Haven't posted in the build thread in a while. Not too much done, new wheels and tires, and changed to Spoon Sports Mirrors.
I do have some parts waiting for me to stop being lazy and install.

For me I'd go matte. I had an 11th Gen Civic Sport Touring that has the glossy trim interior pieces, sometimes I would get the worst glare from it when the sun hit it just right.
I've opened headlights before, without a problem. If you do it right and reseal them correctly with fresh butyl or silicone then there's no issue, but just like everything there is always a possibility that if its not done right you can run into problems. Everything is done at your own risk when...
The EDM LHD headlights are pretty pricey, over $3k from a couple places I've seen.
Garage Immi has them for $3400, but they are backordered.

Can do what I’ve done in the past with the OEM dipsticks. I took 400 grit sand paper to the orange tip until there was no more gloss. Took me a few minutes to do. Should help the oil stick better and be more visible since you’re not fighting to look at the oil against the orange gloss.
I would say to tag Austin for clarification regarding the dip stick level and hope he responds, but I don't think I've ever seen him post in this forum.
Maybe @Two Step Performance can chime in regarding the level since they did a collab dipstick recently with Wunderladen Racing and might have...
That's still pretty good. I can only assume pricing is reasonable for just mounting and balancing, plus you have the convenience of scheduling him to be able to come wherever you are.
I got all 4 for $1150 and its free mounting, balance and install when bought through him, but I only had him mount and balance. I installed them myself since I had to remove my spacers I was running with the stock wheels.
Some places were charging $1400+ with install.
Getting tires mounted and balanced from home while I work.
Gave me the best price for a set of Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 275/35ZR18. Probably saved me a few hundred dollars compared to going through Tire Rack or taking them to get installed at a local shop. Hit him up if you are in...
Big fan of Billetworkz if you are looking for weighted shift knobs, they have a lot of different shapes and sizes with different weights and you can just about customize them to an extent. Its a little on the pricier side, but I really love their Fusion shift knob...
I won't go as far as doing the pedal dance, but I'll turn off the traction control from time to time when I'm out for a drive and it gives it a bit more of a raw feel.
Someone else can chime in if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure you'd be able to run the PRL charge pipe kit then since the PRL piping and couplers are bigger than OEM. At least you can still use the intercooler with the OEM piping.
