What did you do to your Type R today?

[KHVT90]

Got some CF pieces for the door trim. Waiting on some more

That looks great! Might I ask where you found those?

anyone know where to get this black piece from the mirror leading up to the headliner? I gotta hide my radar wires

I thought this video would be helpful to those who might be trying to do the same thing that you are doing. This does seem pretty involved but I think I will eventually be taking this on in the future. Piercedasian does a really good job of being thorough and has part numbers in the description so we can order the same parts from our local Honda dealership.

It's just held down by 3M tape? Is that what holds the stock plastic down?

 

[jinderC]

center speaker?

Yes. The centre speaker swap makes a big difference.
As does swapping out the lower door speakers!

 

[evans609]

nope, the oem plastic is clipped on. This just sits on. Havent had any issues yet, seems solid enough so far

Going stealth mode to avoid unwanted attention. Plugged the holes with white Gorilla tape. May plasti-dip over it if it collects too much dusts.

I'm going stealth mode to make it look like a regular hatch to draw less attention. Wing is permanently removed for now. I've removed the front and back R badges because I don't want people to steal them. The rear H was covered up for the same reason so I plasti-dipped it instead of removing it by breaking the pegs.

The final stage will involve pin-striping (black) over the red on the wheels and aero package. Did one wheel already.

To each their own but damn way to go to cheapen it. You should take a hammer to it to get the full effect.

Should be able to get it from Honda. One came with my auto dimming mirror wiring harness, that I ordered from my local parts dept.[/QUOTE]


This should be it. I searched for a 2017 Civic EXL which came with the auto dimming mirror.

New Addition

 

[Andjoo]

Installed my $50 MB Quart Sub. Along with the center channel upgrade, I’m quite happy with my audio now. There’s enough oomph from this sub and factory amp to satisfy my needs. (Max volume I listen to is 19-20...)

Had to go ahead and knockout a fender trim/cut to stop the rubbing. I'm running 19x9.5, +38 Rays Gramlights 57Transcend's on 255/35/19 Indy 500s and Swift Spec-R springs. It was rubbing way more than I expected and this was a much easier "fix" then I expected. Took a little over 90 mins with primer and paint on the cut metal edges. Too easy and nothing rubs at all now no matter how hard I drive it.

 

[TypeSiR]

Installed Acuity base bushings, rocker, and centering spring. Shifting is even more precise right now. Love it! Before the Acuity, I already got a weighted shift knob to improve shifting feel. Centering spring has clear plastic tubes on both ends; don't remove per Acuity support.

Stock shifter = 8/10, weighted knob = 9/10, Acuity = 9.9. There's still room for improvement as I left out the shift cable bushings due to more complicated installation (needed to remove battery, air box, and charge pipe), so I'm leaving this to another weekend. Will also add Amsoil MTF in the near future (already bought 3 bottles).

Old parts removed. Didn't take picture during the installation as I was sweating under afternoon heat. Food grade grease included. Yummy.

Car feels even faster now after Hondata, FMIC, new grille, and shifter upgrade. Removed factory bumper and door protectors (foam stickers) and took another pic.

Installed some sills look and quality is great

This just drops into the factory sub hole? You got a link?
