I thought the usdm rear bumper with the CSX (fd1) or fd2 trunk will have a gap at the bottom, but in your Civic there's no gap, looks really good, nice video and beautiful car bro' 🔥🔥
Thanks man! Well actually there is a gap haha. It’s really not too bad and I get away with it because figment on the tail lights looks super good haha 😂😅👍
Sherwin Marlin Buddy of mine got it for me. Hfp I got lucky and found one on amazon. 2008 civic si and I’ll be putting the third break light on the bottom of the bumper
Absolutely bro! Yeah so basically what I did was use the jdm pig tails w the sockets for the reverse lights. You can get them on eBay. Then I cut my reverse bulb sockets off and extended wires up on the trunk since the reverse lights are on the center trunk light. Solder them all and heat shrink together. You can message me on iG if you want and I can explain it better but hope k was super thorough. 👍🫡
Thanks for the advice man, I finally snagged myself a JDM trunk! I have a quick question; I know you bought a navy blue trunk originally, how were you able to paint the other side (inside) since there's grooves and crevises that the paint may not reach? Did it require some deconstruction? Thanks :)
well I just took the inner liner off and all the stuff that was in the way but no deconstruction I just sent it to my paint guy and he’s sprayed both sides
@@Vicwavy I feel it! From your video I couldn’t tell if you went with the fd2 or fa5 sounded like you said whichever was in better condition. I’ll cop those FD2s then. Thank bro!
@@Vicwavy hahaha all good bro. I appreciate you getting back to me. I’ve had the fd2 rear conversion parts just sitting at home for months. I think it’s time I get ‘em installed soon.
So sick man! i just scored a CSX rear trunk for my fa5! Quick question tho, for the bulbs do the USDM connectors work except for the reverse lights? and was it hard to wire up and splice them.
No not hard at all man just two wires just cut splice and use a heat shrink wrap for protection. I would cut a little extra length for when the trunk opens and closes tho 👍
I’m about to do my install soon so I have another question, you just got some extra wire for the reverse light at like Home Depot or how you do it and did you get a single color or did you get black and red.
Ofcourse so I do have a friend in Canada who gets me stuff for like fd2 cause in the states we don’t have them. I also shop at ICB Motorsports, Nengun Performance and Art of Attack. All of which are authentic Jdm parts. Croooober is another good site aswell. They ship directly from Japan. 👍🏽
Question: my CSX trunk came with sound proof as well as wiring from Original car. Should I use those OR take those out and use originals? Since I’ve never done this and don’t want to mess anything up. Any ideas? I’ve got a JDM shop near me just would prefer to do it myself to save on cost... though it wouldn’t hurt to try. Any tips? Thanks so much man
@@Rafaellasvegas So you will need some pigtails for the reverse lights and wires to extend them because the reverse lights will be on the actually trunk. I just spliced the wires and hooked them up and wires them to pigtails to get reverse lights to work. Everything else is plug and play 👍🏽
Im trying to figure out, is the rear bumper on the csx different from the 8th gen si? i want to do the coversion and get a rear diffuser but im not sure if ill need to get a fd2 rear bumper
Not sure if the Fd5 csx bumper differs from our FA5 bumper. But I know for a fact the fd5 type r bumper is thicker and is two pieces. Bumper and then diffuser
@@Vicwavy okay thank you. I was trying to find pictures and I kinda noticed there’s more of an indent at the bottom of the bumper on the fd2 conversion
@@mitchellmlekush3114 Yeah so I’m running an FA5 rear bumper with hfp rear lip. The Fd2 bumper also sits lower. I’m almost positive the csx is the same but I could be wrong.
How did you go about extending the reverse light wiring? I just picked up my conversion from paint and I’m not too savvy on electrical/ wiring so I’m wondering if it’s something I can even do myself
Yes so everything is plug and play minus the reverse since it’s on the trunk. You can do one of two things. One, you can just strip wires and cut to length and use existing bulbs by having the ends of the wires touch the contacts when the bulbs are in or you can cut the oem sockets off and splice the wires. Up to you I spliced them but I know this guy names Ricecardriver here on RUclips did his explaining if you wanna go that route 👍
Damn this dude deserves my thumbs up. Homeboy sweating like he ina sauna 💯
Eduardo Jardinez 😂😂 I really was man. Heat is different out here that’s for sure ha
Looks sick..I'm in love with the conversion. I have an white fa5 too.
Thank you bro! Yeah I love white in Honda’s 👏🏽
Wing AND no wing looks so fucking fire!!! I’ve been rocking no wing because of how clean the 8th gen is on body lines and proportion
I thought the usdm rear bumper with the CSX (fd1) or fd2 trunk will have a gap at the bottom, but in your Civic there's no gap, looks really good, nice video and beautiful car bro' 🔥🔥
Thanks man! Well actually there is a gap haha. It’s really not too bad and I get away with it because figment on the tail lights looks super good haha 😂😅👍
LOL I bought the lights.. just now realizing I'll need a different trunk and all this other stuff 😂🤦🏻♀️
Haha you can run the outer ones for now till you get the trunk lol
Looks so damn good cant wait to do the conversion after my fk8 is done
Butternut.spangles Worth every penny I’m my opinion 🙏🏽
Where did u find the conversion parts & that HFP rear bumper? Very nice car bro. What year? Did u have to relocate the 3rd brake light?
Sherwin Marlin Buddy of mine got it for me. Hfp I got lucky and found one on amazon. 2008 civic si and I’ll be putting the third break light on the bottom of the bumper
twice now ive jacked up my car from that tow hook in the back and its dented, Bends in all the way to where the spare tire doesnt sit right
Wow really!? What year and car do you have?
if god permits im in the works of getting an 8th gen too . 🙏🏽🙏🏽
cristian a Good luck man! They’re great cars. Underrated for sure 👍🏽
simple but elegant
I know this is so long ago but could you explain to me on how to wire the reverse lights
Absolutely bro! Yeah so basically what I did was use the jdm pig tails w the sockets for the reverse lights. You can get them on eBay. Then I cut my reverse bulb sockets off and extended wires up on the trunk since the reverse lights are on the center trunk light. Solder them all and heat shrink together.

