No issues so far. I was definitely skeptical of it at first and would check the suction of it every 10 miles for a little bit but have yet to have any issues. The mount for the back tire will push down on the roof but the size of the suction cups are big enough to where it doesn't leave a dent in the roof which I like. I have driven roughly almost 500 miles with the bike up there so far and no issues yet. And its a big plus cause you don't have to install a traditional roof rack which is more of a pain to remove and install and doesn't scar the paint like a trunk mounted rack! They are definitely a little pricey but I for sure would recommend.

Thanks for the reply. My fiance and I both want roof racks or hitch racks so we can change up who drives on our bike trips but don't want to pay for two which would make the seasucker a good choice since it can be installed quickly on both cars. Thanks for the feedback!

Not today but over the weekend I ditched the cloth seats for katzkin. First time doing anything like this but the install wasn’t too bad

Installed Hyundai Genesis Brembo.

Hey guys, this air vents trim line is damaged and I want to repair it but I do not know how. I don't really want to disassemble everything. Can anyone help me? I found for example a red trim line but it sticks under the original one and doesn't cover it. I saw the video on youtube how to disassemble and to replace the trim but I do not want to do that neither.

Anyone know where I could get a black overlay for the Honda emblem as well?

I've looked for the past year and never found any for the actual Honda H emblem. They are selling them on Ebay now anyways for 15-20 bucks shipped. I've bought two sets and both fit fine.

Their website seems to not work. None of their products are displaying on their website. Where'd you order yours?

They closed shop few weeks ago unfortunately.

They sell pieces you can just stick over it. There is actually an oem Honda one. But the China ones I have were around $20-30. Not like $180+ For Honda.

Vinyl wrapped my H badge, changed out sport badge and painted exhaust tip. Only 1 badge left and rear chrome delete is complete.

Installed SiriMoto phase 2 strut bar. It even came with a decal for +5 hp lol!

Where I can find/buy it, do you have a link? Do you have it in your Honda?

I installed a wireless TPMS sensor! The stupid new rotating sensor sucks! I had a flat tire and it didn't alert me. The only way I knew I had a flat tire was when I started to drive it started making that loud flat tire noise lol!! I'm happy I didn't mess up my wheel and cut the tire up like I did on my cL9. It works well!

i finished a good chunk of my audio upgrade!

center dash speaker upgraded to JL C2-350
front doors upgraded to JL C2-650
fast rings/sound deadener added to the component woofers.
Stock subwoofer swapped for Kicker CompRT 8" in the factory enclosure
Punch PBR 300X1 compact mono amp providing 300 watts at 1ohm to the sub.
LC2i installed - makes the bass much, much cleaner and louder!
ACR1 bass control knob added into one of the dummy switches in the honda sensing cluster.

i dont even know if i want to do the rear doors know. the front speaker upgrade literally made such a tremendous difference, it may not even be worth the money!

I just installed the same center dash speaker - love it!

How was the front speaker install? Any tips? Curious on how you wired and mounted the crossovers

my bad - disclaimer - i didn't do the install myself but i know how they did the install and can help with some tips...

ill try to get a picture after work. the crossovers are mounted in the car as opposed to in the door - one is hidden in the left side kick panel and the other is tucked up out of sight behind the glove compartment area. i had it installed like this both so i have access in case i want to change the crossover frequency settings but mostly to avoid damage due to water.

using the metra 72-7800 wiring harnesses will help to not cut factory wires. if i sell my car one day, i want to be able to revert to stock speakers and keep the JL's.

fast rings really help to reduce vibration between the woofer and door as well as direct the sound into the main cabin. also - you will need speaker mounting brackets. crutchfield's website will tell you which brackets you need depending on your model.(i have a sport touring hatch)

some people who have done the install say that sound deadening really helps reduce road noise and increase mid bass. i will likely add in sound dampening at some point, but even without it, the sound is substantially better than stock!
