I have to take off my front bumper. What should I install while I'm back there?

I plan on installing a tow strap on the front of my Si which requires front bumper removal. Is there anything I should look into installing while I'm there? Swap out the stock horn for the Euro horn?

+1 on foglights!

Maybe a front lip? Bumper removal isn't required, but makes placement a lot easier when you can flip it upside down and not fight gravity. Easier on the knees, too.

this is what I did for both my previous FA5 Si (which also had an Wolo air horn...) and my current FL5 Type R

Added these Hella horns (with the wiring harness)

Replaced existing horn with this louder one (with the adapter for Honda connector)

Wolo air horns (I had the 123 dB bad boy which is currently out os stock)

very loud (for the combo of the Hella and FIAMM Freeway Blaster)

The first time I used these horns (on my FL5) I was used to do a long press on the OEM wimpy horn. got flipped by a Harley rider who cut me off, then threw a fire cracker at me...

I now only do very short taps on the horns unless I have to.

If I recall correctly, it was over 120dB using one of the apps on the cell phone about 4ft away

Install some mesh to protect the AC condenser.
