Has anyone done a wrap on their car? If so how much did it cost you? I got quoted for $2400 over email, but was told to bring it in shop for a more accurate price
@Alejoviejo sounds about right.
I've never done but my company does

That's the last of it until I can afford the type R hood. $700 from honda but if I wait I'm sure things will start popping up on eBay now that you can buy type R parts now

I don't think that's such a good idea fitting a Type R hood. The channel underneath the hoodscoop is supposed to direct air (and rain) to the vents at the sides behind the wheels. A non-Type R doesn't have those vents.

The Type R hood's hood scope is just used to increase down force, which decrease the under bonnet pressure. Also wheel well vents are used to create a air curtain around the wheel wells, which is where a lot of dirty air flow generates.

But it would look oh so nice...unless eBay gets to work on a carbon hood and not that one with 20 vents on it

Those vent does not connect to the air to the vents behind the wheel, they are used to decrease under bonnet temperature and aerodynamics purposes.

Installed the fog lights. Took me about 4 hours to do. Had to drill the hole. I was getting frustrated. Electrical was a pain with slipting wires and such. Finally got it to work. I’m exhausted, lol. Beats paying $300 for parts and labor at this one shop I got pricing from.

Will post better pics later...

Here are some pics, will try to take better ones this weekend, overall I am extremely happy and felt accomplished after I finished installing these. had to take the bumper off and drill the hole, not a big deal at all...

Link to where you got these ? was it easy to install ?
I got them here, http://hondapartsnetwork.com/ kinda slow shipping but oh well. I have a Sport Hatch so I ordered the ones for an EX-L Hatch.

Took about 30 mins to install both sides, super easy as long as you're careful. I used this thread: http://www.civicx.com/threads/diy-front-door-panel-removal-and-speaker-upgrade.1442/

Gently pry up (using plastic tools) the window control portion, start with the corner near the arm rest. That will just pry up, unplug the wiring from it.

There is one screw in the back (as seen in picture 2 on that thread), take that out. Then remove the door panel starting on the rear bottom corner, there are 9 little green tabs, gently pop them out. I had 2 on each door get stuck in the metal and had to remove them with a pair of pliers carefully.

Once the door panel is off there are 3 screws holding the back of the armrest, then two screws under them that hold the front of the armrest you only have to loosen the front ones don't remove them.

Install is reverse, super easy just be careful not to ding stuff.
