Which chip repair option for something this small?

I noticed I got a rock chip on my windshield. It's very small (\~1cm at most where it seems to be spreading underneath).

I have 2 options for chip repair in town... One of those drive through tents where they'll do it for you on the spot and good price. Second is a windshield repair shop where it may take some time to be seen, and it will cost definitely more. For something like this small, is the cheaper easier option reasonable to go for? Thanks.

Windshield chip repair Q

Are these blotchy spots in my paint normal wear and tear? 2024 pwp

Bought a 2024 PWP used with over 50,000km on the odometer. After my first wash, I was waxing the car and noticed I couldn't wipe these spots off. Someone told me that's from gravel hitting the paint, and you see the discoloration underneath? These photos are at the door panels behind the front wheel. I was feeling disappointed about how the paint looks, but is that normal as you'd expect for a used car at this year and odo?

Anyone out there with this EOS wing?

I know the consensus opinion is a wing is atrocious on this car. It's my first sport car and I'd like to try the wing experience so I'm thinking about going for it, but I wanted to get some feedback on the build quality and install from anyone else who's tried it? Pictures would be great and if you get any rattles or obstructs your rear view a lot (it looks like it's at that exact height where you can see right through the gap).

It looks like it definitely needs drilling, although it claims that you can use factory mounting holes. There's no holes that run on the side of the trunk though.

Need insight on this wing (AI modeled pictures included)

Used AI to model what the wing would look like on my car. It would have to be drilled bolted on. The wing sits around middle of my rear view window so it'll cause a significant blind spot and probably lower my fuel efficiency. I wonder also if it would rattle. I'm a newbie to cars and I've always wanted a car with a wing but I feel like this may be too much and not even sure if it looks good. Would like to get insight from people who have experience in this stuff to help me decide. Thanks folks

Artwork v1 spoiler and rear view vision

After much thought, I gave up on a full on wing. The Artwork V1 spoiler seems to be the best balance, although the price is a bit of a stinger... For owners with this spoiler (not the V2... that seems way too much), please share if your rear view vision was impacted at all? Or is it still clear?

If you have photo to share, please do! Reddit seems to have flagged this post as a spoiler... lol

Epsilon wing or any other wings installed on the integra

Curious for anyone who's installed a wing (not a spoiler) on their type S, especially the PWP? I'd love to hear your opinions about how it handles. Does it vibrate? Does it block your rear view a lot?

If you have any pictures (especially for PWP), I'd love to see it. Did the AI render for the Epsilon and it seems like it'd be good with the gloss black.

how to shift better from 1st to 2nd gear?

first time manual driver here. I've been able to shift smoothly from 1 to 2 by releasing the clutch gradually, but this would take a significant amount of time and slow the acceleration process, especially if you're trying to get up to speed quick. If I tried to shift too fast, it would make the car quite jerky.

Are there any tips or tricks to smoothly shift and do it fast? Thanks.

which rim color would go well with the PWP?

Thinking about getting an 18" rim next year once I run through the tires on the stock 19" that came with the CPO. I have the PWP color, and was hoping for suggestions on 18" rims and color with pictures if you've got them! Thank you.

Weathertech hp floor mat Q

Curious for anyone who bought this, have you experienced any issue with space being cramped around the pedal area? I currently have the OEM all season floor mats which came with my CPO and I'm a bit confused why the coverage is so poor only for the driver's side. I'm contemplating buying the weathertech hp one but it seems pretty thick and extends past the areas where the OEM doesn't.

Anyone had a tree removed off their yard? I got a big one I'm looking to inquire about. Would be good to hear how much it cost for you and the size of the tree to have a comparison. Thanks!

motorcycling dans les suds des Alpes francaises au fin de Septembre

Salut,

Je pensais a louer un motorcycle et traverser les Alpes francaises pour les 28 Sept-2 Oct. Est-ce que c'est trop risque pour les cols et les routes glissantes? J'ai entendu que c'est le super el nino cette annee donc j'espere que ca va etre un peu plus chaud.

