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

[civic_kid]

I was actually going to pay it off this week... from a financial POV, I wouldn’t recommend it... I didn’t necessarily get TOO screwed, but I shouldn’t have done it. When I bought the sport last year, I had my mind set on a used civic, and ended up with the brand new sport . Being hardheaded, and lack of research, I ended up not getting what I really wanted, and it’s kind of bothered me ever since I got the sport. Don’t get me wrong, the sport is a great/great looking civic, I just wanted some of the other extras that I didn’t get with it... so I made it happen now, and am paying for it.

end of the day, I got the car I wanted, in the color I wanted, and am even happier than I was with my sport. My suggestion is to go into the dealer with no expectations, and see what they can do for you... don’t let emotions take over, and be firm in negotiations.

Literally exactly what I did. Didn’t do enough research and didn’t realize the car I really wanted/should have gotten was the Si. I was looking at an Si at multiple dealers thinking it was going to be my future car, but thought that I might as well save some money and just go with the sport sedan. Being that it was my first time purchasing a vehicle and having a car, I was just too excited and caught up in the process that all I cared about was ending up with a car, no matter the trim. Anytime I see an Si on the street I’m immediately envious of the driver lol. Anyways, congrats on the new hatchback and getting what you wanted in the first place. Hope I can do the same soon! Lol

Just received my new clear marker lights that will be replacing the yellow marker light on the fenders. Ordered several other small pieces today. Finished adding some details to my interior red trim.

Finally got around to doing an MTF change and oil change.

Transmission feels much smoother after 42k on the OEM fluid. Switched to Royal Purple SynchroMax.

I'm surprised you waited that long. I did mine at 25k and it was smooth af after that one. I wouldn't recommend going past 30k on the Honda MT oil.

I seemed to be the only one on this board not complaining about his transmission so I was in no rush.

Installed some Rockford Fosgate tweeters. Base Sport, so didn't have any to begin with. Tweeters were 80. Came with passive crossovers.

Ordered the sail panels from College Hill Honda. Came out to 17 dollars with shipping for both.

Sounds much better! Guitar solos are now IN MY FACE.

Washed it! Now time to go back in the garage...

Where did you get the fed grill inserts?

Was inspired by this so I decided to start wrapping my car this is where I got so far I will post more pictures as I complete the front and some of the dash trim. Not sure if I’m going to do the actual dash panel, I guess it depends on how I think it looks

Looking good...any idea if those trim pieces are available in Alcantara?

The vinyl wrap is 1080 3M carbon fiber, not sure if they make a Alcantara vinyl wrap. The trim was not changed, I just took them off and wrapped them up. I pitched the wrap in a 12 ft by 1 ft roll and cut to my liking

Looks great! How hard was it tucking in the wrap around the window and mirror buttons?

Installed rear trunk brace and torsion bar...check my build page for the info definitely feels a little tighter.

Thanks, not to hard at all. Tomorrow when I put on the fronts I will add some more pictures on how I cut it specifically. Here’s a small diagram. The red is the window for the switch, yellow is where I cut specifically, blue is the actual switch that controls the window

I just did mine at 60k. Finally started having a very minor 1st gear shift. It’s back to normal.
