Drove it to one of the local polling places open for early voting and did my civic duty, or something quite like it. Rock the vote!!! And no further comment as to keep this apolitical...

Good idea. This was a reply to the splash guard installation. I guess the Quote feature didn't work.

Spoon sway bar

So, finally my Spoon front sway bar is installed ! The Spoon N1 muffler also !

I'm also trying a Blitz LM panel filter, it seems to work well and the filtration looks good, I check the airbox interior almost everyday without any dust inside until now...

+ Seeker super short shifter, Seeker super boot collar and a few goodies...

Sure !

After a few km of driving, I can say that : on dry road, the grip is very high ! The front end bite the apex like crazy, in a similar behaviour then my previous Civic Type-R FK2. It increase also a lot the traction in corner exit.

On wet road...it's an other story ! I've to transfer the weight on front wheels by late braking to have a bit of grip, but I clearly feel the car don't roll enough. It's what I've excpected...

But I love that mod !

Luckily here, the Jazz/Fit Dynamic have the same chassis then the japanese RS, so it have all the braces + the 25.4 mm front sway bar. So, it needs "only" the Spoon front bar and maybe the Progress rear sway bar...but we can't recieve it in Europe, them don't send it...

Does anyone have a link or trustworthy part store to replace my damaged driver side view mirror?

I got one from FirstHondaParts. It was for my son's 2015. The mirror (right side w/o camera) cost $354 without the Skull Cap, which is another hundred or so. This was over two years ago, and I think I was able to use the Skull Cap. Find the part number and search for a good price.

Splash guards, first aid kit and cup holder liner

Got my order from HondaPartsNow.com today.
Put in my cup holder liner thing.
Put my Honda first aid kit in the trunk..
And installed OEM splash guards...
Was a bit of a pain since I have a CURT tow hitch installed..

Also got a 18 accord low horn. Planning on putting it in someday. Seems like a pain. And I don't really know which one is low or high so I'll probably look at both and compare... and test .
