The brand was Quiet view. Safelite did come back and do an acceptable job fixing it, though there was some residue on the side window and on the hood. So, they did make it right, at least.
I actually used several different sizes and never found one that fit. I try to be gentle if I use the trunk, since it basically takes me to work and back I avoid it most of the time.
So, I had to get my windshield replaced due to a foot long crack from the edge inwards. There's a lip at the top of the windshield now, the glass installer claims it's a bad windshield. It matches up in the upper corners, but the gap from glass to roof panel is pretty noticeable in the center...
I've seen a couple FB posts that said that site was terrible. Someone claimed they were sent the wrong item and customer service was a pain to deal with. I do love the look of that grille, though. I'd look around to see who made it and try to order it direct.
Sounds like a good idea. After having mine on for a year, I decided to unbolt it, change the crappy plastic nuts out for metal ones (I painted them black), and give the rear window a well-deserved cleaning. One of the metal brackets came off, so I stuck it on with some proper 3m brand auto tape...
I bought a wedge shaped mount from an Civic FB group member. Ktuner clips to it and wedges perfectly into the cubby under climate control. I can easily remove it if needed, with no trace left behind, but it doesn't wiggle around.
I've run TSP stage 1 for a little over a year, and Phearable (without GOD mode) for about a week. 93 octane.
My impressions:
Phearable feels smoother and more suited to daily driving, but doesn't feel as fast. TSP felt like it launched better, and because of how aggressive the throttle response...
Here's a picture of it from the back, I have an aftermarket grille so I dug this one out for research. 2018 coupe. Looks like you'd have a little black square, but you'd have to remove it to unscrew the emblem.
I believe the emblem is mounted to a "SI" shaped piece of plastic in the grille, so it's not going to look great just removing the emblem. I'd recommend just purchasing a grille without the badge and installing it.
In case you missed the other FB comments, this retro fit kit is pretty much untested. They were in the process of installing their first one when they listed them for sale. Eman claimed it wasn't done right based on the pictures.
Competition Clutch sounds promising, so that's what I'm keeping...
I went with 235/40r18 on 18x8.5 with a 35mm offset. Besides scrub radius, you are also widening the wheel base with the lower offset, so it does change the handling a bit. It is very much about looks and personal taste, so do whatever you'll be happy with.
Interested in hearing how this works out. CTR retro is a bit steep for me, but if I'm investing in a new clutch I only want to do it once, so I'll go for quality.
I debated putting spacers on, and wound up saving for wheels instead. It's around $300 for quality spacers and around $1000 for wheels, and I felt the wheels would be a safer option as well.
I knew this simply from trying to buy aftermarket tail lights for my coupe (they don't exist yet). Most cosmetic pieces are for the sedans. It does make sense, as coupes are not really practical as a family car or for cargo hauling. However, due to the absence of any competitors in the compact...
I think with the current pandemic affecting the global economy and manufacturing, it is very unlikely to see any big changes in the near future. When the economy tanked last time, we lost several brands and many models of vehicles. I'm guessing any funds that were headed towards retooling...
