Installed the Tanabe strut bar and both front and rear red Honda badges. All three are pretty much just for aesthetics.....if anyone tells you otherwise, they are blowing smoke up your ass (I'm old and have 30+ years of road course racing experience). ;) Quality on all three components is excellent.

I actually like the EX-T wheels better than my EX wheels.
I agree. :)

Say what you will about the 17" wheels on the EX-T/EX-L... they're definitely unique. I actually like them better than the Touring wheels just for the uniqueness. The sedan/coupe Touring wheels are nice but they look kinda generic.

Totally true, I'm impartial on the EX-T wheels, got a set for my winter tires, find the touring wheels just remind me of those cheapy RTX wheels you'd get at a Walmart or something

Coming together really nice! I'm dying to get a nice set of wheels like those Bavars, red emblems, and tempted to remove the little chrome Civic badge!

Installed a Wolo horn from College Hills Honda today! The adapter they send with it makes it a simple plug and play upgrade. No more embarrassing horn that no one can actually hear on the road :thumbsup:
Was it a pain to remove the front bumper? Considering I commute into nyc on a daily basis, I need a more formidable horn.

Finally got around to painting the calipers. Red calipers? Instant HP boost :D

I made one mistake, but overall, it wasn’t very difficult. It was more of a pain in the ass to jack the car with my craftsman floor jack.

I disagree they look generic. I think they look better than the EX-T or EX-L wheels. They look generic to me.

What was the difficulty level and how much louder is it?
it was pretty easy, the bumper is held in by clips, horn itself is louder and deeper 116db 410hz took me about an hour, I broke 2 clips but I had extra from my old Honda.
