What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[kimtyson]

Will this also work on cars that are automatic? I see yours is a manual.

Yes. Same engine bay. It will work for you car.

Did my chrome delete finally. I think I made a few minor mistakes on the passenger side because I was doing it directly in the sun. So I moved my car where the passenger side was on the shade side and continue working. It wasn’t really easy for me. But I managed. It was hot to being in that Florida sun. I started about 7ish and just now finish around 10:20am. Ugh.

Most cases, only one that will notice the imperfections is you. Unless someone else walks by and knows that’s what you did, and looks close at it.

Looks good enough to me. Good job.

Here’s where I messed up on but thank you. It was easy applying it, especially when you’re not in the shade much.
**Edit**
I ended up using left over vinyl I had to cover up that bottom piece that was sticking out. I couldn’t stand it being like that so I had to fix it

Yeah, unless someone waking by is inspecting your work, they probably won’t even notice.

Did you use a heat gun or blow dryer while installing?

Who needs a blow dryer when you have a Florida sun? Lol yeah I used a blow dryer. But it’s still not perfect. But I’m okay with that. I’m not a perfectionist by any means. I’m just mad I had to stretch the vinyl a bit and cut off excess. I had a little bit of vinyl overlay on some parts but it’s better to be safe than sorry. I ordered the pre cut vinyl from Jets Vinyl store on Etsy.

Finally got my Wing installed today, not the best photos but I’m so happy with how it came out!!

I got mine just yesterday, I asked them NOT to wash and wax it so I could avoid any chance of swirls. Today I gave it a thorough wash and a coat of wax. It looks stunning, at least for the moment.

I was looking at this seller. I might buy the civic black cover from them! The other parts I want to do I’ll cut the vinyl myself!

Note: only fits 2016-2018 sedans

They lasted nearly 2 years before they started getting scratched. I recently replaced them with real carbon fiber ones that look incredible.

Thanx for the response. Strange it only fits 16-18. What's different about 2019 sedan it wouldn't work.
It won't work for me cuz I have the sport sedan which has the center exhaust.

Changed the glovebox light to an LED. Only halogen bulbs left are the rear turn signals and visor vanity lights. Probably won’t bother changing those out.

So the only turn signals that are LEDs on your car are the fronts? Did you have to install a resistor to prevent hyperflashing? Or do the LED bulbs you went with have a built-in resistor to do it?

Hardcore mod update: Today I swapped out my air filter for an AEM Dryflow lol

Oh yeah, I also threaded in a new screw where I accidentally ripped the head off a bolt on the OEM filter box. Really Honda? You couldn't have used a stronger captive screw (that you somehow managed to torque down to a million psi?!?)

Yeah places who do any work when they check your air filter will gun it down pretty good, the torque spec is very low for them! I have the aem as well and I found it a great buy

Cleaned it at 8pm Sunday, since I missed last week’s, felt awful yesterday, but it makes for a shit start to the week to get into a dirty car.

I used Aero Cosmetics waterless wash + Car Guys super cleaner, both for the first time, and I think they worked well but will know for sure when it’s light out.

I have a Sport Touring which already has LED for front turn signals and headlights. Yeah if I put LEDs for the rear turn signals it would need load resistors.

Has anyone seen these before?? I though let you couldn’t put a decal on your sunroof? Lol guess I was wrong haha. I’m sure I can find one somewhere else that doesn’t change $50.
