Back with the GK5

Had a 2010 Sport that got smushed a couple years back (Right here)
Replaced it with a 2018 Sport. Finally making a thread.

Great looking car. Lose the rear mud guards though.

Thanks. I live out in the farmlands and occasionally drive on dirt or gravel roads so mud flaps are a must for me.

Have you ever considered mud flaps to front as well? They would protect your own car much more.

Except there is no mud guards option for the Sport. Hence why he only has them on the rear. The Sport sideskirts get in the way of mounting the mud guards up front.

Not from Honda, but there is nothing preventing front mud flaps.

The sideskirts stick out far enough to offer some protection and besides I probably don't have enough ground clearance for front flaps.

Welcome back! Some kind of protection makes sense out in Davis. Especially when we get that 3 weeks of straight rain every year.

Nice looking ride! Are the top components (on either side of the rear glass) of the RS taillights lit?

Are those headlights direct plug and play? I’m looking at them now and wondering where the ACC plugs into. As far as I know ours only has 3 cables, but those headlights have 4 cables that need to be plugged in.

The LED strips need to be wired in to an ACC source so they light up when you turn your key to ACC or start the car. I wired mine to the DRL circuit.

Hey,

where did you get a rear taillight harness to have taillights to work?

Thanks

It's been a while but IIRC the pillar lights are tapped into the license plate lights, the socket for the reverse light needed to be swapped with the turn signal (or maybe vice versa) and the brake light/led strip was plug n play.
