one annoying problem at highway speeds with the fit has been the wind buffeting i get with all the windows down .been wondering if a cargo liner in place
would ease that up ? i'm thinking the wind noise is because car is basically a big empty box

I tried out the "disable vehicle stability control" insructions posted on here some years back. It did what the OP said, but haven't had a chance to really check it out on empty back roads yet. I like the idea of being able to do it, but it's not really applicable to real world driving, I guess...

Installed...
  • JL Audio c2-650 mains
  • JL Audio 8W3v3-4 subwoofer
  • Pioneer GM-D8704 4-Channel Amp -- 100wpc to mains, 200 watts bridged to subwoofer.
  • Also, Noico mat in doors.
  • Custom fiberglass sealed Subwoofer cabinet.
  • Factory head unit.
It sounds great and the subwoofer box looks "well integrated," while taking very little space. A little harsh in the mid highs (I wish I had an eq), but otherwise great. Tons of sound pressure. Pretty good sound stage for a car. Some resonant vibration in panel behind the custom sub enclosure.

Well...It is a custom box, but I assume he'd be happy to build more.
I would be happy to inquire for you, if you are interested. I'd guess that he would want somewhere between $300 and $350 plus shipping paid 2 or 3 weeks in advance.
I can vouch for his honesty and the quality/craftsmanship of his work. I'd plan to dynamat behind the subwoofer box.
It is designed for a JL Audio 8w3v3-4, but I am sure it would work for a 6w3v3-4.

PM me if you are interested.

You have to fully disassemble your stock wheel and put the accessories on the new wheel. It looks like this.

Red stitching just like the rest of the Sport's interior. Honda calls it orange but it's really red. The steering wheels retail for $899.99 on the handkrafted website. I bought it slightly used for $165 shipped off of FB marketplace. Deals.
