Yes, side mirrors were from the hybrid, but then I tinted it, so were practically useless during the day. Glad the civic days are long gone.

Oh well I put a fake chrome trim with some sticker to make it look like a turn signal on my old camry. I guess we all went through that phase in life.

no damage at all. lip was in pristine condition and wrapped very well. the chrome trim that goes in the center is still wrapped as well so it will look great once completed.

But on the other hand, the fitment is 100% way better than the HFP front lip was on my civic back in the day.

I remember my Honda days. after I got my first Evo, I was NOT looking back! lol. but looking at your civic, HFP is supposed to be Honda Factory Performance line. Isn't the fitment supposed to be out the box OEM?
