I find the placement a bit annoying as they can be a slightly hard to reach when turning corners. However, the gear shift is rather quick with the paddles and I think I just need to get used to the paddle location.

Take it for a spin and see what you think! My only gripe with the paddles is they only work in the "S" mode and you can't manually downshift / over-ride the transmission in automatic mode.

Removing the from bar took me 15mins the first time round, tho if i was to do it again it would more likely be 5mins. There are only 2 screws and the rest are the snap lock style tabs. the tricky bit is that the bar is clipped onto the car under each of the headlights and can be tricky/scarey to pull out/off the first time...

i mounted my passenger side ballast and ignitor in the section under the windscreen (theres a bracket that allows you to cable tie the whole thing) but mounting the stuff under the headlights would probably be even better.

Allow yourself 2hours to get a nice clean install with no visible cables.

cool thanks man...

The reverse sensors are almost $700. Which is a total rip off seeing you can get 4 aftermarket sensors installed for almost half that price.

Mind you, I got the sensors, floor mats and the window tinting (also a rip at $600) thrown in. Which is fair enough seeing I paid RRP + ORC for my Honda Civic Sports.

I should add for that price, I could have gotton the Honda Euro.

Who ever trivett gets to do their tinting for them. I have no idea.

Dunno if plastic or metalic.

pretty sheet since we've only had the car for 7 weeks.

Just put on a couple of hundred k's on it tonight going newcastle and back to pick up a friends new car.

It's such a nice and hwy friendly car to drive. 5th gear overtakes are so easy and the cruise control is godsent.

On the way back we went sector 1 on OP to berowra and it felt so good. Wasn't going 100% cause didn't want friend to stack his new car but man..........you guys gotta do it to know what I'm on about. Definately needs better tyres. I'm going all out on next tyre change.
We've clocked 4900km since pick up in mid March.
