because they have a touchless tire changer. When I pick up the car, my previously unblemished wheel now has a white chip just outside the red rim...
  3. Is anyone sporting Oedro-brand floor mats in their Type R's?

    Husky liners and size 13 US men's shoe here. Fit and finish is great, with more dead pedal coverage than WeatherTech. My wife's Subie also has Husky liners. I'm now a happy repeat customer.
  4. Shout Out to Great Members

    I wanted to recognize two awesome CivicX members for their contributions to the Type R forum, @tinyman392 and @Rottboy . I picked up a 2020 SGP CTR last May. After a decade hiatus in automatics, I love being back in such a spirited manual. The car has been everything I wanted and more. On...
  5. Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

    I definitely see your point. I did full PPF on my CTR to the tune of $3,900 (roughly 10% of the total cost of the car), and it's impossible to justify from a numbers standpoint. But... I love seeing flawless paint every time I wash the car. I don't worry when I hear little rock chips while...
  6. PPF Issues... Am I crazy?

    I had a similar experience to a lesser extent. About a month after getting the whole car filmed, I discovered a few tiny smudges that wouldn't wash off. Turns out they were under the PPF. I took it back to the shop and they were super apologetic, re-filmed those sections no questions asked. A...
  7. Rattle Near Left Ear

    Update: I realized the driver door plastic trim piece just below window was not fully pushed/clipped in. I pressed gently and the rattle disappeared.
  8. Rattle Near Left Ear

    I hear a rattle near my left ear only intermittently, usually when playing music with strong bass. What did the dealer say was the cause?
  9. PPF - Yay or Nay?

    I initially planned to PPF the front half (full hood, front bumper and fenders, mirrors, A pillars) plus rocker panels, door cups, trunk ledge. Quote was $1,500 for PPF plus another $1,000 to ceramic coat the whole car. Purely for added peace of mind, I decided to PPF the whole car instead for...
  10. Do we have any Legal ground to stand on against the dealerships in the US on mark up?

    What did you get in trade in for the 2017 CTR? Mileage/condition?
  11. Any 2020 Civic Type R arrived at dealerships?

    There's definitely a delay to Honda Inventory status. My car was still listed on there as as "in transit" ~48h after I took it home.
  12. Any 2020 Civic Type R arrived at dealerships?

    My car was also sitting at the Baltimore lot for about a month before my dealer GM "got the car released from Honda " Not sure how much of that was actually within the dealer's control. After it was released, it took two days to make the ~500 mi trip to me.
  13. Any 2020 Civic Type R arrived at dealerships?

    Mine arrived Thursday evening and I accepted delivery yesterday afternoon.
