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

[oberstja]

Joined the 90,000 mile club today. At my current driving rate I’ll hit 100,000 before the end of the year

Does the HFP sides come in black or only red?

I believe they are also available in grey now.
Don't think the HFP badges are sold anymore though. Maybe 3rd party on Ebay.

Been wanting to do this for a minute, price is pretty steep tho. Whered you get the pieces?

I got them from a local dealership.
HondaPartsNow had better pricing but they were missing 2 pieces.

Productive 2-3 days. Fixed the mismatched coilovers (I installed them on the wrong side and as such the front sway bar end links broke), put the Whiteline sway end links in, adjusted the harnesses and yes I know I need to get a roll bar at the minimum just waiting on it to get here, mounted the Zex Nitrous Control Module to the since removed battery tray since there's a clearance issue I'm working through, went to a car show this evening and had a friend snap a photo of my Skeleton Juan looking too cool for school, set up my actual nitrous line in a can of NOS because it's hilarious, and snapped a photo of the shitbox before I gave it the bird for the night because she was being uncooperative.

A while back I bought a custom shark fin diffuser lip and I temporarily installed it with some 3M tape but it didn't hold. Fast forward to today... I fitted it with a more permanent solution. Added a bit more of an aggressive look.

where are those wheels youve been hiding for 2 years now?

 

[hfpdohc]

Looking good ?
It'll look even better once you get your wheels on

its been 2 years now......

Bought em last year. I bought them with only 10,000 on my Firestones and being an old guy I have a hard time not getting my money out of the original rubber. Lol

And hey, it's my car and my money so I can do what I want right? I'll be keeping this car many many more years, so there's that, too.

It's a guy in Poland. Nice quality. Does Honda, Si and Type R logo versions too. Matches the stock pedals well.

Drove to a local Cars and Coffee today - Rockland NY. I was pleased to see so many Type-Rs and Si's there but I think I had the only Sport!

I haven't cleaned the car since installing the Whiteline Springs and the 27Won BBK so still no photos but I will say, after driving about 100 miles on the Whitelines, they are definitely an OEM+ feeling mod. The car is not slamming along; it rides similar to stock but much tighter in the turns.

The increased spring rates with the minor (<1 inch) drop make for a mix of comfort and performance. I also think the car looks WAY better, especially in the back seeing how Honda really loves wheel gap from factory. I would say this was my most noticible suspension modification and I pretty much them all so trust me.

At some point in the past few weeks, my passenger side fog light took a rock and is cracked right across the middle.

I'm debating buying another OEM pair, a knock off pair, or upgrading to the OEM LED fog lights. I briefly considered the JDM yellow ones but don't want to commit to the yellow lens and they're about 6 times the price.

I would do OEM led except that I love having the switchback led bulbs in mine so I can change from white to yellow whenever I want. Is anyone here running OEM LED? How is the output?

I have the JDM LEDs on my hatchback. Can’t say the output is great, can’t say I like the price…. But I really like how they look. I think I’m going to buy a set for my si. Just have to build up the courage to spend another $400+ on a set ?

as far as the OEM white LEDs (have those on my si), output isn’t anything great. Can probably find an aftermarket set that’s better. At least the OEM LEDs have a plastic lens (I’m assuming polycarbonate, which is stronger) so it should be able to handle some road debris.

I read that somewhere - that the OEM led is plastic vs the glass halogen ones. I might just wait a while and see if the crack gets worse before deciding. If I can find a used LED set for cheap I'll pick them up.

The output from my stock halogen with Lasfit LED bulbs in them is tremendous. The throw isn't as far as the low beams but they light up road directly in front of the car amazingly well. I know that is more the bulb I have than the lens but still.

I had the OEM LEDs installed when I bought my '20 hatch. They work as well as the LED bulb replacements (XenonHIDS.com brand) I had in my 2017, and now I am less afraid of rocks taking them out.

See my post a couple of pages back where I replaced my daughter's halogen fog light... She took a rock on her '17, and then again on her '20. Easy to replace for a hatch. There are pretty cheap plastic options out there. The OEM replacement costs just over $100 per side for the assembly.
