  1. Odd Behaviour with my Civic

    Happens to me nearly once a month. It's always when I leave work and first open the trunk with the button on the trunk itself. When I close the trunk, the yellow running lights come on and no functions on the remote will work anymore. I have to use the manual key to get in and when I do, the...
  2. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    Really love the look of your Civic. What wheels are those?
  3. Officially left civic-x ownership

    WOW. Bought a used 2016 EX-T with similar miles that was very well maintained back in June and paid just over $18k.
  4. The "Who regrets their purchase!" Thread

    I have the black color as well (there were very few used EX-T on the market when my previous car was totaled and I needed a "new" car ASAP). Ended up with black but God would I give anything for lunar silver...
  5. Are you happy with your cloth seats?

    I definitely wanted cloth seats over leather. My parents always had leather in their cars which was just brutal in Texas summers. While I wanted cloth, I don't necessarily love the cloth utilized in these seats. I have the black seats and they have white markings all over them even though I have...
  6. People suck

    Ugh, this is the worst - so sorry this happened to you. I bought my car used in June and it cost me $520 to have around 2 dozen door dings removed from it. Honestly, the body on the Civic seems so thin that I don't think it takes much to ding them, unfortunately. :( I 100% agree with you...
  7. I'm Back With Some nice Mods

    What shop do you use, may I ask? I'm in Dallas as well. While I should learn how to do some of this stuff myself, sometimes I'd rather have someone who actually knows what they are doing take care of it lol.
  8. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    This looks really sharp. I also have the CBP and after putting on the Type R black grill, this will be the next thing I do. I think the smoked side markers would looks great as well!
  9. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    It wasn't the whole car, just the whole front (full fenders, full hood, front bumper, headlights, mirrors, front part of the roof in front of the sunroof, and the little ledge at the trunk. I got Suntek/Llumar's newer answer to XPEL Ultimate and it was $1350. I have never spent that kind of...
  10. What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

    I opted for PPF on the whole front after getting the car for a few weeks and already having numerous noticeable rock chips. I couldn't take obsessing over it anymore so I bit the bullet. 100% worth the money, would do it again in a heartbeat. I'm applying Crystal Light Serum to the rest of the car.
  11. How is the Android Auto/CarPlay system in everyday use?

    I was skeptical but I really like Android Auto. The maps function is great, the voice recognition very helpful, and Spotify was already my media player of choice. I use it more often than not when I drive.
  12. Paint Correction

    Some of it is RIDS (most of the ones irritating me the most are), but then there are sections (for example, the back left side between the taillight and black plastic piece where it looks like someone took a MF filled with coarse dirt and scratched the crap out of it. Doesn't appear deep but...
  13. Paint Correction

    I'm using the CG hex logic foam pads, the orange for compound and white pad for polish. I was reading MF can be far more aggressive than the yellows so I hadn't even considered that at this point. I did buy some M101 to try so I'm sort of committed to foam at this point since it's a foam cut...
  14. Paint Correction

    I recently purchased a used black 2016 Civic. I had PDR to remove around a dozen door dings and have been attempting paint correction since then with plans to put on a coating once I'm satisfied. Trouble is it's not going so hot. This paint has me baffled. It appears very soft given how...
  15. How would you spend 2000$ on your civic?

    I have the black color, and coming off a white colored car with single stage paint, this thing chips like crazy. In the first week of limited inner-city highway driving I had damn near 6 new little chips in the hood. Spent $1350 on PPF install for the full front and it was well worth it. Other...
  16. Sad to See... Hopefully not one of ours....

    Agree. Looks like they cut it and peeled the roof back for extrication. My dad was killed by an 18-wheeler who plowed into stopped traffic at 70 mph. His car looked a lot like this and that's what the roof damage was from.
  17. Quietest tires?

    I put Pirellis on my old Sentra. Road noise was better but like you said, traction in wet conditions left something to be desired. They were also completely worn at 20k miles..maddening. Changed to Michelin Premier A/S and the traction improvement was dramatic still with minimal road noise. Best...
  18. Replacing cloth on seat bottom?

    Awesome, thank you!
  19. Replacing cloth on seat bottom?

    I'm so glad you said this before I wasted my time with Scotchguard! I had also wondered if the dealer had used something on the seats that made them look better because every time I saw the car prior to purchase, I NEVER saw any stains in the seat (which I know without a doubt I would have).
