If you have time to share, please list your current upgrades and the order you performed them.

Is there another mod in mind or is your car now complete...or have you kept your car largely stock?

What has been your favorite mod so far?

Do you track or is your car used for daily driving?

Interested to see the different pathways people take to upgrade our cars. .

Thanks :)

Like, such as... Hondata > Flex Fuel > Brake and Suspension mods > Dress-up/wheels/tires and... done?

I should note, that's kinda my thought, not trying to put words in your mouth :) I didn't know you got the Acuity shifter. I love it, and the wheel I got. Being the two things my hands are on constantly, I'm glad I got it right.

Yeah i've had the shifter since the first batch. I had their shifter on my 9th gen SI so when they released it for the 10th gen, i didn't think twice and just clicked buy lol.

I haven't really thought about it too much but probably would do:

wheels/suspension/brakes, power, dress up.

one thing i'd for sure do is make sure i buy what i want once. I lost a lot of money selling that greddy and the injen.

I purchased in December 2018...probably should have waited a month and picked up a 2019 but didn’t want to deal with insane dealer markups + couldn’t wait after reading the positive online reviews and seeing it in person.

Mods so far:

1. Ceramic coat + clear bra + window tint
2. Sequence Exhaust

On the way: (decided on this after visiting Boosted187 btw)

4. Eventuri intake. In route
5. HK intercooler w/pipe kit backordered

Next
5. Shift knob - between leather wrapped OEM or Mugen. I think some of my palm flesh is still burned into that stock aluminum ball :(

Future:
6. Enroll in a high performance driving school.
7. Hondata + tune hopefully later this year
8. Wheels - not sure what size or style. But have plenty of time before able to move on this.

The best mod so far (just have 2 to choose from) is the ceramic coating and clear bra. Daily and weekend driver, already racked up 14k miles and haven’t washed it regularly...washed a few days ago and paint still looks great and zero rock chips

Have not yet taken it canyon carving or the track. Would like to do so some time.

Was pretty happy with the car stock and felt it’s fast enough. Ended up going with Hondata FlashPro and the 91 octane tune for California gas. I can’t image someone needs more than this for the streets. I spend some time in the canyons around Los Angeles and have fun chasing or gapping other “spirited drivers.”

Looking forward to trying different tires and getting this on the track (Buttonwillow, Big Willow or SOW).
