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

[jconnway]

Quick question,

when you installed that grille did the regular hatchback emblems fit perfectly or did you have to get a different size emblem?

I bought ebay emblems, standard 16-21 size and it fits fine

I used my Dremel to cut the initial hole. I don't use it too often so it was a little rough so I had to sand it down to be more presentable of a hole. (This dremel)

This is the mesh I bought. I got the 4x8mm Rhombic pattern. It comes in all sorts of patterns, colors and hole sizes. Then I used some JB weld in a bead along the edges to hold the mesh in place. I used some grey JB weld that I had on hand, but I would recommend getting some black to better match the plastic and mesh in case it gets pushed over the edge like mine did a little.

I also purchased an extra new radar cover from my local dealership. Part #7119-TGG-A50 This way if there were any issues you can just swap the new cover in for the old one. I might try doing mine over but take my time with this one to make it look a little neater. Feel free to message me if you have questions!

I stole your whole move, including buying the mesh and the extra cover just in case.

I did go for the white, figuring I can paint black easier than the other way around if I’m not digging it. My mesh is pressure fitted in there with some tape around the only edge that isn’t secure.

Very cool, very custom, I bet it will get some cooler air into the intake and so long as it doesn’t screw up the ACC system it should be good to go

needed to make shipping worth it for crush washers, so added a First Aid kit to the order and stuck it in my cargo area this morning

Looks good man! So far I have had no issues with mine as far as the ACC goes. When it rains and I drive it we'll really be able to tell.

My IAT's have been a little cooler. They usually sat 8-10 degrees above ambient temps, but now they're around 3-4 degrees above so I think it works for sure!

Also replaced my front floor mats since my heel busted through the OEM all weathers. Got some Lloyds Mats.

When May the 4th coincides with Wheels Wednesday, I took advantage of it.

Installed some aftermarket footwell lights tonight.

Tried on a smaller intake filter, messed up the trims, put the proper filter back. So basically wasted my time.

Sad day. Finally got her out on the highway and the ACC flipped out pretty quickly.

Perhaps its because I used the white mesh but I don't see why that would matter.

Was cool while it lasted but I don't wanna deal with warning lights constantly. Switchin back to stock cover when it arrives.

That’s too bad. Looked really cool!

Thanks. It was admitedly a bit crooked, which would ultimately make me redo it anyway. My solution is to paint the mesh black, switch the whole assembly to my SGP 2017 after I get the hockey stick trim painted and put the carbon ones on the white car (SGP has no ACC)

Oh no!

Maybe the white paint they use caused some sort of interference? The cover does say "Do not paint" on it. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out

Haven’t done any mods in a while, but some asshole decided they needed a couple of my wheels more than I did. So, new shoes it is.

Side note: if anyone is interested in two OEM ‘20 civic sport hatchback wheels and is located in the SF/DC area let me know.

SF and DC are near each other? Who knew? Sorry about your wheels.

Thursday: Installed TSP ARP head studs. Used the one at a time method using @MetalKnightCivicHB 's go-by. So far so good.

Friday: ETL CVT cooler using a Hayden 697 cooler. Cooler has thermal bypass built in. So far Temps have been about 25 degrees cooler.

Saturday: Seibon OE style carbon Hood. Fitment is pretty good, not 100% OEM like, but pretty good and better than expected.
