u should never do that.

to the TS.

no adding factory fogs will not void your warranty, hid was never an option with the rsx only JDM dc5 had that option.
tints will not void ur warranty. dont u guys have all those brand new escalades, yukons etc with tint and dubs down there. they can do it y cant u?

best thing to do imo if u really want to install that stuff is take it out if u decide to go in for servicing or warranty claims.

better yet save the money now and wait till the warranty expires then you'll have all that money towards it.

Honda Dealership here refused to service our 2 yr old civic VP-
30,000 miles with full 100,000 mile bumper to bumper waranty
it was a trunk leak-caused by "Faulty Welds" according to some bulletins on it, but- They Never even welded it on ours!
(Robot's FAULT, NOT OURS!)
after showing them the bulletins, they Still refused to help us...

it took me 3 trips there, and eventually talking to the Head-General manager before we were taken care of...

we did No mods to our car! and always had Them service it!

long story short- they will try to squirm out of anything!
(They tried to say, "Because you had your oil changed elsewhere, it voided your warranty!)


so -Good LUCK!

THAT IS exactly what i told them!

luckily -the owners were there for a meeting, and the head manager brought up my concerns...

i guess the owners were getting sick of losing GOOD customers-
and they said fix it! PLUS they gave me free oil changes for life

so, like the Beastie Boys said "YOU GOTTA FIGHT... FOR YOUR RIGHT!" (then ...Party! )

we will never again buy the extended coverage. they are total

I think any motor mods will void your warrenty, say if somethings wrong with your transmission or you motor and they see an cold air intake, they'll probably say that's causing the problem and void it.

your third question about the same subject...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by preludedriva &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">i knew that but i wanted to know if i got A spec susp if that would void my ENTIRE warranty or not since its still from honda/acura</TD></TR></TABLE>

and once again...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by DC5_lov3r &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">...they'll probably say that's causing the problem and void it. </TD></TR></TABLE>

AGAIN...
plug any question into your "Dealers Warranty" equation-
and the answer is still...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by DC5_lov3r &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">...they'll probably say that's causing the problem and void it. </TD></TR></TABLE>

but go ahead, ASK AGAIN!
PLEASE!
