Its almost as if the CCA just kinda falls into place tucked right up underneath the main support. [Ace Ventura] Like a Ga-love!! [/Ace Ventura]

I noticed that. On the EG's they seem to belong there. It's like Honda new what was going to be done. I have renamed the bumper support, the "Intercooler support beam".

On an EF it isn't as perfect though. Some serious hacking of the bumper is involved, but you know it's worth it.

did you also have to notch the front corners of your mounting tabs? i just notched mine with a dremel and it fell in like it belonged there.

I haven't notched them yet, but I plan on it. It doesn't really make a huge difference, but it will look a little nice when the bumper is off. No big deal, though. I did find it a little tighter when I was putting the bumper back on, like where it mounts to the fenders behind the headlights.

Did you just polish the end tanks? What did you use to do it with? I was thinking about doing this. I wanna see my sneakers in that ----.

The intercooler looks great!! To fit mine in.. i took the easy way out... i had a 9 inch metal grinder... ya, it melted the crap out of it, but it is my bad bumper anyway, so i wasn't to worried about it. I think any civic in general looks that much better with a nice fmic on it

I used the softest stainless wire wheel on a cordless to clean it up.Then I used 220grit,320,400(wet sand),600(wet sand),mediun steel wool and then fine steel wool.That gets it Ready for Mothers Aluminum polish on a bufing wheeel on the end of a cordless drill.Get your sunglases and wipe the mothers polish off.BLING,BLING!!

Its not as hard as it sounds.It took me 1/2 hour to do it.Well worth it IMO.
