Met up with a local 10th Gen civic owner and we swapped wheels today. I’m looking to trade in my Civic at the end of next year and was trying to find a set of OEM wheels before I decide to do that. Sad to be losing my Avid wheels, but they’re going to a great owner who has big plans for his Civic build! I like the refresh they did on the 2020 sport wheels.

Trying to patiently wait to get past this winter, but, it's not easy. Took a pic of my anthracite color wheels today, and that color is perfect with Cosmic Blue.

I had a 1987 Acura integra 3 door with the rear wiper and i had louvers... they were made with the wiper in mind, never had an issue - sold it with 275k miles after 15 years.
Sounds like an opportunity to design some in CAD and try 3D printing them!

You'll have to make further reviews on the stuff you ordered from them. I've seen a lot of those pieces on ebay and on the link you posted, it looked like "picked up off a truck" prices. Have you received any other parts from your list?
Alright so since you asked and i know a few other folks also are into this kind of stuff...today i received another item and it's 66% great...let me explain!
So this is the order i placed on AliExpress...inexpensive:

This is what i received:
Honda Civic 10th gen What did you do to your Civic today? (II) 1605294568250

See how they are 2 different packages...keep this in mind it's important.
The lower part...it's crap...it's made of plastic it's impossible to bend and i broke it when trying to put it in place even the shape isn't perfect, it's shite:

BUT not all is lost because i quite like the fit of the upper parts, those are a soft rubber and the quality is great overall and it stick extremely well too (impossible to remove now)
And why the honda logo on my wheel always looks pink when i take a pic with my phone?

I'm building my gtman style Cosmic Blue "Si" one part at a time. ? What's funny with this color is I hear a lot of people on the forum saying they love it and surprisingly a lot of people that say it's the worst color.

My original plan was to buy a PMM hatch. The day I bought my car, I looked at the PMM hatch and the Cosmic Blue Metallic EX-L side by side and CBM won.

Great color choice on that upcoming si :headbang: i personally think you have the best color! NOW if the Type R came in that color ? as much as l like my car i will never get another black car! so hard to keep clean.

Cosmic blue is definitely one of the best cws. When I bought my hatchback, I almost got the CBM ex... until I saw the dealership 20 mins away had the sonic grey pearl hatch, was a wrap after that. I wish CBM was available on the si.

Received my Ktuner from forum member Jonnysuicide and flashed the Phearable tune. Only took it for a short test drive on Map 1 but I think I'm gonna need to have a lawyer on retainer :rolleyes: Shifting seems much improved.

This weekend, I'm going for the Perrin RMM inserts, got some Acuity parts for my Type-R shift assembly (Center spring & base bushings).... Also got some 0w-20 Ultra Platinum and Mobil 110A filter, but I think I'll hold off on the oil change for a bit more...
I will install the Perrin RMM inserts and give them a spin for a few thousand miles. If they don't fit the bill, I'll remove them when I change out the oil... Oh, and I'll install the Type-R Subframe brace I got as well.
Anyone interested in pics? these are all pretty common mods... Question is, will I tear apart my interior to install the shift assembly this weekend....

Shit, I wish the hatches came in that color. Dark “midnight” blue has always been my favorite car color. It’s so rare to see it these days.

With help from the guys @Discount Tire I got my new tires installed. After much debate I decided to go with the Nitto NT555 G2 in 235/40r18. To me they seemed like a perfect balance of performance, treadlife, and price. After driving around on them for awhile, I think I was 100% right. They feel similar to the stock Continental ProContacts, but way more grippy and they ride slightly softer due to the higher sidewall. I’m really happy I went with these. They’re great for a spirited daily driver.
