I was able to get the Depo smoked side markers installed as well as the Alarm and Security System from Compustar. Waiting on the rest of the audio gear to arrive! Time for a wash tomorrow!

how much does the whole set of security system costed you? does the vehicle get lock down?

Not today but this past Thursday had to replace the battery. Went to start the car to go out for dinner and instead had to make a trip to the auto parts store. Any one else have their battery fail in less than 30 months?

Vinyl wrapped a front OEM HFP lip with Vvivid Gloss Black to color match it.

Installed pictures:

Are those sport side skirts?

Are those sport side skirts?

Correct.

Factory OEM Sport Hatch side skirts. Installation was a straight swap. The only minor mod (and it’s optional really), is to notch/trim the front fender liner (where it meets up with the side skirt) so that the side skirt shape matches the fender liner.

That looks sweet! Did you get it from eBay? I saw one recommended by FK7 Civic (YouTube channel) not sure how good it really is... Does your assembled like the real Type R ones? Like constructed by 5 main pieces?

this is the ABS Dynamics wing...comes in 7 pieces..I had it professionally installed..and thanks..1 piece of advice, do not follow the template for install or putting the wing together..it will not come out right...according to my shop..

Its summer here in texas can i plastidip my chrome inside my garage? And link pls(plastidip)

How hard to remove the plastidip?

As long as you lay down about 5 good coats, it won't be an issue coming off. Any less than that and prepare for a pain in the ass job.

I like this look, sadly there is no modern steel for the hatchback sport. Thinking about going with them in black

can the type R be had in a 2 door coupe? (I hope).............

Finally finished installed the rest of the shift pieces.
Now have the shift tower bushings, spring, rocker, tranny shifter bushings, and Boomba short shifter.
Definitely feel the difference now. Stiffer altogether. Much better centering...and really like the reduced gate width. Well worth it! Just too bad 2/3 of the job involves pulling the console apart. Took only about 5 minutes to install the actual parts!

How does this intake sound?

Here is a quick shaky cam video that I feel is pretty representative of what it sounds like in real life. On actual pulls hitting higher boost the blow off valve is a bit different but about that loud still. The blow off noise is as loud as the Cobra but induction noise is less but still audible.

One window is cracked 3-4" to better hear induction noise.
