Rain guards

[steve m patino]

OK so I got a 2015 civic si, white sedan. I live in the Chicago area and don't plan on lowering the car, because of snow and stuff. I really like how the rain guards look, but I always see them on lowered civics... Does anybody have a white non lowered si, sedan that has rain guards installed so I can see what it looks like?

Do it! Automatically changes the look of the car and reduces wind noise in the cabin when rolling with the windows down.

Mugen ones are sold specifically through Kingmotorsports

Just adding a different point about the "rain guards". Mine "create" noise that wasn't there before........ When the windows are "Up".

Knowing this, I'd still want them, for what they're good for. Parking and leaving the window open an inch, or as @ClearCutSi said, for riding with the windows down, and other useful weather control apps.

I don't know if different brands may control the noise better or not........ Just a heads up on what I've noticed. But I usually have my sound system on and the wind noise is not noticed.

They are OEM. I followed the DIY, and still managed to mess them up (haha), but was able to fix them.

I put the pins in crooked, but contrary to the DIY, I managed to pull them out and re-insert them. There are two pieces. The sleeve and the pin themselves. I seperated the sleeve, inserted them first, then slid the pins in. Worked fine and everything is aligned.

Just wanted to add that, in case anyone ran into the isse I had.

And one more thing. I don't blame you for not lowering @steve m patino

I lowered my '12 with the Eibach Pro-kit. I had them installed at the dealer (after hours - mechanic special) and were fine for awhile. It developed a noise in the right front while turning at low speed. Took it back two times ane could never figure out what was wrong with it. Drove me nuts...will never lower another car. I left my '14 stock and I will leave this one stock too.

That is because the Eibach's are defective. I had the same issue and they refunded me. I spoke to Eibach and they admitted as to having problems with the springs. The engineer explained they are unable to fine the proper coil material for this application. I went with H&R and they are perfect. No noise so far at 5k miles.

After two trips back to the dealer, 2 other local shops, no help from TireRack or Eibach....I had enough. Traded the car in.
