Get tints. I know a guy who has a red one and dark tints and it looks amazing. You have to admit though. The performance is bitterly dissappointing. My friends ep3 type r eats and spits out these new shape ones like nothing normal. While all the other hot hatches got quicker, the CTR got slower

Glad your happy with it mate and wish you the best of luck.
Yes, the EP3 is quicker as the FN2 is heavier, but the FN2 sounds nicer in stock form (rather resembles the sound of an NSX) and you'd be hard pushed to buy a brand new EP3.
If you get any issues with it mate and want a second opinion or advice, feel free to ask.
Oh! If you are getting the rear windows tinted, make sure whoever does it knows that the lower rear screen is perspex and not glass. I've seen a few damaged before where the tinting guys have cut around the tint material with a blade and cut straight into the perspex. It doesn't look nice and that perspex screen isn't cheap and a bastard to change.

I know they aint as quick as previous models but lets face it still quick enough! I was going to get the windows done but wheels are first priority. Only dissapoiting things is handling feels wobbly round corners at higher speeds. oh well still great on drive :0

Thats down to the amazing rear H beam axle. New product training told us a solid rear axle is more stable at speed than independent rear suspension. Nobody really believed them though, it was blatantly used as it was a cheaper alternative.
The FD2 has independent rear suspension, but to be honest, the two cars are not even close. Different body, chassis, suspension, brakes, interior. The only thing the FD2 and FN2 share is the badge.
The factory don't carry out much in the line of wheel alignment, they tend to just bolt it all up and hope for the best. But to be honest, we only tend to get alignment problems with CR-V, Civic usually aren't too bad in that respect. It could be worth going back to the dealer and getting them to check the alignment, it might improve things a little if its out of spec.
Don't be afraid to abuse that warranty, thats one of the reasons you bought a new car.
