I already have emblems, but may buy the grille.
Did you have to unscrew and reuse the OEM emblem "mount" (1 screw behind I think)

Thanks

Thanks for the response. I did find that tow hook on eBay and was wondering if build quality was worthy of an actual tow if needed.
FWIW I purchased the JDM Sport tow hook for a 2017+ Civic off ebay as well and it didn't fit, the rod they sent has the wrong thread pitch compared to stock. The seller is insisting this is what fits the car so working through return shipping and refund now. :rolleyes:

If you compare the rod they sent to the stock rear tow hook, the stock one (which fits the Evasive adapter for the front) is a bit smaller.

If anyone has a link to a decent quality tow hook that does fit, LMK...thanks.

where did you get the bolt to mount the rear tow trap? I've been searching around but no luck.
This won't be any help so sorry in advance. I had a bucket of old bolts that I tried until one worked.

Will this adapter work with the Sport model as well? I know that both cars are prettttty similar but I'd appreciate a confirmation! Thanks!

I can't help it, I know I'll get flamed for this...but why do you guys need tow hooks? Do you crash a lot, or does the car stall? Curious

Some track events actually require you to have front an rear tow hooks installed before going out, so that if they need to pull you out, they can do it quickly, rather than finding another solution to clear tge incident and holding up others track time.
ah thanks. I've only done autox lol. Good to know
