Finally!! OEM splash guards for the Hatchback Sport

[BlueCivic]

Hi All, I too ordered a set of splash guards, but here in Canada (or at my dealer), they already installed the front so I have a brand new spare set for the front (including new screws that came with them) if anyone is interested. please PM me.

The Honda Part No. is 08P00-TCG-100

How much did you pay for the set at your local dealer?

Well, I didn't want to chance painting them and having the paint screw up once winter it and look all scongey. I installed mine anyways just to see how bad they stood out against the gloss.

I guess being a WOP car, it's not as noticeable with the higher contrast against the paint. The light sucks because overcast but even in bright sun they don't really stick out as wrong looking unless you're looking directly at them up close.

Hey guys - I finally got around to installing mine and wanted to post some pics. Like I mentioned before, I wanted to paint them gloss black, so I just used plain old Rustoleum gloss with Rustoleum clear coat. They definitely look black, but unfortunately the texture keeps them from being as glossy as the molding on my ST.

Also, I didn’t want to drill into my car, so I instead used some 3M auto tape to tape a couple spots on the fender in addition to the wheel well screw and the under side body clip.

I got a full set on eBay for 54us shipped to the states.

Hey everyone I'm thinking of getting these soon but I've got a few questions (some might be dumb questions but I just want to make sure I get this install right)

What is the margin of error when cutting the hole for the bracket? Or does it have to be close to 100% of the template outline? I'm guessing some of you traced the outline of the template onto the plastic and that's how you cut it out? (I wish someone made a step by step video)

When drilling into the 2 holes in the back, I'm assuming you use the pushpin to mark where to precisely drill?

What tools do I really need? I looked at the instructions and it asks for things like a deburring tool and file. Some of them seem useless

What Philips screwdriver do I use?

It also mentions a stubby one is that like a flathead screwdriver?

Again sorry if some of the questions seem dumb if you need me to clarify please do tell me

You have a link? Everything I've seen on eBay is more then what I see on College Hills Honda website

- The stubby is still a Phillips, but it’s only like 4” long (as opposed to a normal size screwdriver). Here’s a set of two on amazon: STANLEY 62-000 Stubby Cushion Grip Screwdriver Set, 2-Piece https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A5P5QIQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i0dABbE77F294

- The other Phillips you’ll need is just what I’d call a normal size screwdriver (like 8-10” long).

- If you’re nervous about the drilling, you could do what I did and just use 3M automotive tape. Just cut a couple 1-2” pieces and stick them on the back side of the mud flap where it will make contact with the bumper/fender. That’ll also give you the option of removing them later and not having holes in your car. So just to clarify - you’ll use the screws/body clips on the inside of the wheel wells like the directions say (for both front and back), but you’d be taping the rear ones instead of drilling on the part that touches your paint.

One more tip - for the front wheels, turn your wheel all the way left or right (depending on what side you’re installing), and you’ll have plenty of clearance to get your screwdriver in there.

In the firsthand few pages there are pics of what a few have done instead of using the bracket in the lower hole.
Ditch the bracket, pick up a 1” stainless washer or plastic, a 1” neoprene washer, and a speed clip. Shoot a screw through the lower hole of the guard, through the inner fender liner (behind splash guard) , the neoprene washer, stainless washer, and then the speed clip. It’s plenty stiff and no cutting

I was actually able to get a blind shot of what the washers look like. It looks like I should get a stainless speed clip too.

I did without the drilling too. Took me maybe 10 min to do front and back. Even without the bracket, it still feels pretty solid. The bottom part where the bumper garnish and body panels holds up and then the one screw near the wheel fender is plenty for me.

Total noob and I dont want to cut corners so to speak (willing to pay extra to have professionals install it) so I'm probably going to have them installed at the dealer; but I was wondering and have looked on google to little/no effect: what do you use to paint it gloss black? Could you provide the specific product/brand? Thanks!
(I'm probably going to get the turbo sticker off ebay and look into tint as well...I might look into interior lighting under the dash where it can turn on with the door open and change color, with summer being almost over I'll probably hold off on anything big like new wheels until next year, or save up now for some kind of black friday sale)

Those offered in Japan are factory painted in gloss black which makes more sense in so many levels to match with the rest of the car. Part number 08P00-TGG-000.
