Hello !

I'm new here!

I bought a 2018 civic hatchback ex in February and I've recently been looking into cosmetic changes for my car.

It's the lunar silver color. I'm thinking about adding mud flaps, plasti dipping the logos and other little things. Havent decided on the colors I'm torn between sticking to just black, or black and blue mix or black and pink mix. Any suggestions?

Also I want to relocate the front license plate so I can add a delete. Have you guys found any kits that look good and are easy ? Or have any tricks on how to do it ? I kinda dont wanna drill holes into my bumper if I dont have to.


Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Just bought mine at beginning of September. So far I've plasti-dip the emblem's, fuel door and tail lights. 20% tint, smoked side markers and wind visors. Also carbon fiber covers for door handles.

Wrap your roof in black vinyl, makes a huge impact on the cars look. Cost me only $300 all in to have a shop wrap it. Or attempt it yourself.. Due to the 'shark fin' antenna on the roof, my shop just cut around it and ended up spraying it with plasti-dip to match it. Looks perfect. Good luck bro.

For your handles what did you do? Over the weekend I plasti dipped the emblems and gas door and relocated license plate. My pics aren't that good so excuse me

For your handles what did you
Handles are factory, they are just chromed because of the Touring trim - the pictures make it look like they are blacked out or something, personally I like the look of the chrome handles. It makes the side of the car "pop" the proof is you noticing them. If they were matching white it wouldnt be contrasted. I have done some more work on my car recently and will post some pictures here soon, pretty unique cosmetic look I havnt seen in any other civic on this website.

It's tough to have a side mount license plate due to the way our front bumper is. I used a combination of "L" brackets and a relocator bracket I found on ebay. It's not perfect but good enough for me.

Looks good but $300 for a roof wrap and he didn't take off the shark fin? Yikes! I would do it for $150

Do you like the mix of carbon fiber and black? I like your setup. I’m debating if I should stick with either just carbon fiber or just black.

IMO I wouldn't plasti-dip, yes its cost effective and easy, but I would spend the money and go with OEM glossy emblem like these