@@Vicwavy yes bro that would be super helpful
@@RobertJohnson-nt8mg Okay yeah hit me up on iG name is the same 👍

@@Vicwavy Awesome. Thanks again, your videos and advice are very helpful.
@@fa5_blee363 No problem glad I can help 👍🏽
You know if you can run the fa5 gaskets on the fd2 taillights? Or do you need to specifically buy fd2 taillight gaskets?
So I would get fd2 cause the shapes are different bro
@@Vicwavy I feel it! From your video I couldn’t tell if you went with the fd2 or fa5 sounded like you said whichever was in better condition. I’ll cop those FD2s then. Thank bro!
@@AyooSteezyMike Oh I did lol yeah so I did try it and they were different shapes I should’ve said that in the video my fault lol 😂
@@Vicwavy hahaha all good bro. I appreciate you getting back to me. I’ve had the fd2 rear conversion parts just sitting at home for months. I think it’s time I get ‘em installed soon.
@@AyooSteezyMike Niiice bro! Yeah man it changes the car up completely. Love it
Where did you buy the wing and the bodykits for it?
Wing was from Canada off a csx. Rear lip I bought off Amazon oem. Side skirts from a homie and the front lip came with my front end. 👍🏽
So sick man! i just scored a CSX rear trunk for my fa5! Quick question tho, for the bulbs do the USDM connectors work except for the reverse lights? and was it hard to wire up and splice them.
No not hard at all man just two wires just cut splice and use a heat shrink wrap for protection. I would cut a little extra length for when the trunk opens and closes tho 👍
where did you get trunk from
I’m about to do my install soon so I have another question, you just got some extra wire for the reverse light at like Home Depot or how you do it and did you get a single color or did you get black and red.
So with the lights you need the fd2 pigtails and extra wire to extend to the stock reverse light sockets
@@Vicwavy yea I have the pig tails, so it doesn’t matter if the extra wire is the same color or a single color ?
@@axyzor7512 I think it’s just a black and a red wire that I used as long as you have one power and one ground you should be okay no matter the color
@@Vicwavy okay thank you
Do the bulbs of the civic taillights fit the jdm taillights?
uff, friend where can I buy the headlights?
So I got the headlights with the front end conversion. They are depos but they still look good 😅👍🏽
How much it costed u?
Does your rear honda emblem fits the CSX trunk hole?
Paul Cussler No I just trimmed the posts and centered it
Awesome Vid! Doing mine soon. Got a new subscriber!
JuniorSann I appreciate that man! Thank you! Got more things lined up soon 👏🏽👍🏽
Quick question, what size drill bit did you use to make the hole?
Not sure the size sorry bro I just used my third biggest size or closet to the size of the posts
@@Vicwavy you got a link to the posts?
@@axyzor7512 I meant the same size as the threaded posts where the nuts go on the back of the tail light so it will fit 👍
@@Vicwavy ohhhhhh 😂
I thought you meant like posts where people tell you how to install the trunk and stuff
swear man as soon as i get my permit and license ima get a 8th gen!
Eeeyyy they’re great man!
Beautiful!!! Just got mine from a CSX 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice!! Fitment is so good! Gotta love oem
Yo bro can you please tell me where you get all of your parts
Ofcourse so I do have a friend in Canada who gets me stuff for like fd2 cause in the states we don’t have them. I also shop at ICB Motorsports, Nengun Performance and Art of Attack. All of which are authentic Jdm parts. Croooober is another good site aswell. They ship directly from Japan. 👍🏽

@@sennacn226 Hey anytime! Feel free to ask anything I love talking cars 👍🏽

I’ve got a JDM shop near me just would prefer to do it myself to save on cost... though it wouldn’t hurt to try. Any tips? Thanks so much man
I just used the csx stuff but you can use your oem stuff. Whatever you prefer
@@Vicwavy got it, is there any cables you gotta get adapters for? Or is it plug and play?

@@Rafaellasvegas Anytime bro thanks I will 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Was your rear bumper usdm? Or fd rear bumper?
Rear bumper stayed usdm for now just did trunk and lights

That will be next. Just did trunk for now
As we say it here in the Philippines.. "JDM NUMBAWAN!"
😂😂
Lmao he wired up his signal to the reverse
Goals 🔥
Alan Thao Thank you! Still a lot to be done though lol 👏🏽😁
@@Vicwavy hows the fitment on the usdm bumper?
@@Forteeseven47 pretty good actually only thing is that the tailights gang over the bumper a tad. Jdm bumper thicker
@@Vicwavy cool man thanks!!
@@Forteeseven47 Anytime man!
