  1. PSA: Honda has changed the Sonic Gray Pearl color & what to do if you need touch up paint

    I brought this topic up a while ago on here and some other forums, but it seems that Honda has changed the SGP color but KEPT the same part number/paint code between 10th and 11th generations. How I know this is by buying some touchup paint from Honda and seeing that there was not as nearly as...
  2. Any DIY repair/fix for those types of scratches?

    This happened to me yesterday while backing up my 2019 Hatch, in a tight area. Pretty bad scratches. I'd love to know what you'd suggest me to repair/fix those. Lend me your expertise! Thank you! :cry:
  3. Paint scratch/chipped

    Hey guys! New here so forgive any newb vibes. Parked my car outside and got dinged up. I wanted to repair the scratch myself but it also lost some paint. Just wondering if there’s any spray paint (or any other alternatives) that matches a lunar silver metallic (not sure what Honda calls the...
  4. Replace Piano Black Trim Near Automatic Shift Lever

    I just bought my 2016 Touring from a dealer. There are some minor and some major cosmetic aspects of the car I want to repair. After reviewing forum threads, videos, and as much information as I could find, I went and bought some PlastX and attempted removing the scratches. However, I either did...
  5. 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Bumper and Grill Scratch

    Hey guys!! New to the forum! I recently purchased a 2017 Civic Hatch a few weeks ago and of course last night someone backed into it ‍♂️. Wondering what you think the best way to go about repairing it would be? I believe the color is lunar silver so I’m going to try and go to my dealership after...
  6. Paint Scratches from Tinting?

    If you have the tenth gen hatch, make sure you find a reliable tint shop. I went to this guy who was recommended by the dealership and he ended up scratching the paint all around the interior plastic panels where he went to pry them off to access the hatch window. He claims that he's done...
  7. Dealership scratched my car and attempted to cover it up.

    I went to a dealership to get door sills installed. Their name I am leaving out for legal reasons. I was advised the service would take one and a half hours and decided to wait at the dealership. I turned my GoPro dashcam on and went to the waiting area. Two and a half hours later, I walk over...
  8. Best rear bumper protector

    I hate that the back bumper is so vulnerable to scratches from idiots who pull right into you when parallel parking on crowded streets. Even a small scratch can cost between $300-900 to fix properly. What is a good rear bumper protector protector for the Civic (like one of these...
  9. Looking to touch up a scratch from dealer...

    TL;DR - How do I fix this scratch? Touch-up pen? A bit of backstory here... So I got this car in July from a small dealership in NC. I never noticed the scratch until about a week later, as it was covered by the dealer decal. I live in Tennessee, so it’s really impractical to go back to the...
  10. Help with Scratched/Scuffed Rim

    Hey all, first post on here: I've been babying my 2018 SI for the 3 months I've had it, and finally managed to get a little too close to the sidewalk. Any advice on what I can do that get this fixed/buffed out so it's not AS bad? I have no problem taking it to the dealer to see what they can...
  11. Paint failure, or did someone back into me?

    This is on the right side, rear bumper under the taillight. I found it washing the car this morning... I don't really see any deformation letting me know someone backed into me, and my car is barely 3mos old. It almost looks like a hair in the paint... Was just wondering if I should take this...
  12. Small scratches on roof

    I've only had the car for a few weeks now (brand new) and I'm already getting a lot of tiny deep scratches on the roof, no more than a centimeter long - some in "twos". I park it in a garage at home and on the street at work, away from other cars. Any idea what could be causing these scratches...
  13. Front driver door keyed - next steps

    While my car (just under a month old from the dealership) was parked in my gated garage, some asshole decided to key it and leave a nice deep scratch on the driver door. This is the photo of the scratch when I discovered it the next day: I filed a police report and an insurance claim (I'm...
  14. Interior Dash Plastic Scuffs/Scratches

    There are a couple places where the dash hard plastic is a little scuffed and slightly scratched. I was a bit stupid too and used my fingernail to try and press/scratch down a little of it, but I may have roughed it up a bit more. Not really bad, but noticable. Any good...
  15. Homeless guy had fun keying my civic, best options?

    I was at a coffee shop and noticed my car was severely scratched when I got back to my car. Coffee shop owner noticed that a homeless guy also scratched two other cars. Filled a police report and the police are looking for the guy (due to his homeless situation, I don't think its worth the...
  16. Deep scratches found on coupe

    Hey guys so I found these fairly deep marks a week or two ago and would like to get around to fixing them. It kinda looks like it was almost intentional but I could be wrong, if anyone has some theories I wouldn't mind hearing them :) Its' a 2 year lease so any advice on how to make it return to...
  17. Scratched up my touch screen :(

    So, I was a humongous idiot. Took my beloved Civic EX-T coupe for a car wash and was using the self-use vacuum to clean the inside. Stupidly, I decided to run the vacuum over the touch screen without checking to see if the nozzle was rubberized. Later, when the sunlight hit my touchscreen, I...
  18. 2012 Honda Civic - Hit a Curb - Fix Now or Can Wait

    So within the first week of getting this car I hit a curb and as you can see put a large dent/scratch in the lower side body. Cosmetics don't matter to me too much (worse your car looks less people want to mess with it in the area I live in) so if the damage will not lead to rust and further...
  19. Scratches in chrome grille

    Any recommendations as to getting some pretty unsightly scratches out of the chrome grille? I already have Meguiars Scratch X 2.0 but didn't want to put this on there without some other ideas. Looks like someone went with a sponge across the top and I have no idea how this happened!! Help!
