8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - Removing mud flaps and front and rear brake cooling vents...?

maybe, i hope so. i'll have to jack up the car so i could get a really good look under there. i need all the room i can get cause when i took off the rear brake cooling vents and a 4 of the mud flaps, i didn't jack the car up cause everything was EASY and came off with no problems. i had slightly a difficult time a little bit cause i didn't have the right type of screw drivers and stuff. i had those little tiny screw drivers with the little handles and it was kinda hard to get them into the screw grooves and not hit the tires cause they were in the way. but everything came off

. now as far as those FRONT BRAKE COOLING VENTS go, thats another story cause they're locked in place by those "RIVETS". all the other things i took off didn't have those on them and now i guess i need a special tool to take them off. i don't just wanna pull at it and possibly break them off and destroy other things in the process. so now when you look underneath my Si, all you see left are those FRONT BCV's. everything else is off and clean as hell!

. i like my car with everything out from underneath. I REALLY have to get those remaining front BCV's off to complete the cars look.
