Don't like the chrome grille trim on the front of 2009 and newer Civic sedans? Swap it out for the Berlina Black trim from the Si then.

This upgrade takes away the "meep, meep" and gives an actual horn sound to your 06 and newer Civic. NOTE: 2008 and newer Si models have 2 horns, a low and a high.

Although this is not a ground breaking installation video this new accessory from Honda can be a tricky install. If not done properly "clear" will actually be quite visible.

Time for another Civic mod! In this episode we explore the options of installing the chrome license trim molding from the 09 Civic on 06-08 models and the painted molding from the 06-08 on the 2009. This upgrade/downgrade, depending on how you look at it, will provide you with the trunk finish you desire. Details on pricing and availability will be in the Civic areas of our store at www.collegehillshonda.com.

This mod has been out there for a while now but we keep getting requests for an install podcast. So, Kel and I took the time to experiment and here is the result. Remove the lame chrome grille from the non-Si sedans and replace it with the painted Si version. Then, based on personal preference there are a couple of options on what to do with the emblem tab that comes on the new grille base. We opted to chop it off for the video.

This podcast is a follow up to episode #94. That episode demonstrated the LED 3rd brake light that is found in the EX coupe will directly plug in to nearly every other Civic trim. To take this to the next step we will now show you how to install this light into your DX or LX coupe. This upgrade does not only require the LED light but you also need to replace your stock rear deck with the EX version. You will be able to find further details and purchase the parts to complete this upgrade at www.collegehillshonda.com. We will explore the possibility of a sedan 3rd brake light upgrade in a later podcast.

This is another follow-up to a question we received on episode #92. The question was if the LED 3rd brake light out of the 8th generation Civic EX Coupe could be installed into a LX/EX 4dr model. We also explored the possibility of swapping the clear lens that is found on the Hybrid model as well. Although we did not complete an install in this episode we did confirm that the harnesses required to power these units are the same. An installation episode will be completed at a later date.
