What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

[stingray]

Double checked, and the first stripes were a little off center, so pulled the off and put new ones on. They are centered

Minor fitment "issues," but nothing to raise a stink over.
The fronts, when I dry fitted them on the doors, lined up the aft end, and the point on the front was about an inch high off target following the curvature of the door. Simple workaround: lay down the top edge of the visor, lining it up with the curvature of the door and "roll" it down to flatten the rest of the adhesive against the door. It doesn't seem to be under enough tension that it feels like it's gonna spring off the door and fly off. In fact, the fronts are on there solid. I grabbed it (while stopped at a red light) and shook it like mad. Didn't feel like it was going anywhere.
The rears, curvature was perfectly fine, but it's short by a hair. I'll let the pics speak for themselves of how "off" it is. It's really not much. Only noticeable if you're looking for it.

link on these?

I bought a spare from the local recycler. Recommended by the dealer. Not for a civic, but the holes line up, fits in the well and was $100.

Does your car have the storage area for the tire? Some models don’t t even have the spot to put the spare. Like the hatchback sport and type R don’t because the muffler is mounted where the spare tire well would be.

Choose the MG Style. I'd also hit up @procivic before ordering since you're in Canada and maybe if there's a forum discount or anything. The code they gave me when I first inquired about visors didn't work on these ones, but I figured it wasn't enough of a discount to cry about. That, and they're pretty active on the forum and seem like good people

yes...take the styrofoam out, and there is a hole for a spare. Including the lockdown threads

Oh ok well then you are in good shape. Not all civics got the spare tire well. I wonder if a spare tire is an optional thing now? You know like if you look at all the options your car comes with, and “spare tire” might be in there. And the people without might pay less for a can of fix-a-flat and a little pump.

my Si has no spare. I tried to get one from the dealer, and he said get one from an EX Civic, or the recycler. (Either way, not from him) I saw a dealer selling the whole kit, tire jack and all for $175 on Amazon. Never saw a Civic without the well, though.

Has anyone put a new grill on the sport sedan? Every grill I see says it won’t fit properly. Even the one on pro-civic

Anyone see HPJ's new post on 2020 FK8? So glad I haven't touch my grill and steering wheel yet

Yeah so it seems that only the hatchback sport and type R don’t have the tire well I guess

My Sport hatch has a spare tire in its own well.

Does it really? I thought the muffler was mounted in the center and took the space where the spare well would be.

Most definitely. Back when I had mufflers, they were center mounted.

My understanding was cargo room was sacrificed a bit due to the higher position of said spare wheel well.

It managed to not only rain, but briefly snow today. Went ahead and switched out my wiper blades since it’s been a while

Oh ok. Yeah they used little foam blocks to raise the floor. Yeah because normally it would be deeper so it doesn’t have those blocks. But that’s good, at least you got a spare. I can’t drive confidently without a spare.
