Back from detail, paint correction, clay bar, ceramic pro 9h, ceramic pro light (top coat) and xpel full front coverage. Spent more than I will admit but I get it now and am glad I did it. Pictures doesn't do it justice in terms of before and after.
Met up with another forum member so he could hear the PPE headers and exhaust in person. So much better than a sound clip. It's always nice seeing another RC-F.
Can't wait for my PPE exhaust to arrive! The switch is located differently now from yours BossMoss. I like your valve button location better; went with the fobs.

You should be able to move it to any location you prefer, since the switch is so small. Mine is in a blank switch panel that is now where my trunk opener used to be. I had moved my trunk switch up to the main bank of switches for convenience.

Reason: typo
Took the car to the dealership today for 32,000 KM service (car has 16,000 KM). They detailed it very nicely and the tech I asked for is an expert in F cars so he was extremely thorough.
Dealership said alignment was not needed and should wait until I get my next tires for an alignment. I have quite a lot of negative camber, which the tech said was good for handling and track. Though, I have more inner wear on tires, the tech said he would not recommend an alignment since the conservatice specs would make the car 'handle like a Corolla' LOL I might do it after I get the new MPS4S XL tires and the stiff lower control arms.
OEM Tires: 5mm all around left so quite a bit of tread still there. More inner tire wear. Tech recommended 40 psi, but car becomes too jumpy/darty at 40 psi under hard acceleration. Also, lose the steering feel and becomes too numb and vague so going to stick with my 36F/38R tested one. Again, tires are a big letdown on the RCF. Cannot wait to get the MPS4S XL RCF-spec tires, but have to wait till these wear down until next year.
OEM Brakes: 7 mm all around so quite a lot of pad still left. Hopefully, can get another 15,000 - 20,000 km before I get down to 3 mm.
Battery: Slightly weak battery due to winter storage. Will have to disconnect the negative terminal the next time.
Coming from Australia. This is the one with the light which I preferred. Model MS422-00001 (which has been discontinued). The one without the light for gas engines I believe is MS422-00003
Did you install yours? I bought the last one, and it looks awesome. But... The wiring plug does not fit. I had to take it out and return to my stock starter button. Bummer. At least it turned out to be super easy, so I'll know when I find one that fits.

I haven't yet. Sorry man, didn't mean to steer you in the wrong direction. My understanding is that part number was the lighted button that's universal for gas engines per this thread.
There's another member here that has one on the RC F but didn't list the part number although did mention it was discussed in length in the IS and RC forums.
