First Fun Car!

You can get the center console w. red stitching to match the wheel.

That is actually ideal.

The orchid interiors have gray stitching -- not white -- and as a result, the Overland console does not match the orchid interiors regardless of which option you choose. It only matches the red / black interiors.

Ah the white tone just fits better with the gray for my taste. I wish there was an option for the alcantara wheel that isn't red stitching but guess beggers can't be choosers. The black/red interiors matched with the center console and wheel looks clean.

The sound/vibration "feel" is useful for driver feedback even in a daily setting. I've seen people do the PRL's. How long have you owned your ITS for?

Less than a month. Just coming from the NSX and S2000, it's very different. Modern car, sound dampening materials I guess. Don't get me wrong, not trying to turn the ITS into a track/race car feeling where your teeth rattle but just something to feel as you get into the revs.

LOL seems like lots of great influences in this group of folks. Post a clip of the sound when its done! I've never owned a car this quick before so hopefully it'll be a while before I go crazy with the mods.

For you consideration:

FYI: I reached out to Overland this AM, and they are now offering gray stitching for those w. Orchid interiors.

Props to them for being responsive, etc.! Couldn't ask for a better Q & A > result chain with a small business.

Sounds great! Maybe I should just sneak a quick exhaust install in before my partner catches on. I'll just tell her it came from the factor like this and didn't spend any extra on parts

Nice! They are top notch quality as well, I got into the car today after replacing it last night and it makes me smile. It just completes the look and I actually like the buttons being a bit more recessed looking due to the additional "padding".

Wouldn't it be funny if Honda caught on and made it factory for 2025... (they won't)

I literally laughed out load reading this thread.
I have had a lot of experience with modding Honda's over the years and my original plan was to leave this car bone stock.
While it (IMO) is an amazing car bone stock, I kind of fell in love with it.
What do we do with things we love. We pay attention, pamper, play with and YES, we upgrade them to make what we love even better.
My first upgrades were simply under the guise that it would be cheaper for me than get the car with them already installed. (the blacked out emblems and carbon fiber spoiler.)
once I itched that, then it was this and then it was that and now I find myself doing at least something to it or with it on at least a monthly basis.

Welcome to the forum and I guarantee, You will love your car.

Just picked up car from the shop. Ceramic coating came out super clean and they were able to salvage that little scratch I found. Turned out to be nothing! Installed mudflaps this morning.

Just installed Moshimoto expansion tank - OEM one was already leaking, didn't feel like having to keep swapping out under warranty if this issue is going to continue. Stuck between choosing an AWE and Milltek exhaust option....

 

[Evolving_e63]

Nice car man! Did you pick exhaust yet? I'm leaning towards the mbrp one.

Thanks! I prefer a deeper sounding tone, so far IMO AWE seems to have the most mature sound. Obviously subjective for each person, but I do see other members on the forum talking about Borla releasing one so may want to wait and see sound clips of that once they are finished with R&D.

I'm sticking to the mbrp because it retains the factory valve for the exhaust, it comes with the up pipe which I don't think any other current system does and it comes with a un resonated and resonator in case it's not loud enough or vice versa.

The awe was my 2nd choice tho

Ah great choice. I honestly don't mind the traditional exhaust without valves - less things to go wrong. MBRP sounds great though! Looking forward to a post once you get it!
