2014 C9Si Sedan

[taffy]

Is it just me or does the 13 si rims looks better than the 14?

Ya, it's you, I hate my '13 wheels

 

[cTefanovak:]

No immediate plans to do this....but it sure would look good...

Give it some time, the wheels grow on you, they did on me!

It's been like 6mos, I hate machined wheels with black paint on the. I they almost completely ruin the car for me.

No, I get it. When I first got the car I was not a fan, at all. I too don't like machine/black wheels usually, it's why I am not really a fan of the 911 Turbo Wheels(below). That's why I am eyeing the BBS wheels! The OEM's obviously didn't stop me from buying the car, it's an easy fix, just get a new set! I do get a lot of compliments on the car and oddly enough on the wheels, like when I'm at the gas station pumping gas, random people will compliment them.

Ya, I hear ya, some wheels are a must IMO soon.

don't do the dual exhaust lol

 

[cTefanovak:]

LoL. Yeah no real plans to do a dual exhaust on this car. I do think the OEM exhaust on the 2014 sounds damn good for a stock setup.

Not to mention the engine/induction sound is great too! Check out some of my other rides/vids on my channel.

Looks great

Looks great

Thanks!

UPDATE on the wheels. I did go with the 18" BBS wheels to replace the OEM ones. They are on a slow boat from Germany and should be here 3weeks into Aug. I know, I know.... a German Wheel on a Japanese car, but hey, Volks on an M3 are OK then this should be fine, right? lol

CAN....HARDLY....WAIT!!!

Anybody consider doing a retro fit of the LED DRL foglights found on the Civic Hybrid? Thoughts?

Saw pics from someone else that swapped out to those fogs about a month ago. I think they just changed the whole assembly tho.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Replace the lower grill assembly. Looks like it is only about $125 or so for the grill. I'm gonna look for that thread to see what is involved with the wiring.....

Yeah I think it was just the bottom part. You can probably get the fog wiring harness from a dealer that would have all the necessary components.

Theirs someone who already has. And the taillights.

yes lol

Finally got the Tanabe strut bar. Decent quality, especially for the price. Install was pretty easy, in fact, easier than changing light bulbs on this car. lol

Still waiting for the BBS SR wheels I've ordered.....

 

[JAYBLS]

I really like those BBSs you ordered. Can't wait to see them on the car.
