Integra23 is right. I installed this and no drilling. Just laying down tape to protect paint and secure wiring to the frame. You can do this without introducing new rattles, but you have to take your time and be careful prying the trim pieces off. Dealers have a much easier time as they can lift...

FYI, anyone wanting to swap for the Type R aluminum shift knob, 54102-TGH-G00, will need to get the lock nut that is specific for the Type R as well. That lock nut does not have the black lip that lines up with the thinner base of the stock/titanium shift knob. Otherwise, the shift knob will...

I applied mine before so the moldings would be ceramic coated too. I also didn’t want any issues with the adhesives and ceramic.

Some colors will look better than others…namely their ability to disappear and look like an added crease. The kit comes with a template that ensures your molding lines up with the door creases so it at least doesn’t look out of place. I don’t mind mine because they don’t stick out too much and I...

It won’t cure all rattles, but it does help. I heard a brief seat belt rattle today, but it was under hard acceleration over poor terrain and was the first time the car vibrated enough to ring the springs and was a quickly gone after shifting.

So I have 1000 miles on it already and I scheduled an appointment to get my oil changed. If they are going to do that they might as well try to fix some other stuff so I don’t have to keep it bothering me. And the body side molding likely helped as it acted as an exterior sound dampener for all...

Just got the Michelins 4S back on and the difference was so astounding it merited my response. Vibration at highway speeds immediately vanished, car felt lighter and more nimble through turns and acceleration and road feedback is perfect. I don’t think this car should be driven with any other...

Fwiw, body side molding took care of my seat belt rattles so I didn’t bother taking them apart to potentially make it worse. I have an appointment on the 19th to see about the heater core which I believe is causing the last rattle from behind the dash. Otherwise no other issues for me.

I also saved a bunch of money switching to Geico.

And if your shocked at $2400 for tint/ceramic which material/labor intensive…just wait until you see how much a dealer charges you to install the illuminated side sill plates. The money I saved installing that myself paid for half of this. We live in America. Shit ain’t cheap.

Ceramic coating is not cheap unless you do it yourself and have all the tools. The best nano ceramic tint for all the windows is also not cheap either. Not getting skin cancer and being much cooler is worth it to me. The ceramic coating was also worth it to me as I saw the paint condition the...

Best money can get in Xpel Prime Plus nano ceramic and Xpel Fusion ceramic coating. The coating is supposed to last 8 years with annual touch ups if it is to be believed. Front windshield 70%/20% everything else to beat the oppressive heat. $2400 after tax.

Tint/ceramic coat after installing body side moldings and splash guards myself.

This is not to say that someone may not have the issues that I have, but at the very least Discount Tire was willing to get me back into a new set of Michelins (I made the mistake of getting trade in and not keeping the original set thinking the 06+ would be my one and only and not wanting to...

Yes, they installed them correctly, and balanced it twice on the road force machine. Wasn’t noticeable in town, but on highway speeds pulsing vibrations felt that the Michelins did not create. It doesn’t appear to be an isolated incident either as others have mentioned it for the previous gen...

Fwiw, I just wasted $$ at Discount Tire trying to get the DWS06+ to work with the OEM Type S wheel. Couldn’t get them to balance, and gave the car steering column vibrations. Discount will be putting me back in the Michelin Pilot Sport 4s’s. I’m going to rock the summers until Michelin offers...

I have an appointment in a few weeks to take my type s for its first oil change, and for the local dealer to find a faint buzzing noise I have under acceleration (no accessories installed by dealer). I did check the infotainment and saw that they felt taped the corners like the Civic TSB, so I...

Acura doesn’t offer any promotions for the Type S, but they are more than able to match/beat your bank/credit union. My credit union didn’t have rates as stellar as some of the others (66/5.19) but finance matched/beat through Acura and offered me 5.04 which is only 5 basis points over the other...

Question for any of the other owners…are you all hearing a tinny electric/metallic buzz under acceleration? It’s faint/persistent under acceleration that goes away if you lift off throttle, and doesn’t get louder at higher rpm’s. I don’t hear it on harder acceleration pulls or with the radio on...

My black is 519. I think the VIN does denote order of production, but what you are seeing play out is related to logistics of getting vehicles from the centralizes distribution hub out to the dealers nationwide.
