2012 Honda Civic LX - L (Reintroduction) Dutsguru

Wow! What a transformation. Looks great!
How much did the Si rear bumper put you back? Now you got me thinking about it!

 

[Greg Lawson]

Bumper covers, paint (as it comes from Honda parts center in primer grey) and install was $950 all tax included. I had it done for me because I live in an apartment complex and had nowhere to store the bumper covers or paint them properly.

Man, you don't let the grass grow under your feet. Looks absolutely amazing! Well done so far.

 

[Greg Lawson]

Went with the dark tint or style of the WeatherTech window visors. Again when it's in direct sunlight it does not appear that dark, as seen below. Same with my window tint.

In less direct light the Visors and windows look much darker.

Also added Door Sills from YoSpeed for the Civic Sedan

any plans to lower it?

very very nice updates.... what projectors are those?

 

[Greg Lawson]

None yet, stupid question but does that not void your warranty? That's the main reason why I don't plan on it yet. Even though it is professionally done (lowered) doesn't the dealership consider lowering a void in warranty?

It was a group purchase buy via Team3D over on the other 9th gen site!

 

[webby]

but I know there are various projectors... some being halogens, some are HID, etc. Which are yours?

There's no such thing as a stupid question!
The dealership would have to prove that the parts you put on your car caused whatever problem you may have in the future.

Great looking car. I am impressed.

Sorry about that Webby. They are the replicas of the UAE halogens.

I will keep that handy. I might consider lowering. Up until now I have not really put too much thought about it.

i think it'll look good with a slight drop, maybe the pro kit? that way you'll keep your ride quality as well as about an inch drop

Ya, these are what I want too. The good thing about these springs is that no camber kit is needed, nor stronger struts. So, plug and play.

Here are the projection headlights installed
