  1. Best Aftermarket Leather For OEM Appearance?

    Do they change in appearance from the time you install them to say a month later? I'm wondering if I'm seeing a ton of pictures and videos just after install before they're broken in and stretched maybe? I don't like firm seats. I just don't want the seats to lose the contour of their shape...
  2. Need Advice Finding Expert Detail Shop? Not A Car Wash That Does 'Details'

    I'm 1 1/2 years into my 3 year lease and considering keeping the car so now I want to take care of it a bit more than I honestly was up until now. I've mainly done a two bucket system for washing with a Quik Detailer Spray for touch-ups in between. I have light feather like scratches on some...
  3. Type R steering wheel install

    For those who have upgraded to this wheel what kind of aftermarket leather would I need to upgrade the seats and door inserts to in order for it to all match? I have an EX and this appears to be different leather than the EX-L has right? The wheel appears to be a much softer and smoother...
  4. Best Aftermarket Leather For OEM Appearance?

    I'm looking to upgrade to leather. I'm over the cloth seats and constantly cleaning them. Katzkin seems to be the name that pops up in most searches and I've seen that name at dealers before today. I've searched videos and pictures in places and is it me or do these seats not look OEM at all...
  5. Has Anyone Wrapped The Gloss Black Area On Front Bumper?

    Has anyone wrapped the gloss black area of the front bumper to protect it from road debris? Mine unfortunately has some very light scratches that i'm sure will buff out but I'm trying to come up with a solution so it always looks perfect. I'm guessing a wrap of some sort would probably be the...
  6. 10th Gen Civics Of OKLAHOMA

    Just finding this thread as I rarely see Oklahoma owners on the owners. I have a 2017 Sonic Grey EX HB that I’m leasing (May keep but haven’t decided yet) and live in Yukon/Piedmont. I want the red underbody kit and leather so may swap models at least end to get that stuff.
  7. Steering Wheel Covers?

    Has anyone found a Steering Wheel cover that doesn't look aftermarket and/or cheap for their Hatch yet? I hate the plastic/vinyl steering wheel and it's starting to show minor signs of wear in places. I miss not having a leather steering wheel or interior. If so, can you please post pictures...
  8. Best Quick Detailer & Bug Removal Spray?

    I can’t even find Bugaboo on a google search.
  9. Type R As First Manual Transmission Car?

    Good to know. Have you done any 3+ hr road trips in the Type R? I'd probably rent a car for those but curious to know how comfortable the seat was after that long or how driving a manual transmission on the turnpikes and highways is for long periods of time? I'm so spoiled by cruise control.
  10. Type R As First Manual Transmission Car?

    Don't worry about being biased. I personally think the Type R stands out more (appearance wise) and I know it has more cargo and passenger room. I traded in my Mustang for the EX Hatchback because I needed more room in the backseat for the kids. I recall the RS having very uncomfortable...
  11. Type R As First Manual Transmission Car?

    I'm considering upgrading to a Type R or Focus RS after my EX lease is up. I have always wanted a manual transmission car but never owned one and I love the Sonic Grey Type R. I see that my area has some manual transmission driving schools that I would take prior to test driving and/or buying...
  12. Car Washes - Please Don't Hate Me Too Much

    I've never heard of this product before. I'll check it out. Thanks.
  13. Upgraded Hatch Sport interior

    Can you please explain the differences once installed between the 3 brands you work with? I want an OEM look as well but my concern with all the Katzkin pictures I've seen is the leather doesn't look tight or factory at all. I want it to feel nice and be comfortable but also not look sloppy and...
  14. Best Quick Detailer & Bug Removal Spray?

    I'm on my 2nd bottle of this Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailerfor quick washes between full washes with the 2 bucket system or the occasional car wash. It's worked well but was curious to know what everyone else uses? This runs $9.99 per bottle. I also find another bottle called Meguiar's Gold...
  15. Any Sonic Grey Hatch owners out there?

    Can you please post more pictures like this? I'm thinking about doing the red underbody pieces like you did and that alternate wing. Would love to see it from other angles.
  16. Car Washes - Please Don't Hate Me Too Much

    Alright Everyone. I LOVE to wash my car by hand (nothing fancy, just a simple wash and hand dry with microfiber towels). That said, there are times like right now where I haven't had the time to do it and the car sits dirty for weeks and I hate it. I've gone through an automatic car wash at...
  17. How To Use 'Add A Fuse' On Interior Fuse Box?

    Thanks for your help! It's working. I'm paranoid it's going to catch on fire or fry my car but it's working haha. My only concern now is the LED strips are getting pretty hot after they've been on for as little as 5 minutes and I need to figure out if that was normal before I start zip-tying...
  18. How To Use 'Add A Fuse' On Interior Fuse Box?

    Great, thanks. Is there where you grounded your install I assume? Were you able to find one that fit easily or did you have to manually open yours? I assume they can only open so much right?
  19. How To Use 'Add A Fuse' On Interior Fuse Box?

    You are the most patient person in a forum ever btw. Thank you for helping. The gauge appears to be 18. I see AWG18 written on it. It looks like it's speaker cable too. Space Lug and Spade Terminal both brought up the same google images so I guess they could be called both? That gives me a...
