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

[Hats_N_Hoodies]

Quick wash and Caruse Duckbill install.

Can I make a suggestion?

I currently have the newest version of the Caruse installed as well. I used a small bead of automotive adhesive silicone along each side of aero on the tail light and then all along the back on stock spoiler. This will not only help prevent lifting on corners but also provide a better weather seal as long as you leave the two sections where tail light connects to the stock spoiler open for water to drain. And as long as you don't go crazy with the silicone it can be easily removed if you take the aero off. Its actually easier to remove than what ever 3M residue is left if you do pull the aero off.

Yes! I do have these still on my car so it has been about 9 months now and there's no water or condensation in them. I do live in Socal, these haven't seen much rain, but I wash my car about once a month and I do spray these with the pressure washer and there's no issues.

I think the only thing to note is that I used the original O-rings and at the time my car was only ~8months old. So checkout the condition of your o-rings before swapping them out.

Thank you
I install mine yesterday , i bent a little the metal like on the video shown by them
They set flush really nice better than the morimoto. This one have a really nice design

Is that the V2.5 duckbill? Any issues with the corners lifting over the turn signal lights? That was a notorious problem with the V1. If yours is holding solid, I may switch mine out.

it is the 2.5, when i installed it, they seemed like they were a good fit and i havent had any problems as of now but only time will tell i guess. it has been super hot and mixed with rain but they still look good to me, that was one of my worries as well when i bought it as i had seen allot of people talk about it with the earlier ones.

Did a 3rd round of CVT Fluid drain & fill with AMS oil, oil change with Liqui-Moly Molygen 5w-30, other little maintenance items, and a good wash finally.

what rear lower valance is that. it looks killer. it looks like the one from the sport or ST but without the exhaust cutout.

It actually is a 2020 HB Sport diffuser with a UK-spec OE center cover that I paid way more than I should have. But makes it look clean for any LX/EX Hatchback without the center exhaust.

Made some clear taillights for someone semi local today! Took about 6 hours. A lot faster than the set I made myself recently. @blueandslow on ig

I had the V1 or 1.5... an early one. Was basically not attached in the corners immediately so if yours is holding on, its prob gonna stay. groovy steering wheel cover also

Love stuff like this, super unique mod.

Question, what carbon piece is that? I feel like I've seen something like that before but it was listed to only fit the sedan...

I'm having hard time even locating your exhaust. Is it like a turtle and hiding in its' shell?

The carbon license trim is Seibon listed as only for Type-R, but works on the regular Hatchbacks. I took a chance with it not knowing, but it definitely fits.

I regret not getting that! I have this piece waiting to be installed instead:

I was looking at that one too, not a bad choice. I figured I could be a guinea pig for the Seibon piece and if it didn't fit would've probably gone the APR route.

Funny thing is, I called Seibon to ask about it possibly fitting a regular hatchback and they said sorry Type-R only. I was studying the hatches between FK7 & FK8, the license trims, and all the mounting points to guess it was the same fitment.

I went APR over the Revel GT one, I thought that looked too, I don't know, tacky almost? Not tacky but in that direction. Like a stuck on piece of carbon just for the sake of adding carbon.

Admittedly the APR is just going over the trunk not replacing something but I think it looks more like an installed component.

I definitely like your piece the best of the three though.

Lol, I just saw this post. Basically yes, think you can see the stock exhaust when driving behind the car...
