Hey Speed Academy! A friend of mine has the 9th gen SI with a Kraftwerks charger k24. He had a similar looking hood as this 8th gen and had the taller deck issue. What he did was he got hood spacers at the hinges and trimmed the inner structure where the charger fits. In the end, he had just enough room for the charger while keeping the sweet carbon hood. Not sure if it'll work for the 8th gen but it's worth looking into. As a fellow 8th gen SI owner, I can't wait to see the little Civic respectfully smoke the M3 on track! Good luck with both builds!

Negative Nancy w/ info:
That Ktuned dipstick is very prone to pushing out of position, it took them three revisions to finally put a retention spring on it. Highly recommend either getting a different brand or getting their v3 dipstick. Converting to a "blow through" style setup, eliminating the maf sensor will net much more power and will not restrict the size of the intake pipe, allowing the rotex to pull in more air, it will need to be tuned which you already are doing but it wont affect driveability. The selection for the lightened flywheel is almost a guarantee to have poor/jumpy throttle characteristics. If you do NOT put on a 3in exhaust you will have basically defeated the purpose of putting on that charger alone. Even N/A the K series heads breathe extremely well, anything smaller than 3in will drastically cut both hp and tq, staying with a 2.5in will not net a useable powerband.
All that said still love the build! Keep at it guys

Once you cut that clearance hole for the blower, you can probably find or make a small fiberglass hump, similar to an eagle talon, and then paint match it to the body. To the untrained eye, it might look OEM. Alsooo, you could maybe cut a hole above that filter and install a paint matched naca duct. I think the result of those two would look pretty sweet.
Loving the series boys! ❤
