This isn’t what I was looking for @urbo73 but still some good info. It does increase downforce (so it would have to increase drag). You’re right about that. Paraphrasing, the wing also aids airflow around and over the car, which aids stability of the back of the car, which aids overall stability at speed as well as rotating the car thru corners (cornering) at speed.

• Front and rear dash cam install (huge thanks to @TR3BLE for sharing his incredibly helpful video, which I could not have done the install without; my install was not quite as clean as yours, but close enough )
• OEM illuminated door sill trims

Door sills looks great, how difficult was it to install those? I have them, i've never done anything like that before.

I Bought a 2023 Civic type R out of Virginia. After I had an 1100-mile drive home. The car's front bumper was super plastered with bugs. Took forever to clean the front. Loving the car so far. Feels so much tighter than the Fk8. It reminds me of my s2000 with how the shifter wheels and the gauges. Cheers everyone !!!

I had an audio shop do everything, since I didn't want to deal with the rear dash cam installation. You can flip through the instructions here. There are a lot of steps, so it will probably take awhile, but nothing too crazy.

How much did Hendricks charge you? Last I called they wanted 15k over

Goodbye to all the ugly amber lights.

Big ups to @arbies for putting me onto Jets Vinyl, shipping was pretty quick and installation was very easy. LED turn signal is from Type R LED's (also installed the reverse not pictured here).

I didn't get it from that dealership. I paid 8k over.

Do you have any more pictures of the headlights?

Does "getting rear-ended at a stop light" count as doing something? ?

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone have any idea how bad lead times are for body panels out of Japan right now?

Oh man... sorry to see this. I think there are a couple others in here that were in wrecks that are still waiting parts but I can't remember what thread it was

Only these, did you have something specific you were looking for? I can get a shot if I know.
