I guess they(Honda) make their tail lights a pain to remove since they are often stolen(or used to be). So I just removed that feature and they fit tight as a drum still. Plus now if I ever have to replace them its a 5 minute job =).

Yep, LED Headlights are next on the cosmetic list, I agree that a Hybrid just should have LED components, they just fit.

Are those just glued on or do they have posts like the honda ones? I haven't tried to remove them yet, it was on my list though lol.

The "Civic" and "Hybrid" badges just have foam tape, and can be removed in minutes with fishing line followed by Goof-Off.

Oh, and don't forget to pick up a genuine Honda exhaust finisher! Here's photos of my front/rear JDM badges, and the exhaust finisher.

Looks pretty good, doesn't it?

Yeah the finisher is mandatory.

One day I'm going to do some new wheels too maybe. I am just not feeling the stockers.

Yep, your car looks clean Steven, yours is an 09 so it has a slightly different body trim(facelift year) I can't tell which years i like better they each have their own look. I want to get some of the red JDM badges too I think they just look better than solid chrome…

i had the same problem with my 2006. read my previous posts. call ford directly, don't listen to your dealer. mine also said they couldn't reproduce it, so i took a photo of it when it came on and showed them the photo. eventually ford sent someone to fix it (they eventually ackknowleded it was a problem. in one of my posts i listed the fix). they resolved my problem (sort of), the light comes on for me right after i get my car serviced, but then only comes on maybe once more and then goes away. again, call ford directly, go to the website, there is a service number and file a report.
