To mod or not to mod?
I have a small problem.. i love my 06 CGP and i wanna make a few mods on it.. but my friend's are telling me that the acura dealerships are real jerks about the warranty.. i just got my car 3 months ago so i've got a long way to go... I was thinking about doing the IHE as well as a subwoofer... do you guys think it's worth the risk? how many of you have had problems with voided warrantys? and any guys out there with mods on your warrantied car?

If you goto a certain dealership and they give you bs about the mods, then go try another dealership.

Unless the modification directly caused the malfunction the dealership cannot legally void the warranty.

They can only void warranty for the part you modded. So for your IHE, you void your engine, cat, and maybe ECU warranty. For your subwoofer, you void your audio and electrical warranty.

It is a FEDERAL LAW. Honda/Acura has jack and shit to do with anything. They are not above it.
