I know you are all at the edge of your seat for my rust photos!
Here is another door same area, C pillar side:
B Pillar side:
Bonus spot behind the C pillar garnish I was going to replace :)
The chip would be an easy spot fix, but the rust coming from that folded steel portion is concerning. I opened a case with Acura because, last time I warrantied a paint repair through the dealer, I had to go back three times. The body shop was a disaster —dents on the door, large paint chips on...
Just get the same ones...

You will need to move the seat forward/back to access all the bolts.
Disconnect the battery after the 4 bolts are off or can be removed by hand.
Then you have to unhook the heater / seat control /air bag harness directly below the seat. Try your best to lift straight up and let it rest on the...
I finally found the source of the loudest rattle in the car. It’s coming from my passenger seat trim where the controls are. There appears to be some bracket with a hole in it and a stem that rests on it. Looks like there should be a screw or clip there.
Can anyone confirm? You can just push...
I bought the kit from someone selling their FL5. But yes, it is the same. You tap into the power lines of the traction control button, plug into an open port under the dash, and add a dedicated fuse box. The nice thing about these mods is that the lights will be at full brightness when...
For those installing JDM Honda Access parts like the lighting, they may come with a wiring harness. I had to tap into my traction control switch for the floor footwell lights, including the one in front and an additional one under the seat.
I started taking photos but gave up on the...
I noticed all the symptoms for a bit and got worried.
Worth trying... try utilizing the whole steering radius (fast and full lock left/right) during your drives. I had a couple days where I had to do the most K / U-turns in my life and steering feels smooth and responsive like when I bought...
Pointed it out to my service advisor during my B service. He acknowledged it as an issue and took photos of both (i pulled out a portable shop light to help photograph them 😅). Pending on Acura Corporate Approval 🤞
Interesting! I went from OEM to Akebono Ceramics on my A4.
Brake dust was like night vs day. The stock ones looked like you drove through a cool mine after a day.
The initial bite was softer for me and I had to put more effort on the brake pedal to stop in the same distance as stock. Made...
Hand washed the car a few months ago and noticed it. Ignored it for a couple months since you can only see it from certain angles. But after washing it recently I can't unsee it. Was trying to save a trip to the dealer and go when my oil change is due but I'm at 40%. Sent Acura Customer service...
