  1. Morimoto V1 Issues

    I have a pending RMA for mine. They come with a 5 year warranty so be sure you have a receipt. The V1 are no longer manufactured however rumor has it a v2 is due for release very soon (was told mid April a few months ago). Updates can be found on this post...
  2. Morimoto xb headlight availability

    I'm not speaking with Morimoto directly, I just have an active support chat with a vendor for my existing headlight RMA. April is the most info I have. I've been checking their website every now and then along with their Instagram and Facebook if they shared anything. Nothing yet, maybe in a...
  3. Morimoto xb headlight availability

    Waiting on my RMA set for Morimoto XB lights and I'm told the following for a v2 ETA. "Those just finished their final test run and should be released mid-April." No confirmation if they are what gclancer posted but given they're 11th gen styled, I'd say that's likely. My thoughts, I don't...
  4. Official MODERN STEEL METALLIC Civic Thread

    Man that was a while ago (3-4 years)... but to answer your question, yes Plastidip. Aluminum Metalizer on black base. I don't remember how many layers of each but I'd start with 3-5 black base, then 3-5 metalizer coats. Let about 10-15 min to try beween coats. The first layer of each color is...
  5. Backup Camera Alternatives

    So far, the last (3rd by dealership) replacement from 2019 has been holding up decently. I try my best to keep it clean in rain or snow. that being said, I haven't searched in a while and seems there's more aftermarket options available now so I'll keep it in mind should I need to replace it...
  6. What drone. I mean what? I can't hear you over the drone!

    My current setup is similar (catted RV6 DP and front pipe). Cold starts can be pretty loud but it quiets down but still noticeable where it's not obnoxious. If I pay attention, I can hear a little drone on the highway but turn some music on and then I don't notice it. I thought about getting a...
  7. Morimoto xb headlight availability

    I was only able to get this done due to signs of moisture inside the headlight. No guarantee if they'll do a trade in for headlights with no issues. The rep I spoke to stated Q1 release of 2024 and "These will be upgraded versions that are similar to the new style civic headlights." I'm...
  8. Video of catted downpipe with stock exhaust

    2017 Civic Si 1.5L RV6 front pipe and catted downpipe, stock cat-back. Cold Start. Video ends abruptly as my friend was going to rev it and I had to stop him. Warmed up after a cold start. These were recorded less than a year of installing and I'd say the cold starts have gotten louder but...
  9. What's your SI looking like today?

    Swapped back to OEM headlights a few weeks ago (from Morimoto XBs) while waiting on a warranty return. Today, rotated the winter tire/wheel set before it becomes winter here.
  10. Morimoto xb headlight availability

    No update on my warranty yet however I swapped back to OEM headlights last weekend. XBs will be boxed up until the new product is released so they can be swapped.
  11. Morimoto xb headlight availability

    Didi up a quick mock up in my head what I think (NOT OFFICIAL) if 11th gen styled is something to go by. Figured I'll share it here too. I like them.. not as aggressive as the discontinued model. Time will tell when they're officially unveiled/released. Edit, I just noticed I had incorporated...
  12. Morimoto xb headlight availability

    Just to update everyone on my warranty with my current XB lights. The contact with Morimito realized I didn't order the lights direct through them so they informed me I needed to contact the seller. A bit of back and forth, they stated a newer model and "similar to the new style civic...
  13. Morimoto xb headlight availability

    They replied back asking for the sales receipt and images of the headlights showcasing the issue. They stated the headlights are discontinued and all they can offer is store credit. I asked if there's any V2 on the board (not that they'll be able to tell me if there is, but worth a shot) and...
  14. What's your SI looking like today?

    Gave the Si some needed attention after being neglected the past few months.
  15. Morimoto xb headlight availability

    I just put in a ticket for my XB headlights. Discoloration and possible moisture inside the housing. Fortunately, there's no electrical issues. If these are end of production not sure what the solution may be.
  16. Best Downpipe on the market?

    I have a RV6 catted downpipe & front pipe installed for the past 3-4 years and so far, have been lucky at inspection. I've noticed I need to flash (ktuner) back to factory and drive the car for about a week prior. Last year, I managed to pass the inspection then as I'm driving away from the shop...
  17. New York Acuity Shifter Kit, Bushing, Boot Color, & Alcantara boot $450

    Not interested in a trade, sorry.
  18. Anyone contemplating selling?

    At the moment, I'm holding on to my 17' Si for a bit. I'm hoping to find a weekend car this spring depending on prices and availability (S2K, Miata, 86/BRZ, New Nissan Z?). Once I have that, maybe a few years after, I'll trade in my Si for a small crossover (HRV?) that's EV or hybrid.
