Played around a bit yesterday. Didn’t really accomplish much thanks what seems to be a ghost knock issue that is being investigated.
Hopefully you find out what's up! On another note, your brakes, did you paint them, or swap to different brakes? Looks sick, on my to do list.

I'm hoping I could haha, and depends if they misbehave or not.
I'm not sure if I should extend the break-in process and use the Honda dealer oil change which is a semi-syn or go full on full synthetic with something Dexos gen 2 complaint.

Works great, nice and sturdy, and no problem starting the car not matter which position the key is inserted. I would highly recommend it.
How do you actually convert the key? I saw the link you posted but how does it work?

Your current key just has a screw in the back and a small plastic tab at the bottom holding it together. Screw comes out, open key. Battery comes out and the circuit board with buttons / transponder is all one piece that lifts out and drops into the flip key shell. Close up the new flip shell key with the guts of your old key in it and take the new flip key to a dealer or locksmith to have them cut the new blade. (You don't use the old blade of your key). Takes ~5 minutes if that.

Silver button on the top pushes in the flip the key swings out and locks until you push the button again allowing you to close it.

The front ones did. I was able to fidget with the passenger one and it doesn't touch. The drivers does for. My drivers one came with a plastic defect, but the eBay seller was super good and quick and has shipped me a replacement already, so once I get it I'll make sure it doesn't touch.
I installed my Visors this weekend as well. I see you have a sport. While installing I noticed a bubble or two in the window trim. Apparently the sport and sport touring got blacked out trim...but the blackout is just vinyl wrap attached to the standard chrome trim. I mention this because I worry about removing the visors now as I fear it'll alter/mess up the vinyl that wraps the trim. Maybe using a heat gun to apply heat as you remove it will help...but that may also affect the vinyl...maybe I'm worrying too much lol.

I removed the thin and narrow 3m tape on the visors and replaced with 1/2" wide super strong 3m moulding tape. took just over 10ft of material. The stock material came off extremely easily by hand. This wider strip and stronger bond should hold these things on well.

Yeah I have a Sport Touring. I actually had to readjust mine after the tape already stuck to them, I didn't notice any bubbles or anything coming off on mine even though I had to really pull the tape off.

Is the tape you have just wider, or thicker as well? I'm not worried about the things falling off, the tape is strong, just the front ones touching the window is a piss off.

Sick! My springs are in the mail. I know the back install is easy, how was the front for you?

I got a gray civic hatch, you think the yellow or white fog light would look good. don't have the false housing, also I am concerned about battery usage and the extra usage.
