What did you do to your Type R today?

[RepyT]

Red H you had to order though yah? Its the one off the rear of our cars if IM not mistaken.

Guys,
Both F & R badges are removable and with extra care, the dual prongs can be saved but most likely will break off & that’s OK.

Using 3M Outdoor DFT is plenty sticky to hold them in place probably longer than you’ll own the car. Mild heat and dental floss (unwaxed) or thin fishing line used like a saw to isolate the central pins works well for removal.

Try using a bit more heat mounting (no hotter than your free hand can stand) and press until cool assures good adhesion.

I’ve done this quite a few times successfully on various Hondas and I have no special skills. My custom (DIY) Ridgeline Type R badge is one example (OEM just silver silhouette) of trial and error success, along with CF upgrade of FK8.

If yours is chipped or cracked of course replace it with new but if in good shape, save your money for other mods, you got this!

Thanks for clearing that up dude, I have a 19 and read somewhere for the 20+ grill swap the front badge was larger on the older models than the 20+ Front badges, and that the rear badge from the older models was the was the right size to use in the swap (whew) that was confusing lol.

Installed the 20-21 grille and radiator on my '19 today

What's the part number(s) for the 20-21 grille install?

I lowered my car on Swift Springs. Had to trim the rear fenders to avoid rubbing. Got SPC Rear Camber Kit. Going to get alignment next week. 265/35/18 Michelin PS4S. Volks CE28 CR2 18x9.5" +38 offset. Love the new height on the car and the stance!

You may need to keep some neg camber to avoid rear fender rub. Some of my issues could be diff in tire profiles as arms and tires got changed together.

My experience with 255/35-19 9.5 ET41 w/new PS4S on Eibach Pro springs is that our same rear camber arms caused rub when loaded up on all 4.

Previously had no rub at -2.7 rear camber before arms added, they adjusted to -.17. It didn’t rub until loaded for vacay w/new Mich’s. Once back home front fenders we’re trimmed, adding -1 rear camber cleared rear fenders at -1.17 total. Be sure to try max load and hard corners before calling it GTG.

I appreciate your feedback! I'm going to see how the driving goes next few days before alignment. May do -2.0 camber all around with my current thoughts right now.

I had the day off today so I decided to change my transmission fluid. This is my second time changing it out and I have had no major issues using Honda fluid. Currently at 69K miles.

The 2020 uses the rear sized emblem in the front. The 2017 to 2019 emblem is too big to fit so you will need a new rear emblem for the front 2020 grill.

She got a wash today, sorry but the only thing good from the new R in my opinion is the seats.

Apparently this center seat split is a Richard Rack for the wood front seaters don’t get driving it. Some may consider this fold an alternative entertainment system.

Try Sonax for post activity cleanup? ‍

Note: This new Alcantara is now ribbed and ventilated for your pleasure. Contrary to popular belief, Alcantara origin isn’t exotic imported microsuede. It has to do with durability in that the material is difficult to rip/cut. Alcantara is a marketing adaptation of All-can’t-tear-yah (friction fiction).

I will be upgrading to brides soon, i will be selling my stock seats as well, I love our cars so much. Keep building upon what you have if you love it I say.
