I finally got to give her a wash after several months and also tried Turtle Wax ICE seal and shine. So impressed with the results: deep gloss finish and super slick. And I found a great spot for a pic with nice lighting. Loving this shot today.

SI wheels looking good. Thinking about throwing some of those, or the sports on my ex hatch.

I am looking into buying a cold air intake for my Civic Hatch LX. I'm debating between the PRL Cobra, 27WON, and AEM.

Any notable differences in sound and or actual performance between all three? Which do you recommend?

Nice!

I'm always on the lookout for artwork like that for a pic or two of my car or motorcycle parked in front of it. Best I can find is penises and gang tags on the sides of trains. ? Lol.

I have the AEM intake, sounds great. Made the engine much louder at certain points and there were no codes thrown.

PRL seems to be the most popular for the hatch, but I personally have the AEM on my LX SEDAN. Very small difference in power but the sound is exceptional.

Dont know much about AEM so i'm not commenting on that. PRL is pretty well known for the sound and performance; however, the CAI might be a concern whenever you drive thru a big puddle so keep that in mind. 27WON is convenient since you can make it into either a SRI or a CAI; the airbox is enclosed so you might not get much sound vs. PRL if sound is what you are looking for. Other than that, it's a solid intake.

Since we quarantined, I added my likewise shifter extender and knob as well as some fresh new wheels and beefy tires ?

next my next upgrade will be swift springs. Or maybe the HKS SSQBOV for turbo sounds hehe ?

Black chrome emblems installed...

Next up is covering up the fog light chrome, waiting for that stick-on part to arrive (previously tried spray on vinyl, but that didn't last long).

I too am currently looking to cover up the fog light chrome because it just doesn’t look right to me. Do you mind me asking why the vinyl didn’t work out and what part did you order to cover up the chrome. Thx ??

I'm thinking of painting the Type R diffuser gloss black just to match the overall car. I will use this gloss spray from Home Depot, but will I need to have a primer coat before the actual paint, and will I need to purchase a clear coat as well?

Are you going to run a middle exhaust?

Yes, just need to head to a muffler shop nearby but all are closed due to the virus. It's going to be a muffler delete and then have them custom weld it to be a center exit, just need to find a good pair of exhaust tips.
