Aftermarket concerns!

[Brandons2697]

I know Honda is trying to get rid of the whole ricer look with the new Civic, but how much will that affect the aftermarket? I'm wanting to get a carbon fiber trunk, hood, and splitters. Do you think I'll be able to get it?

I'd say give the car some time to be out and most aftermarket parts will start becoming available. It's a brand new car now so it'll take some time for companies to catch up.

Is there a "go to" website to order the aftermarket parts?

They're sure taking their sweet time with the aftermarket

The car hasn't been out long enough for anything significant. Full chassis redesign and a first iteration of the 1.5T means nothing crosses over AND the coupes just got released, I suspect most of the market to be tailored to the coupe as 4 doors aren't that cool to modify in this class of cars.

I bought an aftermarket moon roof visor and within a week the 3M tape literally pulled off the corner of the visor. Ordered an aftermarket hood deflector and it didn't fit! The OEMs I then had installed were perfect. Yes, more expensive but they are quality and fit!

Sorry to hear that. That'd be a real bummer

My Honda dealer gave me an employee discount on the hood deflector - a substantial drop in price! I have been their customer for 29 years.

Does yours look like a mustache?

Well Brandon, I personally have a goatee which includes a mustache, and it makes me look distinguished. So my car also looks distinguished. ;-)

I am starting to see more aftermarket items (aka Made in China). I am amazed at some members seemingly adding so much ABS chrome to their 2016s that I picture the results looking like a Kenilworth truck - chrome, chrome, chrome!
