Yea I get ya that's a big jump in HP. I turned my 2014 SI in back in April and have been driving my 4 runner so it's probably gonna feel like a rocket ship to me
oh yeah most deff lol honestly I haven't really even pushed it pass 5k rpm yet so will see maybe it'll be a lot better after break in. exhaust note however is super quiet tho. probably the only mod I will do is intake and exhaust for better sounds

Just be careful with mods. I'm not sure if there is open sorce tuning for the Honda ecu's. If you start throwing parts on the car you're gonna need some engine management. And right now I wouldn't trust any off the shelf maps. I was runing a ots map on my EVO X and when I took it to get pro tuned my air fuel was a mess. It was from a COBB access port too. So just be careful !

if I have to get it tuned just for intake and exhaust than ill pass on that. I don't want to mess with any of that. just looking for better sound. I promised myself the next sport car I'm getting I'm leaving it stock. as i get older I'm starting to appreciate a pure stock car.

I would just leave it stock. I'm not gonna mess with mine. I like that it's quiet. Keep it low key. Less unwanted attention

500,

Any way you can measure the clearance on the front lip at the lowest point?

I have a sloped driveway and wanna see if it will clear. I have a is350f and it clears by .05".

Congrats on the car!

Question, for the front license plate how does it mount? Do you have to drill through the front bumper?

2 dimples on the front bumper you poke through with a punch then use self tapping screws to secure bracket.

Im sure some folks will come up with better ways to front mount a plate for the States/countries that need it. I personally would never let anyone put holes in the front bumper on a car like this.

Car pro cquartz is good stuff. You can also just go with a good sealant. I'm in jax and do a good bit of detailing, hit me up if you need some help with this aspect. Either keep this thing clean and get it protected. Congrats on the caR!
