Refreshed 2020 Civic Si

Where was that listed?

For the record, I paid over $1500 for my OEM '16-'18 Touring LED headlights for my Si at HondaPartsNow.

On that note, I prefer my '19 Si over the changes shown here, but I don't like that I paid more than double the amount of money for less than half of the new features they're adding onto the '20.

Looks like something odd going on with Honda's part list database...

There are two "headlight assemblies" listed - the ones with the higher price appear to be incorrect.

How do you install it? Glue? Double face tape?
Is it permanent?

The ones I bought on Amazon came with the double faced tape already on the insert and ready to go. I've had mine on for about a year and I don't see any sign of them starting to let go.

Best $7 on eBay I’ve ever spent!! Love that little CF decal.

I actually like the piano black, but I’d love to have that little Si logo in that spot. Any ideas? I can’t seem to find a mini-logo, and all I see are CF versions of that little decal, like what you have.

The wheels look... beefy? They look like they should belong on a CRV or XUV.

Yea man I'm on the fence on the rims. In some ways the old ones look better. I just like the fact they're unique to the Si and the black gives it more of a sports car look vs a regular civic.

the best deal would be if they were a no cost option so you could get either one.

I like the black wheels better than the old ones. Don't like the gearing change. The additional safety electronics are just a nuisance. Still no Nav like Canada and Mexico, but Googlemaps is better anyway.

Well I like the "red eyebrows" over the instrument cluster. Many of us had at one time put red piping around our dash trim to mimic the Type-R trim styled dash. The red piping got faded and I just didn't feel it anymore, so I removed mine last fall.

I had tried putting less trim around my dash, but with just the Type-R to compare it to, anything less then the Type-R pattern looked "incomplete".. Thankfully Honda has made a style/design decision for us with the "red eyebrows". I pulled out my piping this afternoon and installed my own "red eyebrows". This is one of those times when less is more. The abbreviated red trim sets the Si apart from the other trims without the "in your face" red attack of the Type-R interior, It gives my Si a sense of being "special" without being "too much".

The addition of Honda sensing is fine. I think that it is good for highway drives, and for those who don’t like it they can just turn it off. The only thing that would bother me is if it has to be turned off every time you start the car. Is this the case?

If it's like my ilx, you'll only have to do it once per driver and it'll stay off.

Just in case 10 spokes weren't enough, they went ahead and added another 5 spokes

Let's see...I have LED bulbs (low, high and fog), I don't care for the new "style enhancements", I don't need sensing, and stock rims are fine until I replace them with lighter forged wheels. I'll stick with the '19.

I'd take the Honda sensing, LEDs and final drive. They can keep the seats and bumper. Still iffy on the new rims too.

This is my take, too. Don't much care about the "audio enhancements" either, but that might be fun to play with. Overall - it's more or less the Si I've been waiting for since MY2018. I'm planning to pick up a 2020 by the end of the year.

I'm sold on the refresh. The headlights, sensing, and wheels are all just what I've wanted. Not really a fan of either bumper so I guess I'll take the new painted areas.

Has anybody ordered one yet or talked to a dealer about it? I'd really like to get one with the summer tires but I suspect most of the ones that are just "on the lot" will have the all seasons.

The SI's go on sale Sept. 6th. So you should be able to build one then.

I know for the 2019 model year, Honda stopped offering the Summer tires as an option. They instead offered it as a dealer accessory (for way more than the $200 upcharge to swap).

Not even sure if the 2020 is going to have any options like HFP or anything. Probably only random accessories like mud flaps, door molding etc.

Shorting Gearing is a lame way to add acceleration “feel”. Comes at the cost of MPG. No thanks

Artificial engine sounds? Why Honda why???? Why not just change the exhaust slightly.

2018-19 FTW
