What did you do to your Type R today?

[jpanda]

Over the last week:
1. Body side moldings
2. HFP mats
3. Mugen black leather shift knob
4. Smoked side markers
5. Mugen under-door handle protectors
6. Black lug nuts

Gratuitous pics for people curious about the moldings. When I was researching there was only one owner on here with them, in Blue.

Are you going to add the Mugen under-door protectors on the back doors also?

has anyone tried fixing the rattling noise near the A pillar on their own? I want to know what needs to be done because I do not want to take my car to the dealership.

Haha same here . I remove the the single screw behind the airbag label and added little padding inside there and it went away . I didn't put back the screw tho .

Installed the seibon carbon mirror caps, they fit like a glove and only took me an hr to install.

any tips and tricks regarding the removal of the poem mirror?

I used the instructions I found on this site. If you push the top of the mirror in so you have a gap at the bottom you can get your fingers behind and pull towards you to release the glass. Then it’s just 3 tabs and she’s off.

honda instructions say to use a screwdriver wrapped with tape. so that is not needed? it'll just come up by sliding my hand in and pushing out?

I tried that method at first but it felt better getting my fingers behind and pulling towards me. It has 3 attachment points it snaps into.

No damage on the new and oems. Easy imo.

Just stick something soft inside the the panel where it contacts the airbag . I used a piece of cloth. Don't put anything that is too large otherwise it might effects the side airbag .

my cars will never see the inside of a dealership. nothing against it, just my personal preference. I do all the maintenance also
