Finally picked up my exhaust combo that I've been aiming for: Tanabe Medalion Touring + Berk 63.5 HFC. Got it installed a couple weeks ago and am extremely happy with how it sounds! Not too loud, but noticeable WOT. Here's some pictures from a recent day out:

Nice write up. You did the basics that make the car more enjoyable without overdoing it. Congrats.

I messaged Gernby a couple months ago inquiring about a tune after I picked up my Hondata FlashPro locally. He finally responded last week and was happy to start accepting tune requests again! We've been in contact since and finally got a chance to run data logs for him to get started on the tune. So far, the process has been painless and he has answered all my questions.

On my previous FRS, I went full bolt-ons with a basic map tune so this is my first time getting a custom tune that had to include data logs. I am now patiently waiting for him to come back with the updated tune

Thanks for sharing this, glad to know Gernby is still doing etunes!

Quick update: Gernby finished my tune and the car is running great! VTEC has been lowered to about ~3800rpm and the low end torque was much needed. Although the overall driving experience is better, there are times where I miss the excitement and build up of the 7k VTEC. Can't complain too much though as the car runs smoother now. Other than the tune, there hasn't been much work done to the car lately but here are a few recent pictures:

I bought a Forbidden USA OEM Style Hardtop from their Black Friday sale along with their OEM style hardware for easy removal. I got it painted at a local shop and finally got a chance to install it! Fitment is pretty spot on, the OEM style hardware and front soft-top latches help a lot. There was some minor squeaking to start but once it settled in, it seems pretty smooth. Unfortunately, not 100% noise-less but you can only expect so much from a replica. The only noises are on harsh dips or bumps. Here's some pics of it on the car:
