Today we installed a K&N 17-21 HONDA CIVIC TYPE-R L4-2.0L F/I TURBO REPLACEMENT DROP IN AIR FILTER. We just acquired our CTR late Dec 2020. I was looking for a quick easy upgrade. This upgraded I notice the the increase airflow and enjoy BOV sound will driving.

It is neat such a simple change gives some good feedback sounds.

I had the K&N too but switched to the dry AFE version. Made me think without moist oil filter it could suck in more and they claim up to 1/4 more air in vs stock.

I couldn’t tell and diff in performance or sound but feel better (and poorer) for trying.

Good and simple choice to start out with without having to remove too many parts. I watched a video showing different gains between drop in filters and complete intake upgrade. The K&N filters gave some really modest gains and yea it does change the intake sound up a bit.

I think it may have been my top 5 mods when I too first got my 2020.

Installed the Proper OEM FK8, BLACK lugs. Check out my post in the wheel and tire section for the proper part numbers.

Loving the flat look. I have the other ones that have a nubbin on the top. These look way cooler

After I had seen these, I made sure these were the ones I ordered. Lots of confusing info online.

OEM RIDGELINE lugs, you know, since they never actually came on the FK8
Do you mean black lugs? When I bought mine in 2019 it came with the black lugs. Wierd. Oh yeah and one of the 5 was a locking lug if I recall and the pouch the "key" sat in had the Honda logo.

Dealer installed and I'm sure you got charged for them too. Cause OEM FK8 are the chrome lugs. My 19 came off the truck with chrome lugs.

Well yes they were a dealer installed accessory. I'm just saying they came on my fk8.

Installed some Suma sidemarkers, wish I didn't buy these and got the JDM ones or even the Depo ones as these fit horribly. Both sides have gaps towards the front, damn.

Yeah man I was a beta tester for these before these released and I said the same thing about gaps. Ended up running them only for a couple weeks and they also leaked. I am currently running depo 911 style and seem to be a lot better quality.

Figures they are the most talked about and posted on Youtube, I'm guessing they were given out free for marketing purposes. Do you have a link to the ones you have? I might just switch, thanks

I've had mine in since november but here is the info.

So both are supplied by Unique Style Racing and I have bought many parts for my other cars from them.

But instead I ordered my Amber's through eBay since that are cheaper there.

The link is where I got the amber/yellow led ones.

But if you go to this link you can get the white led version.
