New steering wheel has yet to arrive but in the meantime, new exhaust and diffuser are installed! Type R OEM exhaust and ABS dynamics type r replica diffuser painted in glossy black. Every time I figure Iā€™m done adding more parts, more things pop in to mind. I think a Seibon hood may be Next... til then going to enjoy the car as it sits especially with the updated tunes from Hondata!

Thought Iā€™d post a thread detailing my build so far. To get you familiarized, I bought my 2018 Civic Hatchback Sport in polished metal metallic from my local dealership in August of ā€˜19. It was a leased vehicle prior to my ownership with only 12000km on it.

Fast forward to the spring of 2020 ā€œcovid eraā€ as my car remained bone stock until then. I slowly started getting acquainted with modding my car, it started with some red JDM logos, red pin striping on my trim, and upgraded headlight bulbs. After that, I decided to get some 20mm H&R wheel spacers, and at the time was happy with my OEM rims. Was happy with the way the stance was after throwing the spacers in. I got a DTO Duckbill spoiler from eBay and love the way it looks on the hatch without making the back end too busy. Following this, I had purchased HRS LED taillights and Morimoto OE+ LED headlights, and boy did that change the look. Super pumped with the functionality and general aesthetic they provide. Next was the rear diffuser, which I bought straight from the dealership as itā€™s the standard diffuser on the 2020 models. After that was all said and done, tax return came! So naturally, it was burning a hole in my pocket and I got a set of Avid1 AV-20 wheels in matte black, 18x8 +45 (reminder I have the 20mm spacers).

so whatā€™s next?
waiting on some parts to come in, Covid really bent me over for wait times on this stuff. I have Swift Spec R springs on route, Abs Dynamics Type R lip that will be here soon and heading for a glossy black paint job, SPC performance camber arms, LED Smoked side markers, and some other small odds and ends. Iā€™ve pretty well finished my summer checklist, and performance parts are around the corner.

Where did you get the rid pin striping for the trim?! I have a 2020 sport touring hatch that it would look killer on

a 20 minute job start to finish, only thing thatā€™s omitted is a bracket/brace near the first resonator. Super easy. Only other mod I needed was the Type R replica diffuser to accommodate for the width of the exhaust
