I know several have bought from them. Anyone had upgrades or warranty work done by them? Just wondering how cool they were. I'd rather not remove any of my mods if I can help it when I finally do take it in for clutch cover upgrade.

The only stuff I would remove, would be anything hindering access to the covers where they will be working.
I do not believe they can deny the upgrade based on modifications you have made, unless they would directly harm the clutches.

I thought you were not going to let them touch it until you had issues?

@Delton I thought you weren't getting this till hell froze over, do we all need better winter wear lol?
Being a service bulletin I don't think mods would matter you should be good. @Eltobgi is very modded especially electronically speaking which would be more of a concern and he flew through but he did take a few things off for the process and they left a couple things as well.

I'm not. Just curious how their service dept is. I've heard some horror stories about other dealers on fb.

True but dealerships vary.

@Delton it sounds like you are only giving us half the story.
Nope that's everything in a nutshell. 3401 miles and still purrs like a kitten. If there was a problem, y'all would know about it.

Still looking for my letter from Honda for that upgrade.
Received mine last week! Lol. You definitely do not need it to have the work done, I am proof of that!

My mods did not prevent the clutch work from being performed! I would just recommend removing anything that would prevent or interfere with them removing the rear floor panel!

Did some snow removal over the weekend and also played in the snow and so far so good!
