Jonnys Honda Sport Touring Build Thread

Some news with seat brackets... They wont work.
I'm going to return them and make my own brackets.

I could drill new holes into the Buddy Club bracket but I don't want to weaken the metal bar.

Which size JDM emblem did you get and from where? I've been watching ICBMotosport.com and their JDM emblems are only for the FC1-4 bodies (sedan and coupe), not the FK7 (hatchback).

What did they quote you when you installed the cambers, and springs on your car?

BTW, really enjoy your post! Keep the updates coming!

So you'll have to measure your current emblems, then reference this parts list (provided by @skstyle )

Labor was $350. I also bought a 3 year unlimited alignment package which added another $100.

I had to keep an eye on the installer, he forgot to cut the bump stops and I had to remind him about it.

As a novice at this, why did he have to cut the bump stops?
Ive owned several cars but never had the thought to drop them since my last car was a Subi wrx and was fine with the height

"Trim" is the correct term.
If not Trimmed, then the car wont go as low as the new springs will allow because the rubber bump stop on the shock is in the way.

Ok, so I found the emblem thread, and also per @skstyle, these are the measurements of the OEM Honda emblems on the stock hatch:

hatchback:
front - 117mm x 96mm
rear - 103mm x 85mm

So did you go SNW-003 for the front and leave the back OEM b/c SYY-003 is too big?

That would be the way to go but I went E11 on the front and made it fit. The rear I have the snw-003 but haven't tried it yet because the car is currently being wrapped.

Update on the car wrap.

More to come this weekend:

When you say, "made it fit," is it a tight squeeze? I like the look of the emblem filling out the space for it opposed to the little gap left with smaller emblems.

I appreciate the support! I won't answer your question just yet @CombsCivicHatch .... Let's wait for the end result!
Car is now delayed a day. Car wrap will be done tomorrow afternoon.

Splitter/skirts/diffuser is taking longer than expected. It is scheduled to be complete by Friday.

The emblem was too tall and did not fit in the space. So the bottom is lifted every so slightly.
What I did was built up 3M double sided tape at the bottom so it would adhere.
