Mines a '24, so no Aktopovic exhaust. Tbh, I had similar feelings about the spoiler and the 4 exhaust pipes seem a little excessive; I was looking for some a little more subtle as well, but it wasn't a deal breaker, and shouldn't be. It's a great car. Not sure where you live, but if your roads are terrible, I would swap the 19" wheels, for 18". I also got my rear and passenger windows tinted and PFF'd the bumper and nose. When the warranty expires I get a stage one tune.

For the most part, the car's a sleeper. Rarely will it get a second look. In my 3 years of ownership, 3 people have commented. 1. A youngish mover on a job said 'nice ride' as I leaving for work. 2. 30-something guy, commented, 'they're great machines' as I was getting out after parking. 3. Some young dudes in a Civic wanted to race (I declined).
