I picked up a 2015 ILX 2.4 earlier this year. Its been hard sourcing out aftermarket parts but here's what I've done so far.

OEM mud guards
OEM spoiler wrapped in 4D carbon fiber vinyl
Rear bumper wrapped in 4D carbon fiber vinyl for a diffuser look
Side mirrors wrapped in 4D carbon fiber vinyl
Yellow daytime running lights
Yellow Lamin X fog light covers
H&R Springs
5Zigen FN01r-c

Just ordered a DC Sports cold air intake and narrowing down choices for the downpipe as well.

Damn should come by these parts sooner. We have just about everything available for the these cars now. Well the pre 2016 anyway. I think 2015 is still waiting on support from hondata. But aside from that... tell us what you want to install and we'll point you where to find it.

space_boy

Thanks for the support.

Just had my grill done this past weekend.

2012wagon

Car looks great


Those wheels were very popular when I had my 93 MR2 Turbo back in the day. Lots of guys had them.


Nice car.

iRaw

I plan to wrap my grill the same way.

Did you have to remove the front bumper or upper tray cover in the engine bay to do this?

usdmJON

He said he had it done so I assume he didnt do it himself.

space_boy

Thanks for the comments. I'm actually looking for a more aggressive fitment on my wheels, going to try to sell these soon.

I had a friend do it for me. He said he just removed the grill and wrapped it. It was a quick job.

Looking great!

I was planning on upgrading to a more aggressive wheel setup next Spring, but hit a huge pothole and bent one of my previous wheels and busted two of my tires so I picked up a nice set of Advans. Fitment is much better.

usdmJON

Sweet. Any close ups of the wheels? Dont see those advans too often.

the advans complement the ILX very well!
better than your first set! good job!

space_boy

Thanks guys. I'm going to clean her up a bit and take photos this weekend with a better camera.

spedi_ladi

Nice grill...is it new/replaced? If replacement, where can I find one?
2016 ILX Black on Black (Bob)lol

2012wagon

It just has a wrap on it. It is the same grille that came with the car

spedi_ladi

Ugh...okay.
Thanks for the quick reply.

space_boy

Lost my camera for a bit, only found it today. Some pics I took previously. This weekend is going to be a DIY front lip project

ILXDyna

Great job, looks fantastic! Can you list the wheel/tire specs thats the exact fitment Im looking for. Thanks.

space_boy

Thanks. The wheels are 18x8 with 235/45 tires on them. It fits the fender gap nicely. The 7.5's I had before were too narrow for the rears for my taste

ILXDyna

Thanks and what is the offset? Nice advans!

space_boy

Thanks. Offset is +60.

ILXDyna

Are you sure about that, +60 seems really high to be that flush? Love the wheels regardless.

usdmJON

Well I mean he could be that flush with 60 offset and 18x8 wheels if he was running some good size spacers.

Finally got my first power mod. Ended up getting a Password JDM intake about two weeks ago since there's a Christmas sale. The install took a long time as some of the parts did not fit and I had to adjust a few times before it would fit properly and get the hood to close. Either way, I'm happy with my purchase, car sounds good at WOT, next up will be a downpipe and Hondata tune.

usdmJON

Sweeet. Started following you on IG. Good looking build.

jblively

Hold your horses on a Hondata tune. They refuse to add support for our 2015 ILX's.

Please go here and let them know your ECU number and post that you want support.

I have the 2014 model, the last of the manuals. Just an update, I ordered and installed a 3' downpipe. Removing the OEM one was a pain, took a few hours...

Car is definitely louder now but no rattle issues that some people have purported on the Civic SI's. It clears everything very easily, just needed to mount an angled 02 sim for the 02 sensor. The increase in power is felt in the higher RPM range and with the stock exhaust, its not that loud from the outside. Inside, it is a little bit on the loud side but I'll learn to live with it. I'll try to get some pics of the install when the snow clears.

space_boy

Just an update. Took advantage of the warm weather we had this weekend. Painted the intake manifold cover and re-did the front with a little red outline.

usdmJON

What did you use to add the red? Is it a vinyl pinstripe or PD?

space_boy

I used red pin striping. Easy to remove just in case it didn't come out nicely. I actually had it on before too, but used thicker striping this time so that it stands out a little more. Wanted to try something different.

vybz76

Where did u get the wrap from?

Nexx

great looking ILX! Jon, you found another angle to shoot your car?!?!?

usdmJON

Get a fucking life you pathetic troll.

space_boy

Just a quick update. Ordered the Skunk2 weighted shift knob and installed it. Shifting feels much smoother with the additional weight. Will try and install a black with red stitching shift boot next and maybe change the interior a bit with a trim kit.

Tyler235

I've got a automatic 2 litre ilx and and it didn't have enough juice for my likeing can't seem to find much anybody have suggestions

TacoBello

Yo bro, check out ma sig, ya dig?

Tyler235

No dig.... Lol

Nice ride. I am jealous I picked up a used 2013 Dynamic last year as I wanted stick and 2016 opted to drop that transmission (would have been nice to have the bigger infotainment centre and better ELS stereo). I really like the wrap on the front grill. Great work on the mods. Did you get a chance to Dyno your car yet. I have some of the same mods and was curious?

space_boy

Thanks. No, I haven't been on a dyno yet. I'm only planning a few more power mods and I'm done. I had a built up NA RSX-S before and it was a money pit. Hopefully, I'll be able to hit 195-200 whp and I'll be happy.

Chrifff

Based on what you have done so far I would imagine you are in pretty close to what you were aiming for (probably 185-190 WHP). There is no doubt I can feel the difference on the few performance mods I have done. 10 hp would be hard to notice however I believe I am in the neighborhood of 20-25 ponies over stock:
- Injen CAI
- Rv6 - Stainless highflow catted down pipe
- Hondata Pro Flash.
