I found a good mount from Scosche to mount the Ktuner. I had it in a vent clip but it kept becoming loose. This mount is for iPads and it is very strong. Also, I got my phearable 1.5 tune. Haven’t loaded it yet. That will done on the weekend.

After the chrome delete and speaker install I posted earlier, I then proceeded to scratch the shit out of my wheel. The irony is I park close to curbs to keep my car from getting scratched lmao. Might pick up a replacement wheel off ebay I guess. Dunno if I can live with the mistake.

Been there, done that, but with black wheels. I now have the scuffer as my spare tire (black sharpie hides it pretty well). People seem to say the exposed aluminum can be buffed back to smooth. Haven't seen pics of any of those success stories. Maybe someone will share.

Also, you may want to ask the community if anyone is willing to part with one for a decent price.

OEM wheels are never cheap, but if you go that route, look on hondapartsconnection.com or one of the other internet parts shops. Usually about 1/2 -2/3 of the local dealer price.

Ok ill look into that. I def need a spare tire anyway, so that's not a bad idea.

I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat. At home and at work, I park on parking lots and ALWAYS park in an end space (as close as I can to the curb) to stay away from other cars. Unfortunately I've had my fair share of scrapes on the lower front bumper trying to get too close.

No pics of it but got my College Hills Honda horn upgrade in last night. Wasnt to bad. Took off the vent instead of the whole bumper. Doesnt really seem louder but much deeper so it carries more. I couldnt really test it though. Didnt want to bug the neighbors. For $18 its totally worth it though.

Completed a full leather steering wheel wrap. I wasn't satisfied with the stock leather steering wheel so I sourced a nice perforated leather wrap with red stitching and TDC stripe. The hardest part was tucking the leather edges under all of the plastic panels around the wheel spokes.

4hrs of tedious stitching and finessing, I think it turned out pretty well! I love the sporty look and feel of the leather. This kit came from China; I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the leather (smells so good ?). Included all tools/materials/instructions required. Cost was $80 plus my 4hrs of installation. Not for the faint of heart, but well worth the effort.

Link below if anyone wants to do this mod. The supplier offered to substitute the leather with suede, PU, different thread & leather colours, etc. You can get it made to your desired specs.

Finally got around to attaching a eBay HFP knockoff lip I got a while back. Its subtle. Maybe a little too subtle lol. Might end up switching it out for one of those track style lips from Procivic. Install was pretty straightforward. Measured the centerline on both the lip and the car, then just eyeballed the rest. Supplied my own 3M tape + washers for added support.

Put some tweeters in my sport hatch
Nice. I had those in my '17 hatch. They sound really nice but I couldn't pull the highs up enough. I went with Alpine reference in my '20 hatch. Still running a JL sub though. Can't really beat those!

Can you install this if your car doesn't have it initially
