My car is still at Dynosty, and they absolutely hate Mercracing now. From what I was told sometime last week that the kit was missing pieces to complete the installation, which I took as damn near all the hardware to actually complete the install. I won't know exactly what until I go back up there sometime next week. I am both looking forward to and not looking forward to going there. I should have just went with a damn turbo.

Oh, and fitment issues with it.
What pieces would be missing?

I'm guessing like whatever specific nuts/bolts to put it together. Like I said, I don't know the exact details, but will find out whenever I go get my car back.
That’s pretty weak. Missing misc bus and bolts

You're telling me.

I bought the handbrake and shifter cover from:

PONSNY Official Store Or search Civic 9 handbrake cover on aliexpress

They only had black and red stitching so I asked the seller to put blue stitching and they did.
Shifter cover doesn't fully hug the shifter but the stitching in the front is enough to keep it from moving.
Handbrake cover is a snug fit.

good ol' nail polish trick wont be enough to save it?
This lady at my work has a Maserati Ghibli that I detail from time to time - she curbed a wheel like a month ago and she goes “can’t you just buff it off” 🤣🤣🤣

Got some more of the old decrepit PPF off - gosh this stuff is driving me nuts… to this point I have removed from headlights, back of mirrors, behind door handles and one quarter panel. The other quarter panel is still PPF, the hood and the whole bumper 🫣😖. Im just going to get a carbon hood so no worries there but as for the rest ughhhhhh takes forever - so hard to get off and it’s all scratched up so it’s little pieces at a time

I got my wheels fitted on today! I was/am super stoked on how they look. 18x8.5 +35 looks really good, even on stock suspension. Pushed the face of the wheels right inline with the fender, which I'm beyond happy about. I'll include some pictures below. I guess my next project is tackling the monstrous wheel gap, but may not be able to accomplish it until another year or two. Optimal choice would be a height drop similar to HFP suspension, but apart from already being rarer than a MF to find, it won't fit on a '15 sedan.

Anyway, white on white looks pretty cool. I stored my OEM wheels for use maybe later. It makes me wonder what the OEM blades would look like in white.

As a further note, the OEM wheels are super heavy! I was cleaning them up before I stored them and man, they sure weigh a bunch. I did feel a small difference in handling/acceleration with the lighter AP5s. I think it's 30lbs OEM vs 20lbs AP5s.

When I was able to on Saikospeed's site, I had looked at gear x gear set and their diff.

I think it was Mfactory, I don't think Gear X makes diffs.
Very nice 👍
Thank you, I have to give it up to the guy who actually installed it and dealt with many issues with it.
Ohhh babyyyy, that’s a sweet addition! You had it tuned/dyno‘d already?
*Also, I saw in previous comments about upgrading differential, is that common to change out with this supercharger kit? IMO it’s plenty of power and very usable BUT people with much bigger turbo builds making substantially more power than this don’t even have upgraded diff’s - is it because it’s a belt driven supercharger?
Very jealous tho bro, post some short acceleration videos if you can! 🤙🏻
