I financed the car last year, ('16 Touring, 33k miles, Certified Preowned for ~19k) (First car as a college student, using my parents to help) and so far I have done the following

Interior
Shift Cover
Dash side Covers
Pedal Covers
AC Covers
Gear Cover
Inner Gear Cover
Dash Cover
Start/Stop Cover
Tweeter Speaker Cover
Steering Wheel Button Covers
Interior Lights
Full Cover Weather Mats

Exterior
Window Chrome Delete


With these things I was relatively happy, certain things I wanted to get but didn't because I was scared of ruining the warranty.
=================================================================

I have said f-it and I want to make the civic how I want it to be SOOOOOOOO here is what I bought! :D .. im very excited

Steering Wheel Cover
Center Console Cover
Anti-dirty Mats
Dash Cam
KTuner!!!!!!
AfterMarket Radio (Stock Android Auto sucks!)
Speaker Harness and Brackets
2 Pairs of these speakers
Panel Tools
Sound Deadening while I take off the door panels! (and other places if I have enough)
Sound Deadening Roller
Front Grill Chrome Delete

Detailing
Portable Vacuum
All Purpose Cleaner
Supreme Shine
Leather Conditioner (For the seats)
Corase Brush
Detailing Kit tools

And thats all folks! I saved up a good amount of money and spent it on the love of my life :D , Reallllly exited for EVERYTHING on this list! I can also make follow up threads on specific products if anyone wants :)

Holy smokes what a detailed and concise list! I'm impressed and appreciate this thread on the presentation alone. Do you have any int/ext pictures? I really want to see how you wired up the dash cam XD

Honestly... I love it, except for 2 things, its not as customizable as I want it (Im a Software Engineer so I LOVE having control of everything in terms of software) , then if I do honda hack to get the customizability I want, the unit is too slow...

The cherry on top is android auto, even the SLIGHTEST touch to my phone and it disconnects from the HU... I've spent over $60 on cheap and SUEPR expensive usb type-c cables and the issue still arises.
