What did you do to your Type R today?

Thanks Silverdollar22, appreciate that.

I remember something about from previous post (Omar’s?).

I haven’t put mine in yet, wanted a real soldeting iron on hand in case snap block gave me issues. Something about cutting into OEM harness even just to tap in makes me ‘lil nervous. Once connected I saw the turn signals are progressive.

The third wire (red or yellow) can’t remember, has a pointed end that is supposed to plug into the connector. I just found which wire on the headlight harness (from the backside) was the turn signal and inserted the pointed end right into the back of the headlight harness connector. Then for added protection put a bit of electrical tape on it to cover the inserted wire. This was better than cutting any wires and can be easily removed.

I was thinking of spear fishing the pin contact exactly as you described. I think that’s what they had in mind. Instead of heat resistant electrical tape I was going to try maybe a layer of that with final wrap in rubberized tape. In AF GI terms we called it F4 tape.

My short leads that connect to these longer (white extensions with pointy pin) for turn signal tap need some soldering and wrapping as received loosely pressed together.

Great purchase. Someone stated that with OEM wheels we do not need them, however, I believe they are incorrect. You will be happy.

Yes I saw that. I’d rather have them on regardless. Better safe than sorry. I’m looking forward to them. Thanks for the reply.

OEM wheels spit rocks up. It’s the reason why I have rock chips on my rear doors and panels.

I had a rock chip from OEM wheels. Rock guards are a good idea.

How hard is it to pull all the dash pieces? I'm thinking of having mine painted CW since the metallic red is weird to me too.

If it were me I would see if they make a close match to CW vinyl pinstriping. That way if you don't like it it wouldn't be as much work to remove. I painted a dash white in the past and it got old real quick.

Applied two friendly safety reminder decals, one to each front door threshold, pair on order for back doors.

I have something similar in my R.

Made myself a custom puddle light-ish setup. Came out pretty nice and comes on when opening the door or unlocking the car.

Volks, nice sun is in my eyes surprise.
With no end to silliness in sight, the local Honda dealer surely removed a pair of these from Ridgeline rear door thresholds when they bought it.

Some details of how you did it would be great???

I installed the PRL intercooler, charge pipe kit, and HVI. All in took me about 5 hours, although I'm sure it would take someone with more experience significantly less time. Install went very smooth overall, except for struggling some with positioning the evap. tube flange on the HVI.

Money. Well. Spent. The turbo starts to spool around 2400 rpm now compared to spooling around 3K prior to install. Love it!
