Thanks for the kind words. Appreciate it. Now's the time to buy if you're interested in them. ~$40k gets you nice low mile clean example. Only 1,801 made.



Thanks you. It rejects 88% of solar heat
Oh really? So it is different from regular window tint?

Great looking car. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to check out your car sometime. I'm looking at getting a 2020 when they hit dealers.

I actually did start looking a couple months ago....but I'd have to give up my CTR. Not ready for that at the moment.

If you are looking for lowering springs or rear camber arms, mine will be up for sale in the coming few weeks. I am in Philly. I have the Sportline Springs and the SPC Control Arms.

Appreciate the consideration, not looking to modify the suspension. Best wishes the sale though

Hey Jon, keep us posted if you come up with a nice and clean way of covering up the mounting points for the spoiler. I'd definitely be interested!

Yesterday tires arrived from Discount Tire and this morning the wheels came from Vivid Racing and I was able to drop them off to get mounted and Roadforced balanced. While I waited for the phone call to pick them up, I swapped in the ceramic pads. Super easy install on front. Rear, same. Needle nose pliers are all you need to clockwise-turn the rear pistons in... no electronic or specialty tools needed. Same as any Honda product I've service in last 2 decades.

Installed:
-Enkei TS-V 18x9.5 +40 Storm Grey wheels
-Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ 255/40/18 tires
-Akebono ASP1001 front ceramic pads
-Akebono ACT1878 rear ceramic pads

Also forgot, last week I installed the ZL1 Addons Standard Rock Guards - front only

I buy 95% of our tires through Discount Tire Direct. Tire Rack the remainder. This time I attempted to source a full wheel/tire package through TireRack. Talked to a salesman and ordered everything, 2.14.20, said 1 week wait due to wheels needing to be acquired from Enkei. 1 week goes by, I check the status online... 3.14.20 is the estimate. I called and discussed options, but just ended up getting lugs and hub centric rings through them. Great guys to deal with at Tire Rack and they can only communicate the information in front of them, so no fault to them. However, by talking with some others more familiar with TireRack structure, they way they procure orders is only in bulk. So they weren't only going to get (4) wheels from Enkei for me, a full shipment was required.

Vivid was a great new experience. Definitely recommend them.

Better yet, even paying $120 for my own mounting/balancing/valve stems (preferred anyways). Everything came out to be ~$20 cheaper than TireRack's package. Discount Tire had an $80 instant rebate and Vivid beat TireRack's wheel pricing. The lugs and centric rings were only $33 from TireRack
