i just did a horn swap on my 08 civic sedan. I installed an 05 honda element horn, it was just plug and play, also spliced extra wire on to the wire before plug to keep stock horn hooked up also. Both horns sounded great together but i ended up unpluging the stock one.i thought it had a problem when i looked doors with key button the horns didnt honk. so i unhooked the stock one. I later realized the cause was the car trunk wasnt latched causing car not to lock or honk when pushing the key button. Oh well if i ever have the front bumper of again i will hook it all back up.


I also did a dyi installed home depot gutter guard sceen to help protect the ac condensor from flying objects. the lower screen is screwed on the backside with #10 washers on the screwheads. Believe it or not there are holes to screw small short sheet metal srews to hold the screen . the two top holes around the grill was a little more trickey, i had to drill some holes and ziptie the screen on.

All and All things went well with the removal of the front bummper cover. I only lost one of the two philips screws that secere the bumper cover in the wheel wells. this hapened when i was trying to start thre screw, it fell inside . i may get a new one at the dealler but it doesnt seem really important


the bumper removal pics were great Thanks Brad
