What did you do to your FL5 today?

Buddy of mine gave me these lug nuts from his FK8 he sold, apparently they are lug nuts for Porsches. They are obviously 14x1.5 with a radius ball seat and are chrome. Don't know if they are steel or aluminum, but seems to work well. They are a 19mm hex instead of 22mm like the OEM lug nuts. I kinda dig the look. Waiting on some wheels locks that should hopefully match up.

Well,I think I broke a clip on the console while trying to change the aftermarket shift knob. And whoever changed out the OE knob removed the lock nut, so I didn't even need to pry off the console.
Now to find someone with gorilla grip strength that'll overcome loctite...

Got a map light from another Civic trim with the door switch, Part # 34400-T20-A31 . Wired it to the center dome light to turn on when the doors open.

Trying to navigate my fish tape past the headliner padding and the frame was a little bit of a pain to feed the wire through.

Everything works so far, thanks to this thread.

Tire shop scratched my wheels and paid to get them refinished. I decided to powder coat them gloss black and use the center caps from the FK8 to match. I like how it turned out.

Happy new year everyone, hope everyone and your families had a great one.

started 2026 with the installation of the Wunderladen/Powerflex front control arm bushing the anti-lift kit. Not a fun experience or installation but got it done. And alignment.

I couldn’t stand my winter coat feathers all coming out and sticking to my armrest this winter so I got the matte carbon arm rest cover for the time being along with the carbon dash, Alcantara window switch covers & a few other little things for the interior

Don’t really want to blow $800-1200 on a legit lip yet and blow it to a thousand pieces. I saw they recently came out with these cheaper setups I can test out to see if something can even make it up my driveway so I snagged one to try out before fully committing. I’ll update once I get it and installed but will be a bit since it’s sitting until it’s warmer again.

Looking forward to hearing your impressions on this. I’ve been eyeballing this piece for a while now and at 300% more than stock it’s gotta be a noticeable difference

Suspension feels tighter when taking turns and less wobbly, spring compression and rebound feels better and much more freely.

What shift knob?

I want to say that looks like the Ballade Sports Honda/Acura Ti shift knob. I could be wrong.

What seat pad are you using?

What seat pad are you using?

$10 on Amazon https://a.co/d/aVYxZWw that’s for the passenger side as I rarely have a passenger . On drivers side I use one like it but it covers the entire seat - https://a.co/d/gZCXSvH

I like it - may pick one up just to prevent my blue/black jeans from rubbing onto the red seat!
