The fire blanket that’s inside the hood . It does not protect the paint it’s for noise and for when engine catches on fire the clips melt and the blanket chokes fire . I have taken mine off my 2013 Si never had paint issue been doing to all my cars . In Canada with salt all it does collect salt and crap . And if my car would catch fire I won’t be watching to make sure the liner kills the fire lol . It’s just so much cleaner . This hood is heavy as it is.
I don't see how a fire blanket could possibly collect salt, especially not on the 10th generation Civic. The skid plate underneath stops it along with the inner fender liners. I live in Kentucky, and we have salt on the roads. I just changed my oil a couple of weeks ago, and there wasn't any salt on the bottom of the engine let alone the fire blanket.

I popped open my hood the other day and the whole engine bay is covered with a light coating of salt. I'm thinking it blows in through the front grill area and any opening through the engine bay down to the road. Here in Minnesota they've been known to salt the roads like it's going out of style so I'm not surprised. Probably not as much of an issue elsewhere.

I drove it under perfect conditions. Sunny, 50 degrees. Spirited highway driving. Man, it is a fun car. Even with minimal mods, it is such a tight chassis and lively drivetrain. I am partial to Honda, but they sure know how to make a driver's car.

After driving roughly 100km since original install, I re-torqued my garageline wheel spacers today. Happy to report they are nice and secure, didn't budge at all.

Had all type of warning lights flash in the dashboard. Have an appt tomorrow but from what I've read on here, it looks like I need to get a VSA update. Only have 3k miles so not very impressed with this car so far

Don't worry. Same thing happened to me when I crossed that threshold. Let me guess, parking brake doesn't work either?

Bronze wheels and no windshield vinyl, and then we'd be talking.
If I did what anyone else wanted, then it wouldn't be my civic build would it?
