Pulled the Radiator in preparation to install a Koyorad. Crossing fingers it will fit with the intercooler I have.

Cool FatherPain. I mean that literally.
I have Intercooler and radiator concerns with our six or more hot months here in NW FL. Let us know if your combo fits and how things run, even though it’s probably not a good time to judge cooling improvements in mid-Jan.

Shopping the Koyorad PDQ, it’s just $299.69 here using 10% off coupon courtesy of Google search:

Mbach,
Could you please share which protection package you chose and what it costs? XPEL website shows several for front end ranging $229-$909, thanks!

XPEL PPF for R via Google:

I got the full hood, fender and mirror kit + bumper kit + A-pillar and roof kit. Total cost was $1,250 before tax. We decided to not do the roof part of the A-pillar kit because I didn’t want the line across the roof. The shop also ceramic coated the PPF once it was installed as the car is ceramic coated already. Let me know if you have any other questions!

A work van decided not to check his blind spots before changing lanes driving me off the road onto the shoulder where a parked semi truck was awaiting me. Honked my horn to try to let him know to retreat back but he didn't want to. So I decided not to rear end a parked semi going 50-60 MPH and ended up giving him a glancing blow instead. This idiot decided to drive off.

Damage to the driver side rear quarter panels looks minimal (2 decently sized scratches) on that little plastic bit that Honda sticks onto the car to widen it out a bit. To be honest, I missed the scratches the first time around because all the salt was there.

Surprisingly the plastic part is only like 150 bucks and comes painted. Though installation may not be super easy.

Not today, but swapped out rear brake pads a few days ago since they were basically toast after ~26k miles of daily driving.

Interestingly enough, the Spoon pads in the rear have eliminated a lot of the noise I was experiencing with the stock pads. Haven't heard any squealing since they've been installed. Might be too early to tell though since I'm still bedding them in. Also too early to tell if they dust more than stock, though I've been told its comparable. Need to clean my filthy car. Lol

Deleted the red pinstripe along the bottom of the car by putting some 1/4" 3D carbon fiber vinyl over it. Why haven't I done this sooner?

Getting ready to start installing my Auto Interior Technic Alcantara steering wheel wrap. My daughter just did her 8th Gen SI wheel and it turned out great! This is her car with it installed and mine just fitting it up.
