Episode #112 - 8th Gen Civic Sedan - Si Grille Upgrade

[jliu1234]

how abt doing a video like this for the 9th gen? :)

[chhonda]

@jliu1234 We are working on that now.

[treyperez23]

So I do need the molding AND the grille to do this mod right?

[chhonda]

@treyperez23 Yes, you need both pieces.

[treyperez23]

So if there were an si grille that is listed as 09-11 do you think there would be any fitting issues onto an 07 model?

[chhonda]

@treyperez23 I believe there would be yes.

[treyperez23]

is the grille upgrade okay for 07 models? or would you need to make any modifications?

[chhonda]

@treyperez23 Good for 2006-2008 4 door models.

[IIGrayfoxII]

Do you have a video of theMY10 Si Hatch?

[nelsonl1]

does this fit the 2011 Sedans?

[chhonda]

@nelsonl1 Watch episode #172.

[nelsonl1]

@chhonda

well specifically the lower portion of the grill where you shaved off the Si emblem location

[chhonda]

@nelsonl1 We have not tried that with the mid model change Civic.

i have a 2008 si civic sedan i have a mugen gril top part, can i use oem grill base on the mugen grill?thanks

[chhonda]

@shawncey2424 It is hard to tell for sure from the Honda documentation but I believe so.

[shawncey2424]

@chhonda the mugen si grill onto my 08 oem grill surroundbase it didnt fit i have to file down the oem base , i payed 30 bucks for the mugen grill top section , going to make a good wall decor above the fireplace lol

i have a question when i was taking off the oem grill i didnt take out the four screw i accidentally took out the four bolts that connect the grill base to bumper andi lost the four rubber parts that connect the grill base to bumper do you sell them ?thanks

[chhonda]

@shawncey2424 We should be able to help you with that. Just give us a call.

[Jlizel]

how to make your base model civic look like an si is just buy an si

[Ahurtado209]

had a question do u have to get the grill base or can u just get the colored part of the grill??????

[chhonda]

@Ahurtado209 You have to get the grille base when installing the Si grille in a Sedan.

[TheDragonHelix]

nice mod, i definitely like the color matched grill they used for the older gen 8 si.

[desimunda116]

who you guys happen to know if my honda dealer can install the blue interior illuminations usually for the accord on my civic si sedan?

[Laurencia7]

seems like a lot of trouble to remove one piece of chrome.

[konichiwabeezy]

where can i find these grills? can find them anywhere

[chhonda]

@konichiwabeezy Hint: Watch the end of the video.

[k00lball3r]

@chhonda hey, i have a 2008 civic si coupe and i wanted to ask if you know anything about the 2nd and 3rd gear grinding issues? TSB 08-020 and if dealerships fix this mine only has 40k miles.

[chhonda]

@k00lball3r What is it you would like to know?

[k00lball3r]

@chhonda yea, im on 8thcivic.com also and my username is K00l08SI so you can send me a pm if you know anything or if the dealership can fix it. im only at 40k miles so i guess my powertrain warranty goes to 60k miles.thanks

[chhonda]

@k00lball3r I'll check it out.

[k00lball3r]

@chhonda thanks, i will be changing my tranny fluid this weekend i have about 40,132 right now so ill replace with oem honda mtf and see if that makes a differance but plz send me a messege about this. ive seen honda tsb 08-020 but my car doesnt fall under the vin range even though i have notchy 3rd gear and occasional grind over 7k rpm but under 8k

[chhonda]

@k00lball3r Being that your car does not fall under the vin range in the TSB you are going to have to take the car to the dealer to get it diagnosed. Once they find out what is wrong a district representative from Honda can make a determination whether it can be covered under warranty.

[k00lball3r]

@chhonda ok, i will be changing my MTF this weekend and ill see if that makes any difference if not then ill take it to the dealer. thanks for your help

[k00lball3r]

@chhonda thanks, i will be changing my tranny fluid this weekend i have about 40,132 right now so ill replace with oem honda mtf and see if that makes a differance but plz send me a messege about this. ive seen honda tsb 08-020 but my car doesnt fall under the vin range even though i have notchy 3rd gear and occasional grind over 7k rpm but under 8k , thanks again

[guitarkillerzz]

hey man great video where can i get the black si grill cause there all like 120 bucks and thats allot 2 me

[warrock556]

hmmm..... will this mod work on the newer 09-10 models? I assume so because they are both an 8th gen. but correct me if I'm wrong.

[okonaoko11]

ummmmmmmmm why dont u ppl like the chrome grill ?

[iiiFrederickiii]

Will the front bumper of the 06 honda civic coupe fit the 06 civic sedan?

[ItzCashew]

Hmm im thinking about doing this for my coup. I love the way the Si grill look. It's possible to get a coup grill from an Si and do a direct install correct?

[seasonalocean]

Yea, just make sure you buy a coupe grill for your coupe and not a Sedan Si Grill ..

[keithfries]

too bad they dont have it in atomic blue

[otaku50]

i bought one of these from collegehills but it seems like mine is off color....blehhhh

[Stunna84]

I just did this, bought the SI grille from collegehills. The first 2 clips/screws are very hard to take out without that tool that you have in the video.. One of the clips got destroyed cuz I was very hard to take out using only a screw driver.. The rest of the installment are cake tho.. very good DIY. Thanks Collegehills.

[jmaybury19hotmail]

naked! S

[leondb]

Nice DIY! Looks nice. I hate the chromed ones.
