Little late (12:35 AM here) but got my '13 SI deck lid in tonight. I have to say, this is by far my favorite OEM "spoiler" if you can even call it that. Absolutely love the look. Install was rather painless, did suffer the loss of my reverse camera but I expected that. On the higher trims with the LED brake light, the camera is mounted on the passenger side instead of the driver's side of the Honda emblem on the trunk. Just have to shave off some plastic to get it to slide through, figure out how to wire the LED strip, and inspect for leaks around the molding; other than that, good to go! 20180530_003052.jpeg20180530_003101.jpeg

Got the third brake light working today! Basically tapped into the connector from my OEM third brakelight and ran the wire directly to the prongs on the LED strip itself. Bypassing a connector my car didn't come equipped with. Luckily I had 10 feet worth of wire left over from when I did my speakers a couple months ago.20180531_192242.jpegIMG_20180531_195420_841.jpeg

Not just today, but the past 2.5 weeks. All fenders have been rolled and pulled; the big tabs on the rear bumper inside the fender cut off, wheels & tires mounted, balanced, test fit, and plasti-dipped, and camber arms & bolts installed. Overall, probably took me 20 hours. Several hours of that time was spent trying to get the stock camber arm off the rear passenger side; at first I thought it was just hard to get to, but then I found that one of the bolts connecting to the body of the car was misthreaded from the factory and had to be dealt with by a professional.

The feel is interesting. I can tell I increased my scrub radius a bit on the front when taking tight corners. There is more torque steer than before, but it's really only noticeable when engaging/disengaging the clutch mid-turn. Acceleration feels a tiny bit sluggish due to the added weight up front, but braking feels better than ever - I can really lay into the pedal again, even with the BBK.

Specs:
Front 18x9.75 +19 wrapped in 255/35 Pilot Super Sports
Rear 18x8.75 +19 wrapped in 245/35 Pilot Sport Cup 4S's

I wanted to run 235/35 in the rear, but they just dont make performance tires in that size.

And to add insult to injury, I was hit on my drive to work this morning. I was stopped at a red light, so it’s just a low-speed collision, but still......
