D’oh! At least it’s built. Once it ships maybe it’ll go quick. Mine took less than 2 weeks once it appeared in the dealer system as built.
Oof. This sucks.As it turns out, this may have something to do with my woes, and it sounds like I am probably not alone.

Good Luck Finding An Acura Integra Sitting At A Dealership
The past few years haven't been easy for Honda. While rival automakers have found a way to navigate the chip shortage and supply chain issues, the Japanese brand has been forced to cut production at several key factories. Similar challenges have seen Honda and Acura sales plummet; July sales...carbuzz.com
My main takeaway from the article:
"According to The Drive, Honda is struggling to ship Integra stock to dealerships across the USA, with the Southwest most affected. Company officials said problems with freight rail have thrown a spanner into the works. "It's not just the chip supply issues, it's the supply chains, it's the logistics of moving products," explained American Honda's Dave Gardner.
"One of [the frustrating things] is we just launched our new Integra. We can't get the product to the west coast dealers because of the fact there's an embargo with railheads out here because they're so clogged up." Gardner is referring to the BNSF Railway, which reportedly has a shipping embargo of vehicles destined for California.
This will undoubtedly hurt Honda's bottom line. The state remains the biggest consumer of new vehicles and accounts for nearly 12% of new car sales in the country."
