Damn might need to find some adjustable arms then!

Thanks for the tip. I just ordered a UR strut tower bar from you last week, part of my new suspension mods... hope it gets here soon

Great experience a lot of work (2 days) but super relieved the major scratches I had are no longer visible all I need now is a good cleaner for my rims and windows, any suggestions?

What was so terrible about it? a couple clips and a couple screws...where did it all go wrong? ?
removal wasn’t horrible, I ended up not taking the entire upper side pieces (side of the infotainment) off completely at first, and it was a PAIN in the ass to put back. Ended up damaging the carbon fiber trim a little bit.
The second is easier though!
lol @ “second”

it's good to see that those scuff marks can be taken off the clear coat...i have some minor ones on mine and my wife (also black 2020 civic) had some more major ones and i worked on her car first (in case i screw up LOL ?) and i too was able to make some small miracles happen...

Yeah you do need to start by pulling off both plastic sides...after that it's a piece of cake.
Might wanna get a set of those:

For the plastic sides i use the big one with a thin microfiber cloth, i jam the cloth in between the tool and the dash/trim that way i can pry without damaging anything. And also, once you removed them once, then will be a bit easier on you on the next one.

Yeah, I actually did it twice. The first time to put on the various Acuity upgrades, and the second time to swap out the Si shifter with the CTR one. Biggest issue I had the first time was not realizing that center console armrest had to be down to remove the back section, I scuffed the plastic pretty good, but hey, no one rides in the back seat anyway, so no worries:headbang::dunno::eek::hmm:
