Zl1 makes a really nice low profile version and practical as well. ZL1 Addons Front & Rear Standard Rock Guards - Compatible with 17-19 Honda Civic Type-R (Front & Rear) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TMPQWG4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_TzncGbRAHX1A5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
They are the Britax Frontier and Pioneer I think. They are large but they can work for a very long time. They may have been replaced, but check the install manual to make sure they still mount that way.
This seems to be the replacement, if you look at the fourth picture you can see how the anchor attaches to the seat at the corners.
Something quieter than OEM is what i am looking for. Are these the correct pair for the Type R?: https://www.amazon.com/Hawk-Performance-HB453B-585-Disc-Brake/dp/B00KMUEFIQ/ref=sr\_1\_3?keywords=hawk+5.0&qid=1669611580&s=automotive&sr=1-3&ufe=app\_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840
I have mine in the same spot but with threaded suction cups holding it in place. 2 up top and then the bottom is wedged between the glass and dash. I live in a state that it is technically illegal to have it anywhere other than mounted to the front bumper but law enforcement doesn't seem to care about it being in the glass. Have had them walk right up to me and talk about the car with me.
Stock pads should be fine, the only thing I Would really try and switch out is your brake fluid. Its cheap and isnt hard to do, its nice insurance to have.
If your car gets a little warm you can blast your heater and it should help but being in december I would imagine it shouldnt be terribly hot out there.
Other than that, just go out and have fun. Wouldnt hurt to check your tire pressures and make sure they dont get too high. Youll get funky wear.
One of these is nice to have
No rubbing. I'm running Michelin pilot sport 4s. Wheels are Motegi mr133 18 x 9.5 with a 45mm offset. link they are discontinued though.

Its actually not hard at all and im sure there are write ups online.
​
but essentially, you just run the hardwire line along the windshield, tuck it under your roof liner.
when it comes to your piller, if you take a flathead, maybe wrap painters tape on the edge of it so it doesnt scuff the plastic, behind the little airbag logo there is a bolt there. remove the bolt, and it lets you pull the pillar plastic back a tad, you can do this to continue running the cable down towards the dash.
when youre at the dash, you can run the line along the side and then the underside until you meet the fuse box.
Go buy one of these - https://www.amazon.com/ADD-CIRCUIT-Mini-Profile-FUSE/dp/B00EO5EI7S
Find a fuse you want to use, typically one that gets power once the car has been powered on, because you dont want to run the Uniden 100% of the time. People can chime in on which fuse is appropriate to use.
Remove the fuse, replace it with the add a fuse, toss that fuse on the backside, and then you can use a butt connector and wire strippers to connect the incoming line, and the add a fuse so that you get power.
​
These instructions might seem daunting if youre new to it b ut its really not that bad. Any friend that competent enough to do basic wiring can help you with this. and save you some bucks.

I bought this one and it fits well and has the straps if you like that. A little pricey but it's very nice quality imo.
This. Covercraft is the way to go. I have had mine since 2018, fits perfect and makes a huge difference in interior temps. Here's an Amazon link to the one I have
Covercraft UVS100 Custom Sunscreen | UV11440SV | Compatible with Select Honda Civic Models, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MF9PM6I/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_R1R1FQPZ9XZH3TW1BK5C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
A cheap one; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K4K8P9W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
it's got a annoying yellow "Goodyear" label on it. But it is easy to take on and off and I just ave it on the passengler side for when he rides with me.
They're cheap covers from Amazon. They work perfect for me and I liike that they don't look like crappy canvas material. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0728C52ZV?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_9YHV4VH58AY9TM199V08
I would not look at stuff that prevents swirl marks as its literally impossible. You should be asking stuff that brings out the shine because it'll hide the swirl marks. I use Car Guys Tire Shine it works extremely well and lasts a long time.
You likely have lint, dirt, and dust built up in your phone's charge port. Get a cleaning kit from Amazon and clean your port out.
I had this same issue and now also use port plugs to keep the dirt out. Since I charge my phone wirelessly, these things come in handy. Especially when you keep the plug holder on the cord and all.
Just my 2 cents, but I can almost guarantee the lint is part of your problem.
If your phone disconnects because you moved the cable, then you need a better cable. Look for something that is USB-IF certified.
something like this should fix it.
Just got sonax. The fk8 groups on fb recommended it.
Sonax (206141) Upholstery and Alcantara Cleaner - 8.45 fl. oz., 250 Milliliter https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00BBWJ16U/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_JYENSBR4BP0R4M20MJTJ
I wear Mechanix gloves driving, keeps it cleaner and helps with the grip. Friend explained the Alcantara wheel was designed for driving with gloves.
Use sparingly, test in a small hidden area prior to overall use. Follow directions. I’ve used this on previous vehicles, never used it on an FK8 wheel though, LINK
If you want something you can pop on and off quick look into this
https://www.amazon.com/2017-2018-Release-Removable-License-Bracket/dp/B07C9RMY3N
​
Youll block off a little bit of the IC, but its a quick on and off setup.
I use the Oedro mats that are a perfect fit. They work great!
Not all OBD2 devices do the same thing. This is the one other's recommended and I use. It works well for the rear pads as well as scanning and resetting codes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QD4GZW4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I used these guys and ran them into the trunk via the hatch taillight gap. Then I ran a USB extension cord from the cupholder port to the trunk. I already had the USB extension, but you can use any 6ft or so cord you can buy.
Interesting, the algorithm just suggested this to me. Haven't check sizes, but may be a really good choice for a back seat pet cover; https://www.amazon.com/Meadowlark-Protection-Doors-Headrests-Waterproof-Protectors/dp/B07NBVTLSD?psc=1&pd_rd_w=UXmDZ&pf_rd_p=9b6c7c5b-711f-47e9-8510-2ca3ff59483f&pf_rd_r=9NRFGZW54RBY9GA8C6W8&pd_rd_r=53ff5064-f652-4cb9-aeeb-74ec84b1...
These will plug into the same port as the side sills and only turn on when you open the door or turn off the car. You just double sticky them under the dash somewhere so you don't gotta mess with the oem stuff.
YaLumei 12V LED Car Interior Atmosphere Light Decoration Lamp Soles Ambient Foot Lights for Honda Civic 2016-2020 Accord CRV EX EX-L 2018 2019 2020 Accessories (Red) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089FD38LH/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_G8365YYF4PFQJ48HW51E?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I have a skunk 2 racing knob that I got with my 09 si and transferred over. Nice and weighty and looks great with the interior. Like all metal knobs, does get hot in the summer tho.
Skunk2 Racing 627-99-0081 (10mm x 1.5mm) Six-Speed Shift Knob https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004TOZRMO/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_A7ZVXBDFVP8A8RFDRHV0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
> I love the design Of the stock teardrop one, but it gets incredibly hot or cold depending on the weather (I keept a sock in my glovebox because of this).
Baby socks, ftw.
They actually weren't cutting it at certain points during this summer, so we stepped it up to this. No heat bleed through.
https://www.amazon.com/ShiftKickz-Shift-Knob-Cover-6-Speed/dp/B088FXTH7S?th=1&psc=1
It stays on just fine, however, does rotate really easily (not that it's a problem - unless one has to look at the shift pattern for some reason). Could remedy it with some dots of epoxy (on the inside) or something for grip.
I buy 5 gallon jugs of royal purple off Amazon.
Royal Purple 05020 API-Licensed SAE 0W-20 High Performance Synthetic Motor Oil, 5 Gallon (640 Ounces) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005SEK5T4 For the price and quality. Seems like a good long term plan to me.
I use a magnetic mount from Nite Ize that you can get on Amazon. I mounted it on the air vent by the driver door and ran a usb cable over the steering column. Works perfectly.
Nite Ize Steelie Orbiter Vent Mount Kit - Portable Magnetic Cell Phone Holder for Car Vent, Low profile, No attached Magnets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FQV2WHX/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_WFFJ6RX1TJBR4Z86R339
I got an iOttie and stick it in the center console. Also got a magnetic adapter for the usb-c and retrofitted it so that I can drop the phone in and my Android auto will connect. It's super easy to take it out too.
Otherwise, you can get lots of different things. Some folks like Dream Seats/Dream Covers from the UK, but they look "baggy" to me.
I've got a cheap "Goodyear" generic cover for my dog. Works well for him in the passenger seat; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K4K8P9W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use these for the front seats and like the look of them. They generally stay in place for me. Athlete Ignited Universal Fit Waterproof and Sweatproof Seat Cover + Seat Belt Cover 22"X59" (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0728C52ZV/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_4VE0EM3QECBPAG64H8BR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Price is negotiable, you can see what they're going for all over.
Rockford Fosgate P3SD4-8 Punch P3S 8" 4-Ohm DVC Shallow Subwoofer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007AQ2WU8/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_KNF2SSXSZGZ9K46YY1H5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
This si the net I bought; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AECG828/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Depth is great, but it's wider than needed most times. Have had one of the hooks break, but there are more than I need. The extra width (about 8 inches) does come in handy when I have a bunch of grocery bags in the back. But annoys me a little when there is nothing being held down (and I then use hooks farther in to hold it in place).
So I bought this sub and reused the stock enclosure. It was as simple as unscrewing the stock sub and placing this one in and calling it done.
I noticed a difference in bass quality but I still want to get an amp to power the sub.

I bought these for my Titan TS5’s. They were a recommendation on a CTR forum and they’re great. McGard 84527 Black Cone Seat Wheel Installation Kit (M14 X 1.5 Thread Size - for 5 Lug Wheels https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007QB5AVA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8nSKFbPKCNG78?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I used this universal bracket on Amazon! I spray painted it black and used washers/nuts/bolts to hold it on to the fog bezel. It's actually surprisingly VERY study and if I remember I only spent around $10-15 total. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005NIO0X2/ref=dp_cerb_1
Not the CTR, but i have been happy with the Philips bulbs i put in my Honda Ridgeline. Only thing i had to do was add in a resistor to my tails to stop the fast blink (i still had stock turns on the front as i was slowly changing stuff over to LED). I installed them in 2017 and no issues other than one bulb popped out of the socket. I think it was just a fluke issue and i simply removed my tail light housing and put the bulb back in and it was working fine.

Just double check bulb style you need.
