First oil change

Wtf was honda thinking with the damn screws of the under cover. Flathead, bigger philips and then a smaller philips. And some were so fucking tight I almost striped a couple. Shoulda been 1 kind of screws and its 2024 we should be using torx or at least hex.
Plus a better cover!! .... holy crap is that cheap, I wonder how long it will last ? o_O

How does it look without the wing? You mind taking pics? I’ve always wondered what a Civic Type R “touring” would look like..
I think this car needs a wing. Plus without it, the trunk lid wants to fly up and takes a lot more effort to pull down. The stock wing isn’t heavy but the weight helps slow the lid on open and close.

Mr. UPS man arrived and in the estimated timeframe. This install is at least a 2 person job. The OEM wing stands are bolted on from the inside. This Voltex wing stand uses an Allen head bolt from top and washer and nut from the inside. In between they supply a rubber piece to help clamp the stands. But this design makes it near impossible to do with the amount of space there is. On top of that the supplied bolt is too short. Long story short, i couldn’t get the washer in and put in the nut. With just the nut threaded all the way, there was about 1mm bolt poking through.

This time I didn’t drop any bolts inside but I manage to let the entire rubber piece slide all the way in. I thought I was fvcked. Then I drive the up the ramp in the garage and my friend opened the trunk lid and closed it. The piece slid all the way back down. Crisis diverted and I didn’t have to shed any tears.

Otherwise, it’s a beautiful wing. I’ve never bought anything like this so I’m going to enjoy it. The wing is wide but not wider than the car itself. It didn’t come with any instructions, for the most part it is self explanatory. One thing I wasn’t sure about is the wing to the top of the wing stand, whether the plate with adjustment holes should be on the outside or inside. I opted for the outside so the adjust holes are visible.

I will share better pictures tomorrow when I bring the car out.

Since the Voltex wing didn’t come with any instructions or illustrations, I just made my own guesses on where certain pieces would go. Well, I was wrong. Called up Evasive yesterday evening to ask why the bolts are so short and how threading the washers and nut was virtually impossible, they made a suggestion based on the pieces I was describing.

This morning my friend came back over to help me, take off the wing, the stands and redo the install. This time I placed the rubber piece in the slot created by the removal of the OEM stand, and suddenly the bolts were long enough for the washers and nut.

This wing is never coming off. Till death do us part.

Are these cocomats? I've been looking at getting them as I used to have Karo Sisal mats in my S2000 and loved the look
