It's nice to see someone who's down to earth owning a Type R. I've always felt an aura, whether it is real or just my imagination, that people with R's disregard those with Si's or lower trims. Just like with HondaPro Jason and Ososik... A car is a machine, it's who you are outside of the car that makes you who you are. Keep it up Lui! Love the type R. Congradulations :)
Wiper delete looks cool and gives it a cleaner look but I would never remove it on my hatch I live in ny and sometimes we get torrential downpours here and that rear wiper helps a whole lot makes it easier to see out the rear window especially with snow in the winters
Wholesome video complete with mistakes we all make. 😂 The lip spoiler looks nice. Hmm. I might need one. Having done a Civic de-badge a few times, I’d suggest trying just the heat gun without the fishing line first to see if you can pry the letters off along with the adhesive all at once. If you get lucky, it’s less work and lower risk for scratches.
Nice! People will give you crap about rear wiper deletes, but with the liftback design, the Civic doesn’t need a rear wiper any more than a sedan would.
@@lui.racing lol yep. I get it on a true hatch like a Golf. I missed my rear wiper on that car, but the only reason the Civic has one is it legally has to because it’s considered a hatch.
I know this isn't the focus of the video, but is the removal of the tailgate interior trim also necessary to replace the tail light assembly? I have some aftermarket tail lights coming in the mail and I'm trying to figure out how to replace the tail lights on the tailgate. The "outside" light assemblies are really easy as they come off in the process of replacing the rear bumper.
Awesome video good sir!! Looks incredible! I absolutely love the Championship White on the FL5! Looks amazing! ! I own a Crystal Black Pearl FL5 that I bought 3 moths ago and I love the car but it is so hard to keep clean! My Sonic Gray Pearl fk8 was so much easier to maintain!! I love the content! Keep up the incredible work and enjoy your week ahead! 🚙👍🏼😀
Thank you! And congrats on the FL5. My PMM fk8 was so much easier to keep clean/look clean lol. White and black are two colors where you see all the dirt
Awesome vid Lui! I wish I can get the Type R but they’re too damn expensive lol. Quick question, how are you going to post the aftermarket parts for the Si?
Personally I wouldn’t keep both wings. One or the other makes the car look nice. I’ll keep the big wing haha. Maybe in the future I might change the piano black to the carbon fiber one. I keep the wiper because it helps me see when it rains really. And removing the civic name tag, thinking about it 🧐🧐🧐
I want to change the piano black wing to carbon fiber lol I tried to negotiate that with the dealership and they said no 😂 I never used the rear wiper on my FK8 and I’ll probably never use it on this one either so I won’t miss it. I think removing the civic badge just cleans up the rear
@@lui.racing the rear wipers are automatic when you have the front one on, the rear one comes on when you put it in reverse just to clear the view. I honestly like it lol. Instead of waiting for the heat thing to clear it, the wiper is fast and automatic. Yeah I’m lowkey thinking removing the civic badge for that cleaner look. Lol It’s not being optioned in North America yet. It’ll come prob in a few more months.
but why delete the wiper? is it just aesthetic cause i do use it all the time. Albeit I live in Louisiana with quite a lot of rain and morning condensation
Michigan here, I never once used my rear-wiper on my past car that I owned for 8+ years. Sure rain blocks the views but mostly driving at night, headlight existing behind me was always good enough. Vans etc dont always even have rear windows. Mostly use to driving by the side mirrors and a physical head-check out the side windows. I've been debating it on my 11-gen civic. The wind driving down the road always pushed the rain off, the heater elements always melted the ice and the wind driving pushed the ice off. Dont really deal with Dew due to my work hours, but anytime the window had dew, the camera never did..so, didnt use the wiper. I got the HPD tailgate spoiler on my hatch, and it looks great, but the wiper is an mass disruption to the flow/look xD
Dual wing is so rice wtf💀i would NOT remove the wiper, it’s super convenient lol. If I do, I’d paint the prl thing black. The PRL logo is so huge and it looks stupid lmao😊
Me: *slowly hides huge muffler can and eBay vortex generators* noooo… absolutely not 😅 Lmao bro how many times have you watched my video to leave two comments 💀

Thank you! lol I try to be as genuine and down to earth as possible
Nah your thinking of M car owners
Do what you think is cool and don't worry about other people. If it makes you happy and you like it that's all that matters
Congrats on the car, disagree with all of the things you did but you do you!
Damn that garage is dope lol. Car fire too
The no wiper and dual wing is crazyyyy
Haha it is crazy ain’t it

Ceramic coat your windows and you'll never need any wiper ever again
Thanks a lot from germany for this guide !

Trust me, lol I just did it and haven’t heard the end of it from people 😂 but I never used it on my fk8 and probably will never use it on the Fl5

i didnt have one on my integra and it sucked lol
they sold sedans in japan with rear wipers, we only got them on the Evo. its a pretty genius idea
These are some nice touches, looks good!
Thank you! 🙏
Congrats on the Type R! I also traded my Si in for for the FL5 and will look forward to more content
Congrats to you too! 🙌

i like the rear on the FL5 versus the FK which looked busy
Completely agree
I have the 23 sport touring hatch with a duck bill spoiler and a rear window spoiler aswell I think it looks cool

If you lift up the wiper blade it will be way easier to get off, great video dude
Thank you! And yeah that would have been smarter 😅
Looks good
🙏 thank you!
You don't do wings, that's crazy. Getting rid of the wiper, not sure about that. Anyway, glad to see a fellow FL5 owner, congrats!!!
I do wings lol thanks dude, you roo
Wheres the carbon spoiler from?
Awesome vid Lui! I wish I can get the Type R but they’re too damn expensive lol. Quick question, how are you going to post the aftermarket parts for the Si?
Once I get everything organized, I’ll be posting them on my Instagram

Will this spoiler fit the normal sport touring?
I can’t confirm since I don’t have that car but more than likely
@@lui.racing thanks for the snappy reply. I'm pretty sure the hatch is the same (besides the wide body of course).
@@ViolatioNVibratioN I think so too and ofcourse
but why delete the wiper? is it just aesthetic cause i do use it all the time. Albeit I live in Louisiana with quite a lot of rain and morning condensation
I never use it, never used it on the FK8 I had so I don’t think I’ll miss it. I live in Texas.

Link for the carbon wing?
I don’t have one. It was sent to me for test fitting. The company is called Outside Line Motoring
Lmao. “Daaamn it” 😂😂😂
