Not quite sure where to put this, so I'll just put it here. I drive a 2012 Si Coupe, and I'm having a hard time finding mods to put on. What I want is to put on Lambo-style doors, up the horsepower, and get a push bar or grill guard. Does anyone know where I might be able to find any of these?

Hahaha a push guard....you herding cattle with your civic?

That's why I put the guard last. I think it'd be cool, but I'm not 100% interested in it. As for the doors, I am entirely serious.

At least wait until the damn thing is out of warranty before you ruin it.

Fine, but can anyone provide links as to WHERE I might be able to find some of this?

You should save your money instead of doing the doors and push guard and put it into the engine and suspension imo

Yeah I don't expect anything will be cheap. I wanted to go for looks first, but hell, I'll go for whatever I can get. Either way, it's going to be a while until I get enough to do much. Thanks for the input. Any suggestions as to what I should get? (When I can afford it, that is)

Man, my attitude might be rubbing off on some people. LOL.

I'm thinking Google isn't turned on in Precious Snowflakes' area yet.


He wants a pushbar....you know who else always wore a pushbar?
That's right

I can guess the paint job the Civic is gonna have too.

hahaha.. Nah, Sandro's always been like that.. He's just toned it down a lot bit.

BUT, back at OP, you don't wanna do the lambo doors. Trust me, I've been there. I had that phase, and I even have a hinge kit for my car collecting dust somewhere. They were on my car for a week before I realized that it'll take more time and effort than it was worth to get them lined up nicely. Also, I got sick of hitting my head on the bottom of the door. I'd save my money and use that 500 or so bucks toward a nice suspension setup or building up that K20 you have under that hood..

BUT, if you're so eager to put lambo doors on your civic, I'm not one to stop you. I'm just giving you first-hand experience and letting you make a decision from there.

I spent 3 hours on google and all I could find were 8th gen pieces and kits. If I would have found something, I wouldn't have asked. I was hoping someone would direct me to a place they had known and used and was reliable.

I'm not changing the paint.

Thanks for your input, Riceboy. I'll put some more thought into it -- I heard from someone else that it was more work than it was worth, and the payoff wasn't that great either

ah, ok, my bad. was not that clear when i read.

keep in mind the '12 model have been around for a year or so, so aftermarket parts are still hard to find and even less guys that did the mods.

Re: Modifications
 
I'll just wait out the warranty: by then I might have enough money and some more mods might be out for this car. And because there aren't that many 2012 Si's it might take longer for kits to be put on the market.

Don't forget you got 5year/60,000 miles warranty on the powertrain too.

We just got our very first '12 Si last week.

Then I'll wait 5 years or start doing laps in parking lots

Yeah I went to two different dealers to buy this car -- one took two months and still hadn't gotten one, so we took our business to the other dealer who just trucked it in from Atlanta
