There are an infinite amount of other things to worry about besides a hood prop.

But I also just spent over $200 on a headphone amp/DAC because I don't think my OEM motherboard's built-in audio is good enough. So to each their own.

That's still a more justified purchase than spending the ridiculous $275+ for alcantara wrapped shifter console just because the factory one was too shiney.

This is defensible! Motherboard audio is generally pretty lousy, even on high-end boards... Lots of crosstalk, and the amps generally struggle with low impedance drivers.

Money well spent!! Looks way better than OEM!! I actually shipped back my stock one and got a refund. Essentially it’s as if I shipped mine to begin with. I just did it after the fact. Can’t remember the price, but it saved me a little bit of money.

Looks great , how did the install go ?
easy. Didn't have to remove the bumper or jack the car up.

More info here if you want to see the install process

Think of the hood prop as a perk.. maybe replace it with a detachable carbon fiber rod like the LFA has.

agreed on it being a perk, and having two positions is an integra throw back. I love being able to get the hood basically straight up

Due to the nature of how the wheel arches are and the wider stance, my doors and rear qtr already have a few chips. Decided to go with the OEM mud guards. Install took about 40 minutes with basic tools and no drilling. Like others, I didn’t install the metal bracket for the rear and it doesn’t seem to affect the stability (in case I want to take them off later). I ordered a set online, but it was going to take a week to get here. My impatient ass called around Acura dealers and one had in stock. I’ll likely be selling the new ones I ordered. I’ll probably sell it for cheap just to get them off my hands and recoup some cost.

I installed a set of splash guards as well... For whatever reason, there is a ton of tiny loose gravel/stones in my neighborhood and I can hear it coming off of my tires as I drive through.

They're not too obtrusive and they actually look pretty good on the car. .I'm especially happy that they come pre-painted from Honda, so that's a plus.

I also installed the oem alcantara steering wheel, acuity shift kit and shifter.. What a difference.. My last few cars have had alcantara wheels and I love them. As far as the shifter, it's a huge difference; gear changes have a very firm feel and there isn't as much slop..

I installed the Amazon hood struts that many others have, pretty happy with them. Once you unlatch the hood it'll open fully on its own. The prop rod was a bit of a pain, especially if you're only under there to plug in the trickle charger. Took me about 25 minutes, could do it again in 15, part was $56.

The hood needs a little help to close, but nothing excessive.

My only advice would be to mount both of the hood-mounted pins first before securing either of the strut-mounted pins. That way you can do both with the hood on the prop rod in the higher position.

I hate how the usb c cable connection sits. I always think I’m going to accidentally hit it and break it off. I found these low profile 90* adapters that did the trick and point the cable downwards instead.

Finally got around to installing the envelope style cargo net. Used a DIY method to install the rivet nuts without a special tool. Overall install took about 20 minutes once I had all the right stuff ready. Is perfect for holding the genuine sunshade behind.

Bolt-ons done!
Added PRL HVI and Turbo Inlet (anodize colored by Rampage)..Still waiting on RMM.
The whole install took probably 2.5 hours all in, but I spent 45 minutes looking for a bolt I dropped. Was an awful 45 minutes....LOL.
Noticed the sound change right away, but only took it around the block to allow all the error codes to clear. I had the battery disconnected overnight so everything was throwing errors. After I drove it a bit and then restarted, there were no errors.

Impressions after driving:
I really like the difference in sound - not too loud but a bit deeper inside the cabin. Honestly I noticed the most difference driving in Comfort mode. Feels like it has more pick-up but that might just be my imagination. I do feel more pep in all modes though. It's definitely a good addition.

Is that plastic piece between the inlet pipe and intake oem? Can you install that inlet without the intake portion?