Alternativement, je peux considerer aussi 14-18 Sept, mais je veux qu'il y a moins de monde. Je voulais votre opinions. Merci!

motorcycling in southern French Alps at end of Oct

I'm thinking to rent a motorcycle and ride around the Southern French Alps for 28 Sept to 2 Oct. Is this too risky at that time of the year in the peak of the "cols"? I do hear it's the super el nino this year so it's expected to be extra warm.

I was considering this week vs the 14-18 Sept, but I am hoping to go when a lot of the traffic has died down. I don't mind the rain so much, but I am worried about ice up top. Hoping to get experienced opinions.

Does anyone have these wheels on their type s? How to know if they'll fit for sure?

I apologize in advance for my ignorance but I don't know cars very well. I heard from Gemini these tires will fit on the stock type S with regular brembo brakes. Does anyone have them on their car and would be able to confirm and share picture of what it looks like?

https://www.jspecwheels.ca/products/fc04a-1890-12dn-40c726?variant=46193987256491&country=CA&currency=CAD&utm\_medium=product\_sync&utm\_source=google&utm\_content=sag\_organic&utm\_campaign=sag\_organic

Thanks!

I heard about keeping the "offset between 38-45mm" but I don't understand exactly what this means. Is it better to keep it at one or another or in between like this one at 40?

Few questions as first time ITS owner

Hey folks,

Thanks for your help with my other post asking about which color to decide. Funny enough - life worked out a great deal on a used white model and I went for it as it was too good to pass up on.

I have a few questions as a first time owner of this great car.

  1. I plan on taking my car to an independent mechanic instead of an Acura dealership to do all my servicing (oil changes, etc). For anyone else who does this, do you have any issues clearing codes or "change oil" warnings? I spoke to the sales guy about this and he reassured me that Acura doesn't do what the German cars do, but just wanted to double check. For clearing maintenance intervals, do you go do it in the infotainment?

  2. Since I'll most likely have to change tires soon anyway on this used car, I would like to downsize my summer wheels to a set of bronze/gold 18" rims. I tried inquiring at my local tire shop, and they told me they can't find any that's in this color... only black or silver. I checked Google, and I have heard of the RAYS Volk Racing ZE40 rims but they're crazy expensive and I'm looking for recommendations on more affordable but still good quality rims that the community knows about. If not bronze/gold, which other rims would you recommend for the PWP color?

  3. To match the 18", I'd appreciate your recs on tires which would last the longest and offer comfort on bumps and road noise while still fitting with the specs of the car. What's the gold standard for the ITS?

Thanks guys! I have to say I really appreciate how great the community is here. Cheers.

Can the ITS survive Northern ONTARIO winter roads? Has anyone daily'd this car in a place where winters get a LOT of snow?

I got lucky securing an amazing deal on a new '26 ITS. So good that it's very hard to turn it down.

I've seen people daily their ITS all year long with winter tires on rims which I had planned on doing as well, but the thing is - I live in Northern Ontario with a LOT of snow and big potholes during winter. The ground clearance worries me, although I live in city limits and don't drive any unserviced roads which wouldn't be plowed. That doesn't account into chunks of ice falling off trucks onto my path or potholes as I had mentioned. The thing is - I checked the ground clearance (about 4.8") and it's not THAT much lower than a WRX which would be at 5.5" or a GR Corolla at 5.3", or an IS350 5.1", which people daily durinf winters quite often (I see WRX during winters all the time here with their AWD).

I already drive a FWD and that's been ok for winters so I thought the ITS should be fine as long as I secure great winter tires. I do have another SUV which I can drive on days the roads are really bad as backup.

Are there any other concerns for winter dailying that I haven't accounted for that people have seen? Would you advise against buying? Are there any other people here who live in Northern Canada and drive the ITS daily all year long?

does the current gen rx350h base (premium) and luxury trim really not have autofolding mirrors?

I see that it's only offered on ultraluxury package. Kinda wild to me that it's not offered automatically across all package levels.
