Anyway, im trying to line up the top piece of the CAI to the throttle body but it seems nothing is lining up right. If the top piece is connected to the throttle body it wont line up with the Vibra-mount, and vice versa.

It's been about an hour messing with this thing and I can't seem to line it up at all... Seems like the pipe wasn't bent far enough.

A quick reply would be very appreciated.
Is your Civic an Si? If so did you cut away a section of the driver side Fender guard to accommodate the bend of the Injen Cai? I seriously recommend it because otherwise the plastic guard does put pressure on the tube and it will never line up perfectly. Also keep in mind it isn't going to be a perfect alignment. Hook up the tube via the silicone hose to the throttlebody first and then hook up the Vibra mount. It may need a little effort but it will hook up just fine. It was the most difficult install of a CAI on any car I had to do but the results were well worth it. More grunt and you can finally hear the engine roar
PS: Did you take the bumper off? I highly recommend it. I makes the installation a lot easier than going through the wheel well alone.
