Look forward to hearing about that combo. I have the PRL FMIC and have been thinking about a base tune.
Installed the FMIC today. Not a fun job solo and under time constraints. For something that is technically easy (at least compared to doing this on say, the Focus ST), it was such a pain in the ass, made worse by my pig headedness. I did not jack the car up or put it on ramps. It’s doable if you’re flexible, but it is so tedious getting all those damn clips. And the worst part is putting the bumper back on. Would be much easier with a second set of hands.
Having said that, I didn’t break any clips nor did I scratch the bumper, not that it mattered because it needs to be repainted because someone scraped it in a parking lot. Now I have to change the calibration

Put on these carbonmyride mirror covers. While they don't match my APR parts they do match the carbon fiber interior trim that I got from them. What I like about their mirror covers is they are wrapped around OEM Honda Mirror covers. The quality is outstanding also.

Super easy. Just velcro that sticks to the fabric.
Like where did you get it from guys, sorry if I didn’t go back far enough if previously posted?

Nice find Volks, good finish even if not perfect match outside. At least yours fit well being on Honda covers.
That has to be better than the eBay ones I tried before going with progressive stripes on OEM covers. The imitation CF Ram look ones had a quarter size gap so when fit right inside edge, you looked like you brought your parking meter. Refunded, not even good for salsa bowls, maybe skeet clay pigeons someday?

Saying goodbye to the OEM inlet charge pipe....

Have been waiting a couple months for the Eventuri CF pipe and V2 Maf tube...

Successfully removed the OEM down pipe and front pipe without breaking any studs. Combination of heat and cooling worked like a champ. Will post a step by step in the near future. No broken bolts guaranteed ;)

Once this Dream Automotive high flow cat and RV6 front pipe are in, will finally be FBO and looking for a tune, possibly in November.

Thanks! Shopped around and with free shipping Bernardi is about best, good history with them, ordered.

Speaking of that, anyone want a never used Ridgeline (2017-2020) bed tent, LOL?
