  1. DIY rear bumper fake vent conversion

    I like this question. Though for whatever it is worth, my 2021 Ridgeline has similar vent styling to the most recent generation of Accord, where the vent from the front pipes air across the front of the tires. So unlike our cars, it's not an opportunity really for air to enter the engine bay...

  3. The Italian Civic

    I'll be moving over there during the new year. Do you guys have meets in the Naples area? :) I am trying to learn as much of your language as I can.
  4. DIY rear bumper fake vent conversion

    1 - It is a black mesh filter cover with an elastic collar. Seven bucks, I think, on Amazon. 2 - I slipped it right over the cone after removing the vent cover. Easy, just takes a sec 3 - water won't travel all the way up your intake while you're washing it. Wouldn't worry about that. WOT is...
  5. DIY rear bumper fake vent conversion

    I can speak to that, anecdotally. I have all four vents cut, with a PRL CAI. I drive the vehicle very rarely (7k miles, 2018). I drove through the worst rainstorm of Chesapeake, Va this year in the one day I actually decided to take the car out. Torrential. Freaking awful. Took a flashlight...
  6. DIY rear bumper fake vent conversion

    I did for the rear. There is a small screw on the most inboard part of the panel. Can't get to it from underneath. For the fronts, they pop right off for the most part. Finesse is required
  7. DIY rear bumper fake vent conversion

    I know what you mean, man. I messed up the very first panel. I applied the heat gun to the front instead of the back without thinking. Trial and error! Just be slow and methodical
  8. DIY rear bumper fake vent conversion

    Front and rears done. X-acto knife and heat gun combo. Took forever! FWIW - I used an electric palm sander on the back of one rear panel. It does the job, but it's debatable which method is more effective. Have a great weekend, everyone
  9. Cutting / opening up existing fake vents on front bumper?

    Finished the rears a few days back. Happy, but I may paint the inside area black.
  10. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Finally finished front and rear vents. Long project - couldn't have done it without the quarantine slowing things down.
  11. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Fit enough stuff for two 4'x4' raised garden boxes in the hatch. Love the versatility.
  12. Cutting / opening up existing fake vents on front bumper?

    Yeah man. Just a few minutes of prep add a noticeable difference. Thanks!
  13. Cutting / opening up existing fake vents on front bumper?

    Took the dive on this. Turned out pretty well. Thanks to @OP for the thread. Used -heat gun -#11 x-acto blades with pen -belt sander for back side (finishing) -black spray paint (after cutting, for both the vents and the crash bar behind) Prep -removed front vents -painter's tape over the...

    Cut the front vents because...why not. Real PITA!
  15. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Repainted an old eBay black and silver emblem. Not really old though. Cheap, more like. I'm okay with the end result. Repainted gray and black with acrylic.
  16. What mods should I get on my 2018 hatchback sport with ought it being stupid

    I don't think mods on a non-R are dumb at all! My opinion - tasteful cosmetic / performance mods. No neon lights, no exterior Tyler parts. I go for more of the "OEM+" style. Mild lowering, subtle wheel spacers, PRL intake, 27won exhaust, ktuner, shifter bushings/spring/knob. Just keep it...
  17. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Hey, thank you kindly. This isn't the ebay store I used, but I think this may get you the results you're looking for. They have a detailed fitment sheet http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=223758859337&category=42611&pm=1&ds=0&t=1582843132477&cspheader=1
  18. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Hey bro. I have been checking, and the only time it has rubbed is when crossing some really messed up railroad tracks. One time in 150 miles. More pictures... Don't have any of the inside wheel pockets though.
  19. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Installed FKX Racing 15mm spacers today. Pardon the salt...it just snowed yesterday. I had to shave a few millimeters off the lug pockets on the OEM sport wheels. I preferred this over the 20mm spacers, even knowing I'd have to do a bit extra. It's lowered on H&R Sport springs, but I didn't...
