Some will argue that PPF is just protecting the paint for the next owner! My Integra is my second fully filmed car. It's for my own OCD tendencies. The film makes maintaining and cleaning the car fairly easy. Less worrying about chips while driving. The cost was about $6500, which was in the...

Mine didn't do the front intercooler area. It is matte black plastic, said film wouldn't adhere very well. The rear diffuser was filmed but had to be done in sections. This was back at the end of 2023--not sure if any templates are now available for it.

yes, that is correct. or at least that's the that item i bought on amazon

saw that i got a similar shipping notification too

Thanks for the heads up; I ordered one too.

looks nice. i forgot to put an order before; seems like i waited too long as the site now shows sold out. will there be more production runs? or another preorder?

5.4 L or 5.7qt should be correct. Perhaps the oil hadn't fully drained (or is the car sitting on a slope preventing maximum drainage)? Generally, when I've changed oil in the past (with this and other cars), the drain is one of my first steps to allow it plenty of time to do so. In the...

Wow. I wonder if the techs made a goof and thought they were filling the base engine model. Just to be precise, from the owner's manual (pg 646), the oil capacity for 2.0L engine is 5.4L (or 5.7 qt); base 1.5L engine oil change is 3.5L (3.7 qt). I use a full synthetic Liquid Moly 0w-20 and plan...

I'm a few weeks past one year of ownership on my ITS and the maintenance minder has been buzzing and alerting me about changing the oil. Of course, the car only broke 2000 miles a few weeks ago when I drove it to Monterey to attend Concours d'Elegance. Before that, I had previously performed my...

Having a BMW as well, I've been ordering supplies from FCP euro for the last few years if I can due to their lifetime guarantee (this includes fluids/oils). I also have a Kia that uses the same oil weight. liquid moly seems to get more promo/exposure (probably due to being a German brand) on the...

So just to clarify, those torque values you mentioned earlier at which you test fitted the nuts, those values are with anti-seized applied on the studs? Or should one further reduce the torque (or conversely, increase the torque if it is a dry application with no anti-seize)?

It's still hot so I haven't gotten around to trying anything yet... So you drilled one hole to 5/8 (virgin hole --not having been previously mounted/torqued it?)? Did it deform at all when you torqued it on the hub with the flat flange nut? Was it still easy to remove the wheel off the...

Did you ever get around to this project? Did you initially drill using the 5/8th step from the start? If so, how did it work out for you?

I had to go back and reread this thread from the begining. I must have missed it before, but @Compromise had this same situation in post 64, but incrementally torqued in post 71. Another user asked about drilling 5/8ths from the get go, but I'm not sure what the outcome or if that path was...

that's the thing. at least with this particular wheel i have, at the 9/16th step -- the drill bit is already through the holes on the wheel at 9/16th step. while i haven't put the bit on the drill itself, at the 9/16th step, i dont think it will widen anything as it's already fully through the...

After researching the various step drill bits (thanks to the Project Farm youtube channel/video), I ordered a DeWalt spiral step drill bit as my local Harbor Freight didn't have the good-value Hercules bit in stock. The bit arrived yesterday and I just passed it through the existing holes in the...

Great summary/compilation above, just what I needed. I am going the BMW spare wheel route so I will need to drill to widen the mounting holes and the appropriate lug nuts. The tire and wheel arrived earlier this week. Good point to drill before mounting and balancing the wheel/tire. I'll get...

i reviewed your photos of that lug nut in the other thread....any chance you have a part number? or what year RL tire does that spare belong to? checking a 2012 RL on Dream Shop, i found the part number 90304-SJA-A91. however, in looking at photos from various stores, it doesn't seem to have...

wow that was a hard one to find. i had to go through and drill down through the entire parts catalog a few times on Dream Shop to find it. Found it under Interior/Bumper >> Under cover: 5 .PLATE, FR. ENGINE COVER (LOWER) Part Number: 74114-T60-A00 15.BOLT, COVER (LOWER) Part Number...

so are the Acura RL lug nuts a better option altogether (as compared to flat flanged nuts with or without jam nuts)? also question about jam nuts as i dont have any experience, but these jam nuts go on after the flanged nuts are torqued and are they themselves torqued to some spec as well?
