Hey wizkid ,kc here, we have same color different wheel combination. I do agree the color is quite nice, growing on me but nice nun the less. Today I put in a couple personal touches on mine!!So glad I went with the 2017 Civic, especially in this gorgeous color. No mods yet, but I'm definitely looking to personalize it a bit.
Just washed it today after a snowstorm last week. Noreaster forecast for tomorrow but I just had to clean it.More pics. This is a color that seems to look very different in different light!
Did you have to remove the bumper to just replace that center grille? I like the idea of keeping the chrome above the headlights. The splash of red really makes it pop more too! I'm debating on whether to plastidip it matte or just replace the whole grille itself.Installed OEM center glossy black grille, Modulo spoiler, and red stripe. VTEC side decal.
Exhaust tips, OEM window shades.
Yes, the bumper needs to be removed as some of the grille fasteners are on the backside of the bumper. It may be cheaper to plastidip the grille but that doesn't give the gorgeous glossy piano black appearance. Indeed, keeping the chrome above the headlight is striking; it can appear like DTR lights under direct sun reflection.Did you have to remove the bumper to just replace that center grille?

Was it just one piece you had to buy?Yes, the bumper needs to be removed as some of the grille fasteners are on the backside of the bumper.

No, the purchased grille set comes in 4 pieces, plus the Honda H badge. I replaced only the center 2 pieces, and kept the 2 above the headlights.Was it just one piece you had to buy?
NICE!Picked up my cosmic blue ex-t w/ sensing yesterday.
