Hi ladies and gents,
After recently getting my hatchback, I have been looking to do a number of things to it that I haven't yet seen on the interwebs, so let me list them for you here. I'd also like to take this opportunity to kindly ask for a separate hatchback forum, as I think it's different enough to the other models (built in England, turbo engine only, big reinforced hatch area, bespoke sport exhausts, etc..).
That's all I can think of for now, and for those that made it this far, I'll give you a picture as a treat:

- Roof rack - I haven't seen any offerings, from Honda or otherwise, offering a good roof rack so that when the time comes, I can strap sheet rock,2x4, luggage, etc...
- Front plate alternative placement - I don't want to mount a front plate, but here in Nanny New York (as in nanny state), they frown on that with 120 dollar tickets. Problem is, there is no tow hook in the front bumper, so where to put the plate???
- Removing rev hang without jeopardizing the warranty - you know what I mean, I know that Hondata etc... won't actually show up if you flash back to stock, but if the engine grenades for whatever reason, Honda can still say "nope, tampered ECU, no warranty for you" I'd like to know/see a solution that won't mess with the warranty if the K04 decides to blow, etc... etc...
- Aftermarket centermount exhausts - having a sport, I'd like to see/hear some aftermarket exhausts made for my car. I know it'll be a matter of time, but... let's go aftermarket, make some pipes!
- Short Shift kits - Shifter is pretty light, would like to see some short shift kits for it. Maybe the Type R stock shifter will work out here?
- Pedal box adjustment plates - The brake pedal is about an inch higher up than the gas pedal, that needs to be fixed in order to have proper heel toe operation.
- Splash guards that are plug and play for the Sport model
That's all I can think of for now, and for those that made it this far, I'll give you a picture as a treat:
