Arsh's 2018 EX Hatchback

arsh88 · Nov 15, 2021

I never knew how much I'd end up changing on my ride to do a build post, but I've finally decided that I've started changing enough and sharing enough on this board over the years that a thread might be justified.

I'll try and either post pictures or links directly related to anything I've done.

This is my daily driver so I haven't dove into tuning yet, but I went from an hour and a half daily commute pre covid to work from home with maybe a day in the office once a month so I finally feel more comfortable tackling that, so maybe this spring I'll get rolling. Here's what I've done so far.

Exterior:

Enkei Draco Wheels (stock are being used as winters on my SO's sport touring)
Pro Civic (HIC) Mugen window visors
USR/Depo 911 style amber LED side markers

Canadian side skirt turbo style decal but on the back window
Katana LED low beams and high beams
- here's the thread I made a while back, its easier than reposting all of that since it's a topic in and of itself: https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/katana-led-h11-headlight-review.34332/

Interior:

red chrome panel gap to go on the dash trim (not pictured yet)
carbon fiber steering grips (might swap to red)

Mugen door sills
Mugen Power armrest pad ($8 solution vs re-doing the interior)
Rixxu Super Sport Seat Covers (front only so far, will install back seats in the spring)

I also have a few items ready for next spring but the MN winters make it way too cold to try and do most of these within reason this winter, thus i'll probably be ordering a lot of stuff and waiting to finally put it in my car once my wallet has recovered.

What's upcoming:
