(Part 2) Best products from r/civic

I have a 2016 EX, but I grabbed some LED bulbs that had very high ratings on Amazon. Most people will recommend spending a bit more than I did, but I was working on a budget. Here’s some pics of the stock low beams vs the LED bulbs I purchased.

these are my low beams

I love how they match the DRLs. My last car had stock HIDs and the spread was way better. Ultimately, I’d like to upgrade to something with a brighter beam and longer throw.

Most of these LED bulbs are designed to work with reflector headlights. We have projector headlights. The bulbs I bought have the LEDs on each “side” of the bulb unit. Ideally, for projectors, also having an LED on the “top”/“front” of the bulb unit would be ideal. This is all my own personal thinking and based of the research I did. I went with these bulbs because of my budget restrictions.

So I’d recommend these of your budget is Similar to mine. I paid $31 for the pair. I also bought these for the high beams. LOVE the high beams. Super bright and a great throw.

There’s some great higher end lighting options talked about over on the civicX.com forums. I just did what I could for both high and low. There are better and brighter LED options out there in the $100/pair area. Research really goes a long way for sure!

Hope I helped :)

I’ve got a sport sedan. I’m considering getting katzkins for mine and definitely YES on the console liners. I bought the red trimmed ones and I love them. They look great in the car and help keep it clean.

I also got this for the steering wheel because I don’t like that giant weird solid black spot and these . They feel nice and look great.

Not a dumb question at all. I got this spoiler but I’m sure by now there are much better options out there for the same exact price. H11 bulbs are the low beam bulb size for all 10th Gen Civics. I also have LED fog lights which are H8, and an interior LED light conversion, which are all T10 bulbs (again, same for all 10th Gen Civics).

For future help with mods, I heavily suggest you take a look at the 10th Gen Civic forums: Civicx.com . Tons of advice on anything imaginable involving our vehicles, whether it’s help with mods, help diagnosing a problem, or buying/selling parts. Thanks for the compliment, and good luck in the future modding your Civic!

Just realized how vague my reply was.

Weather mats - I was able to get "free" Honda ones from the dealer with my vehicle purchase. They're nice and fit well. I've heard great things about weather tech too. And don't forget one for the trunk too. Mine earned it's keep the first time a milk jug leaked. Super easy cleanup compared to carpet cleaning.

Interior leds - I used these plus this trim removal kit. Trim kit is a nice to have, you probably have something around the house to improvise with. For the actual install hit up you tube for "tenth gen Civic interior lights". It's a very easy job.

Also this was my first time having a car with a nice key fob so I got some of these to keep it from getting beat up. With auto lock, unlock, and push button start, it only leaves my pocket when I'm home anyway.

I have a ‘18 sport hatchback and ordered husky liners on amazon for the front and back. They say they’re for the coupe/sedan but fit perfectly in the hatch as well.

Edit: amazon also has some decent options for the cargo mat but I believe husky also makes one, also there’s a genuine Honda cargo mat if you were looking to go in that direction, college hills Honda usually has pretty good prices on OEM parts and accessories

I've been using Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax for the longest time. Can be found on Amazon, or at Target/Walmart. Basically, anywhere that sells car accessories/parts.

Do note that spray waxes are best applied often. They do not last anywhere near as long as traditional waxes/sealants do. The main advantage is that spray waxes are quick and easy to apply and can be done in minutes, rather than an hour (or more).

Alternatively, consider waterless wax + wax solutions. Can help you keep your car clean in between your regular washes. Especially helps to keep your front bumper and hood clean from debris you accumulate daily.

Buy a $10 one from Costco or Amazon.

I've had mine for a year works like any sunshade does. DO NOT go buy a $90 sunshade like mentioned above... 🤦🏾‍♂️ or do idc it's not my money.

Just an example.

Hey folks, just real quick. I want to thank /u/jrey0617 for the inspiration to do this. My Fiancé and I are going with Mass Effect themes for our cars and seeing how he did his made us want to do the same. Also a huge shoutout to my Fiancé for sitting down and applying the vinyl with me.

The Android Head Unit is from Dasaita...or Phoenix, depending on who you order through. They are the same and comes plug and play. I want to start doing some reviews with the head unit because for some reason, it was difficult for me to find someone who owned the product for a year or longer. I finally found one who said they hadn't been having issues, so I took the plunge. As far as reviews go, I'm thinking I'll do the following assuming I still own the product. It'll be a 1 week, 1 month, 6 month, and a 1 year review. Mostly, I'm hoping it'll last that long and the "reviews" will be more of updating my opinion on the device, what features I wish it had, what it had and doesn't work anymore, etc.

Anyways, here is the link to everything I bought. Everything was purchased through Amazon:

• Dasaita Head Unit
  
• Red Carbon Fiber Vinyl: 1ft x 5ft
  
  Edit:
  
  If anyone is curious on how difficult it is to install the head unit, here is the link to the install video I watched:

  I also want to add that I watched a YouTuber by the name of JDM Panda who had a mini walkthrough on how to change some settings within the Head Unit to get it functioning properly (IE: Music stopped playing when reversing vehicle, unit taking to long to boot up, etc):

For sure- these should be the parts you need (Looks like they're on sale as well), but check at the bottom of the page to confirm they're for the higher-end version of your specific model/year:

Right Tweeter/Trim Panel

Left Tweeter/Trim Panel

Apparently the factory tweeters suck pretty bad, and I wasn't even aware the trim pieces included the tweeters so I never bothered trying them since I had already ordered aftermarket Polk db1001 tweeters that (as far as I'm aware) are the only confirmed aftermarket tweeters that fit perfectly in the trim pieces. Also, my trim pieces came with factory tweeters included but there's a chance they sent me the tweeters in error and it was only supposed to come with just the trim pieces since I couldn't find anything that mentions the tweeters being included.

here's a useful thread on CivicX.com for more info

Wireless FM transmitter (w/ USB charger)

There's the one I purchased. You can find plenty that look similar to it at a fraction of the price. Being as I didn't have PRIME at the time, I was trying to meet a requirement of $50 for free shipping. That's the only product that still works. Super lightweight, bendable, durable, clear. I love it.

Holy crap I was gonna get a car stereo with an lcd screen on amazon but now you have changed my perspective. I would like to know more haha if you have a picture that would be great


Stereo http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051GN8JI/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2CITCN1KPTBQ9&coliid=I2O2FF5NJSLJ5P

I enjoy Collinite 845, Optimum soap, drying aid, for my dash, doors interior, and vinyl on the outside , wash mitt , drying towel , interior and exterior microfibers great for buffing wax and dust on the interior. And if you want that shine and to keep the integrity of your clear coat I would wax every couple months, depending the quality of the wax you decide to go with.

I have had one of these in my car for a few years now.

I like it, its really easy to use and easy to hide as well.

I immediately threw on 900 miles in the first 2 weeks with road trips I wasn't able to take for so long. Lol

She's pretty as is, but I think deleting the chrome trim, blackout the lugs to match your dark tires and darkening your handles would make your whip sexy af.

Think the ones I have are 3D MaxPider or something like that. They're awesome. Lemme see if I can find them.

Edit: found em these kept my carpets immaculate this past winter in the northeast. When they get a little muddy I just pressure wash em and throw them back in

Changing the headlight bulbs won't void your warranty.

If you want a white light then you'll have to either swap the bulbs with an LED kit (cheap), or replace the entire headlamp assembly with an LED assembly (expensive).

There are cheaper LED kits than the one I linked but I would be wary of their quality. Replacing the assembly costs more and takes more work, but the light output is much better.

I've been using these for about a year now and they're good.

Just check the reviews.

I have the 3D MAXpider mats in my CTR. I like them a lot and the carbon weave look gives a more sporty appearance than the OEM and Weathertech mats.

http://www.amazon.com/Kinivo-BTC450-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-Input/dp/B009NLTW60 I just got this and it works well and isn't overly expensive.
