Engine bay side covers

[revans]

Yes they retain the bumper hood adjustment stops..
Just go them on so I have to drive around for a little bit I’ll be sure to post up if there is any rubbing issues… the only issue was the front panel that needed trimming the sides were no issue at all

I did mine, and me and the mechanic love 'em! haha

Decided to try these out and see if they would fit.. they did but need a little work in the front areas to make it fit properly around the air inlet. Quality is on par with the Euro Civic covers that were available for the 10th gen Civic ( even though these are not an OEM part… can’t beat $45 shipped on eBay)
Here are the before and after pictures installed.

I ordered these too and trimmed them up to fit perfectly. But I’m running into the issue of the front two holes on each of the side pieces not allowing me to snap in the push pins. They are like an inch two short.

Did you run into this issue and what did you do to make them able to attach?

The kit that I ordered had bag of push pins ( about 4 mall ones and 4 long ones ) I used the long ones on the front.

Here is the link for what I purchased
11th Gen Civic Engine Bay Side Covers

Seems these now have have a piece that covers the strut. Not sure I like that.

Oh wow... just saw that ... Not sure if they will have any of the older versions like I used...

Wondering if they will possibly contribute to over heating by restricting air flow around the engine bay???? Wouldn't think so, but living in a hot & humid state, especially as summer approaches, makes me want to wait on these.

The ones I received were all the same size as factory. Do you know what length the larger was were that worked for you?

The longer one that they included was about 5-7mm longer
Factory clip on the left , included one on the right.

I just hope I can source these somewhere else without the strut cover.

I bought the ones with the strut covers and trimmed them off, It was easy. And still looks good.

Oh ok. I figured it may be a big piece to trim. Do you have any pics of yours trimmed by chance? It’s ok if you don’t.

I just installed and I used a new blade with a standard knife. But hood isn’t closing now.
