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

[whoisJSR]

Thanks man! I'm really liking how it's turning out. I've got a ways to go, but I love this car. Easily my favorite build I've ever done.

The louvers are probably my favorite add-on looks-wise, not too expensive and makes the coupe look so good IMO. I got complicated by an older gentleman who told me after he asked who made them that he has a 9th gen SI, and he's going to get some of them now haha

Installed the College Hills Horn (link below) this morning. Finally! A horn people will take seriously!

2016-2021 Honda Civic Horn Upgrade Kit - 3802 (collegehillshonda.com)

I see a bunch of YouTube vids showing you need to remove the entire front bumper/grille to install this. You can access the horn through the passenger side fog light cover garnish. I found the video linked below to be the most help with that removal.

2020 Honda Civic Si Fog light cover install | JDM | Cars | TunerDrip - YouTube

One tip not in the video though; Before you start jamming a pry tool in, use masking tape around the painted bumper to prevent making any scratches. (I learned that trick from a different video when installing my tail lights.) UPDATE; I saw another video where the guy used a microfiber cloth to protect the paint.

The new horn is a tight fit, but uses the existing location. You'll have to bend the electrical connection tabs straight to make it fit with the horn pointing downward as the instructions say. Also, The the bracket bolt sits just low enough so that the intercooler pipe prevents using a socket. It was tricky using an open ended wrench, but not to the point of cursing.

For $18, this is definitely a worthwhile and easy swap!

Bought this ebay lip spoiler last year and just put it on today.

Heck it all. I'm buying the Swift Spec-R springs. That gap is too much for me

Looks awesome! It’s just plug and drive like other bulbs? Will they fit Sedan? (I assume front should, but rear lights looks different on Coupe)

Great looking ride man; is that the Ikon motorsports grill? If yes, how easy was the install?
What vinyl did you use to wrap the tail lights?

It’s the honeycomb grille off of ProCivic.com. It was a fairly easy install since I had the bumper off already to install morimoto xb headlights and fogs. A little bit of a fitment issue as it doesn’t look flush like OEM, but only I would really notice honestly. The tail lights are from HiRevSports. They’re smoked.

Installed exhaust tips; this is how it should've come from factory!
Dipped the Civic logo, planning on dipping the Honda logo next.
