I really wish the chrome can be body matched.

Lol, I needed something newer with some more options right now. I'm going to sell the Hatch as I have no need for it anymore. Going to clean it up and then list it this weekend.

you can replace it with the piece found on the 08 EXL and SI. the lower models have the keyhole. the part costs about $100. alternatively you remove it and rattle can it for less, which would be kinda cool since your part has a curve in it.

Ya, I'd rather not have the keyhole. I couldn't find one on my trunk and like it that way. I'll look into the 08 EX-L / Si piece.

Thanks.

^ i thought you weren't going to mod it, lol?

csx center console box, stat.

I don't plan on doing any serious big mods. Just really small things here and there.

Also, I had just read about the CSX Center console cover mod earlier today. I was very interested in that.

dc24me 04-01-2009 01:00 AM

there's not much to do to it anyway. i was done, except i have to buy the rest of the hfp kit to cover up the dent on my rocker panel :burned:

if you are getting the csx console box you might as well pick up the csx glove box light too. it's about $30.

Nawaaz 04-01-2009 05:53 AM

Sweet pick up man! congrats on the purchase!

Stugatts 04-01-2009 07:48 AM

Really nice car...

-Azarro- 04-01-2009 09:36 AM

nice pick up.
LOL at the blang blang on the trunk

MALIKPHD 04-01-2009 10:37 AM

Nice car... I got the exact same ride, but with the OEM skirt package, picked it up in Feb (damn interest rate fell in March)......

I hear you on the subtle mods... getting the HFP Suspension Kit from College Hills Honda... prolly leave it at that until theres a kpro for civic si's ;)

Congrats!

I personally dont mind the chrome, but you can just simply remove it if you like... pop the trunk, 1 screw, 6 clips.. its painted underneath.

The glove box light might be useful. Is the car pre-wired for it? Also, do you have the part number?

I'm still debating whether or not I should buy the HFP suspension from CHH.

I don't hate the chrome, but i'd prefer it body matched.

Nice pickup Tony! I drove Jeff's FA last year when he bought it and boy did it put a huge smile on my face. I love the color you chose.

+1 on the color matching. I think it would look subtle if the grill and the chrome trim was color matched with the rest of the car. Im not sure what honda was thinking with the chrome trunk piece as it seems to be the only chrome piece on the exterior besides the emblems.

It can use a nice drop Tony :P

Buff4Prez Yo 04-01-2009 02:57 PM

nice score Tony

Cheetah 04-01-2009 04:47 PM

Just spend all your mod money on some nice set of coilovers and HID's/Yellow Fogs and your done! Couldn't have chosen a better ride for what you were intending to use it for.

Thanks! I am also not sure what Honda was thinking by just putting that one piece of chrome on the car. Also, White is the only way to go :p

Still debating if I want to get the HFP suspension. I promised myself I won't be doing any serious mods to this car.

Nah, no coilovers for sure. I just want this to be a DD that is fun to drive. I want to get some yellow lenses for the fogs due to how brittle the Honda fog lenses are these days. I don't want them to be destroyed on the highway.

Also, thanks for the compliments from anyone else I may have missed.

:beer:

Nawaaz 04-01-2009 09:13 PM

Promise yourself all you want... lol

I think HFP suspension and kit... and you are set.

I remember meeting up with Jeff and seeing his FA5... love at first sight. I really love the rims these come with stock now.

1sickda 04-01-2009 10:23 PM

love it bro,,, this was the car i was looking at and if i buy a new car this will be in my top 3 choices along with the TL acura i love it man nice purchase was it like 28 000 plus tax or?

Nawaaz 04-01-2009 10:27 PM

lol... Honda Civic or Acura TL?

LOL. This is one of the first things Jeff did to his EL when he got it. True story!

And stop listening to the other Jeff (dc24me) LOL. Next thing you know you've got a slammed FA on 17x8 Volks w/ the Mugen kit on. LOL. I kid.

Congratulations on the new car. I honestly wouldn't do much different if I was in the market for a new car right now. But I haven't started my new job yet, and when I do I still have lots of bills I'd rather take care of first. Otherwise, there would most likely be one of these sitting on my driveway as I type this.

I don't hate the chrome, but i'd prefer it body matched.

34254-sna-003. i didn't see a connector. it's just a 12v and ground. there's a diy where someguy ran a wire behind the glovebox and stuck jammed it with a fuse in the fusebox. a better spot would be to tap into constant power wire going to the dome lights. it will be fused and will be very oem.

for the money they are want for the hfp sus, buy now, think later unless you want to go lower. i'm not a fan of the the wheel gap and from what i understand, the hfp struts are just shorted stock shocks. i'll go the koni yellow route probably once the stocks blow (not really a new mod, wear and tear replacement is my excuse)

the chrome isn't that bad on the back. at least it goes with the wheels and draws attention away from the hideous spoiler. it looks good from the front and the sides, the from the back it looks gross.

ha, ha... wait a sec, wasn't i the first one to remind him that he said he was done modding? slamming isn't practical for a dd and mugen kits are a waste of money especially on a daily driver and will get busted up. hfp kit or nothing!! p.s. my fa5 is not a money pit or will ever be one like the integra.

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking about just buying the HFP suspension and if I use it, great, if not I can always sell it locally. The price just makes it soooo appealing if you know what I mean. :s:

The HFP arent just shorter stock shocks, they are shorter and the internals are different, hence the massive improvement in handling/cornering.
