Our Civics have been drive-by-wire since 2006, so I assume that the ECU keeps the brakes engaged for a few seconds even after you take your foot off the pedal.

Actually, I am. It didn't take very long to learn the habit of simply leaving the fob in my pocket all the time. Just tell yourself to push the start/stop button when you go to grab the keys, then always lock the doors with the outside door handle. That way you eventually learn to never grab...

It does take some getting used to, but I actually find it more relaxing. Makes me forget I'm driving a manual. But I'm old, so...

Took me longer than I care to admit to realize that it wasn't a garden hose. Future pics are a must!

BMW M3?

I demand rain-soaked pics

Actually, Brake Assist is in the manual: "Designed to assist the driver by generating greater braking force when you depress the brake pedal hard during emergency braking." That's not this though. I'd almost call it "Hill Assist", if that's even the term for it. I know Subarus have it on...

When I'm on a slight incline, which there are many around my residence, the car doesn't roll backwards anymore once I take my foot off of the brake while the car is on. Instead, it just sits there as though it were level. I can't find any mention of it on Honda's website or in any manual, but...

I think we need pics of AlienPrime's engine bay and under the steering column. I'm imagining a plethora of wires.

Well according to my dealer, Si's will be getting superchargers in 2015 or 2016. Maybe that will be the incentive for you :)

The fogs on the sedan Si, as well as the interior map and dome lights, are different than the 2012. A few other new things I've noticed, which may or may not be on the 2013 Si's already: there is now a button under the trunk handle to open the trunk, and now there is some sort of hill- or...

Sure took you long enough :bunny:

Haven't driven it much yet, but what's the most noticeable of all is that the ride is soo much smoother now. It's like driving an EX with extra torque and acceleration. Way less noise and bumpiness. You'll see what I mean when you get it and you won't be sorry you traded. Another nice touch...

Whoa. Nice ride!

+1 for crotch shot. I see at least two photos that are worthy of the 2015 calendar. Looking great :thumbsup:

Cool. Figured it was there for a reason, just hadn't figured out why. Thanks.

Does your driver's-side mirror have a straight black vertical line through it?

Just a plastic insert for the rear doors: http://www.collegehillshonda.com/product/08U31-TR0-100.html Silly, I know. But it is a mod :P

I thought the faux carbon fiber would be tacky and I had planned to get rid of it immediately, but I actually like it. Photos do not do this car enough justice, I can't stress that enough. I didn't feel this giddy when I bought the 2012 :turbospin:

So yeah, this just happened. I'm not a performance mod type of guy, but I do enjoy installing accessories that have more of an aesthetic appeal while still providing added functionality. Stay tuned for new/updated DIY threads. I must say, everything about it is much more refined than...
