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

[NoHonor937]

New badges are in. Had to get two sets because coupe uses two front badges.

How much did it cost you for custom?

$39.99 + shipping. I think shipping is dependent on where you live. You can get generic ones from them for $35 with like their general designs: "CivicX", "Si", "Accord", etc

Picked up and have my fixed wheel back on the car. While it was on the spare tire, I'm impressed that the ride quality doesn't get much different, perhaps I'm being cautious.

Just a tip and its free. Did this to my 2017 Civic.

The led light between the map lights, the hole is very undersized and barely gives off light. Compared to my Odessey that has a much bigger hole and gives off a nice light at night.

On my civic I took that out, drilled the hole bigger and now lights up my center console and shifter much much better. Hardly gave off any light at all before due to the hole being too small. If the assembly that holds the led is loose and falls out, as mine did new. Bend out the clips that hold it in and it will snap in tight after.

Switched out my side markers. Really digging these. First time doing any sort of changes to my own car, so I went with something easy for the first go round.

Did my sidemarkers too today!!!
Got the Helix ones from eBay for $40.
Major improvement. Hated those ugly orange things!

That's exactly where I got mine from. This looks so much better than that, and was super easy and quick to do. I just got my Civic like a week ago so I'm still learning a lot haha.

Ugh the helix side markers are 70 bucks with shipping to Canada. They look so good though. I assume they are plug and play?

Finally got around to installing my acuity items. Rocker arm, short shift adapter, spring and base bushings. Also installed the slammer! Pleased with how everything came out. Crazy how short the throws are now, so smooth. I’m really liking it!! Still have to do the linkage bushings, just ran out of time. Forgot to take pics of the acuity stuff until I almost had center console back together. Duh

Thought id share the LED light install I did this week. Really pleased with the look of the car inside and out.

These LED lights have an active cooling fan in the heatsink. Plug and play, hardest part is zip ties to hold the control box in the engine bay.

How is the build quality on these lights? They look great, just want to make sure they perform great and last as well.

Yup, plug right into the oem bulb socket!
The ones I bought on eBay came with a YouTube link http://tinyurl.com/civicxhelp that explains a quick little mod that’s needed to make them fit way more snuggly when the tabs are seated. Super easy and did both sides in just a couple minutes.

Build quality is awesome. I was surprised actually. Usually stuff on eBay can be hit or miss. I was hoping they would be nice and I’m not disappointed at all! Totally worth the extra money spent vs standard smoked lenses IMO.

I've seen a bunch of people on here with them and that's why I ended up getting them. The plastic housing is definitely a more lightweight material than the OEM orange markers, but they seem quite sturdy and well put together.
