Scott, it doesn't make any squeaks at all. The only thing I hear's windnoise at the very bottom of the hardtop (Under latch area) if I go over 60-70 mph & it's very minimal. I haven't used Shinsu grease either, but I do have it just in case later on it makes the squeaks. Actually, the only squeaks I've read about online's the oem hardtop...Then again, they both use the same install kit/brackets, so I might've gotten lucky (Knock on wood). No pics yet b/c I've been busy working (To payoff the x-mas presents) & the car's kinda dirty right now. If the weather permits tomorrow, I'll take pics no matter what & post here...Just don't flame me if the car's dirty in the pics.

BTW, I've had the Mugen ECU on for a couple weeks now & I absolutely love it! One of the best mods I've done w/the car. It's right up there w/the Amuse exhaust. Now, if I can just decide on an intake.

HondaGuy; Can I get your review on the stearing wheel? By the pictures it looks a lot bigger than the stock one.
Im thinking of picking up the Mugen N1 springs, any reviews on that would be great too!!!!!!

Thanks!!!

Hondayguy the intake is expensive but I ran across a great deal that I couldn't let it pass. It was actually my first mod. My first impressions were that it gives you more torque, I don't know the numbers, but I feel a lot. It starts from around 3.5k RPM and to 7.5k RPM (from this point on is hard to say). The sound of the intake is awesome it sounds sweet. I don't know how it compares to the other intakes, I've only heard the AEM and the sound is a lot nicer on the Mugen. Performance wise I think Mugen has the best design to suck up air. The filter is also very easy to clean and installations is easy to but you certainly need the Dremel tool.

FRP version: Comes unpainted in an off-white color. Mugen recommends painting the top (& around the rear window) body color & the b-pillar area black (Right behind side windows).

CF version: You can also paint it if you want, but why would anyone want to paint over cf? You might as well get the FRP version & save yourself around $2000+.
