JonnyRotten's 2014 CBP FG4 build thread

Dont do that. He is a foolish foolish man. Lol

Don't worry @Sleepingpanda I don't have near the budget you have. If I can save up for coilovers and buy them without my wife killing me I'll be happy.
I'm actually surprised that I was allowed to trade my 2012 but I had good reason. It was to help with my OCD.

I don't have the budget either. I'm just a moron. Lol. Id be better off lighting the money on fire. Hahaha

It's only money......
As they say, you can't take it with you @Sleepingpanda
If you enjoy modifying the car, go for it. I really like what you've done with it. I'm a little jelly actually

Well I've had the car for a few days now so it's time to start making it the way I like it. First mod for me. Debadged my car.(sorry the pics aren't great)
I was going to remove the Si symbol from the front grill as well until I had a closer look and realized that on the 2014 it's moulded right into the grill. The only way to remove it would be to replace the grill with a non Si grill if it fits.

Looking good @JonnyRotten ! I picked up a '13 HFP in June and I'm extremely jealous of the new phone interface / touchscreen. Although I haven't seen it first hand I hear it's pretty awesome w/ iPhone. What are your thoughts??

Well I had a 2012 Si coupe so I can compare the two cars. Now I don't want to sound like a spoiled child but I love this new car compared to my previous one.
Honda has made tons of little improvements that really nice. I'm enjoying finding out about all the new stuff.
The mechanical part of the car is pretty much the same which is great because I love the way this car drives and feels on the road. Of course the upgraded suspension is nice but I'm waiting for someone to develop some coilovers so I can drop the car a little bit.
Like I've mentioned before, the Canadian cars come pretty much fully loaded.
The new touch screen is really nice and it's very clean looking as well. I like the fact that it's much like a tablet. No buttons. I'm hoping that once Apple's CarPlay gets released I can get a software update to enable it. @mrmattdouglas I really like the HFP 18" wheels! I'd love to have a set of those.

@MrsJrotax101 you don't like my crappy debadging pics?

 

[MrsJrotax101]

Sorry, I've been so busy at work. Then I come home and crash. Looks good!

Busy, shmizy. Get your priorities straight.
Oh and thanks!

 

[OffTheWall]

Congrats, good lookin car.

 

[Word3k]

Congrats, I've had mine for a few days and it feels like its the next generation compared to the 2012 I had. You can really notice almost all the differences within the first few minutes, when it comes to how it drives.

 

[JaydiemTRAN]

This is the only picture I have so far.

Is it just me or the 14's double din looks like the size of an iPad lol

 

[spicy]

Yeah Johnny! Congrats man! Are you in Ontario?

Thanks guys! I'm really enjoying this new car and yes @Word3k the 2014 feels like a totally different car compared to the 2012. I'm glad I upgraded.

@JayDieM.TraN I think the actual display screen is roughly the same as the previous cars but the nav does look cleaner without all the buttons. Now if Apple gets CarPlay launched it's going to be sick!

@spicy I sure am. Have a look at my avatar or whatever you call that thing with my pic in it.

LOL right. I'm walking like 10miles a day at work between 8am-6pm. Carrying car parts around.

Do want 2014 dash conversion! LOL

Do want 2014 dash conversion! LOL

I don't want to sound like I'm boasting but the interior of the 2014 compared to my old 2012 is like night and day. I really like the improvements.
I'm really happy with this car!
