Congrats! Very nice Civic! I think the Eagle Eye LED tail lights would look awesome on your car, and match your LEDs in the rear bumper and the OEM LED tail light in the rear spoiler.

I believe the 2012 to 2014 models use the same size tail lights, so I would think the 2014 coupe tail lights would be a direct fit without any modification. The Eagle Eye LED tail lights are advertised as 2012 to 2014 2DR coupe. One thing to consider with the 2014 tail lights, they no longer have the DOT reflectors in them. Honda moved the DOT reflectors into the bumper for 2014, separate from the tail lights. So if you install 2014 tail lights, you might encounter a problem of not being street legal since your car would no longer have any reflectors on the rear to be seen in dark areas, or from approaching headlights.

Im still hunting for a set but from those who has done it told me that theres a tight squeeze at the bottom of the 2014 tails when installed on the 2012 bumper. I also already figured how to cover the reflector issue wihtout changing bumper :)

Cool deal. I look forward to seeing those tails installed on your car.
