Volksports,
It might be too late if you already put PPF on the back but here are a pair of Type R decals for dress up if not too flashy/tacky. As you know, that never stopped me. Cool that you make your own. Peeps want more on how you do it.

Thanks man Those look great but the picture you have has solid white letters and the link you sent has open letters. Will have to consider something of the sort though to match the front.

Installed my mirrors lastnight. Everything was pretty easy except the mirror cap was a mofo to remove.

It's nice that you guys on the 2020s were able to run the signal right off the mirror as opposed to us that had to run ours into the car and tap in there. Do you guys also have heated mirrors. If so, even more lucky. Was a pain for me when I had to source my defroster wire.

Yes it has heaters as well.

I haven't looked too closely at that front strut brace but do you know if it's adjustable? In the pics on their site the front struts are in the stock camber position. I did the "mod" to get a little negative camber and wondering if that strut would fit, or could be adjusted to fit.
I had the Ultra Racing front strut brace on my '19 Civic EX-L and loved that, but they were out of stock on the (different) one for the Type R, so I went with Perrin instead. I don't think it's adjustable?

Here's the mod I'm referring to -

So you can see why I ask if it's adjustable, the studs on the top of the struts are moved inward a little bit on each side

Finally got around to installing the SPC rear camber arms... sweet baby Jesus that single bolt located up near the fuel tank is a small nightmare to remove and reinstall. Takes patience... added a bit more rear camber to the vehicle but really did this due to Michigan roads causing a slight bend to the original passenger side camber arm. Even after an alignment I’ve noticed that the wheel is still not perfectly at 0... when at what is considered 0 position the car will still lead slightly to the right (yes I know this is expected slightly) just a bit more than it should.

also did Amsoil transmission fluid and oil (currently at 41k miles). Feel zero difference from stock fluids. Will gladly go back to Honda fluid next time around.

Volks,
Sorry, my bad on not being clear. I bought thresholds complete as one decal w/solid white Type letters (4 ea, front longer) off eBay but source gone now I think.

I grabbed the open letter ones just to give some idea of easy to find bling choices in case you felt no logo was boring.

I highly recommend this vendor. I just installed mine a couple days ago, and the quality is amazing. Very clean look. I got the carbon fiber with red "type R" and its looks amazing, kinda looks OEM tbh. Super easy like RepyT said, its all one piece so no need to center or align "Type R" text, its pre-added to the carbon fiber part.

Created CTR Horsepower Shrine just inside of house next to garage where I telework. This is where I pray to survive trips on the lone main highway aka Bloody 98.

Also ordered a charcoal Alcantara steering wheel cover that isn’t stitch on and let’s some red show. There’s nothing wrong with my OEM steering wheel that has control and bottom yoke CF added. Should give the model year 19.5 unique look I’m going for. I stitched a leather R style on my Ridgeline, patience and repeating patterns skills required, not for this D-Type slip on though.

UPDATE - I also disconnected the active sound module in the glovebox area. I hate that simulated sound.
Noobie here, I've heard passing mention to this before, but I'm not sure I know what's going on here. Can you enlighten me please? What is the active sound module, and how should one disconnect it?
