it is been a while since I posted any updates.

Not much going on with the car anyway. Just back from the dealer:
1. Oil change
2. CVT oil change
3. Brake fluid change
4. New steering wheel installed off EX-L
5. Replaced few gaskets under warranty

New steering wheel feels so much better than LX rubber one, so much nicer to hold it and just be in the car. Need to find grey seats now and interior is pretty much done. Need to get subwoofer installed now

Not sure what I'm turning my car into lol, it is partially LX, partially EX-L, partially Sport... :D

Also need to fix leaking rear strut. But other than that car is in 100% great shape :)

Do you happen to have a part number for the steering wheel?

Replaced my corner lights with different ones, thought my current ones with a slight tint didn't match the color of the car

Replaced my 5 inch LX radio with Android HU... now replaced it with 2019 Sport Sedan 7 inch system. Opted with volume knob and from newer Civics, sound is much more clear, carplay is fast everything works like from factory :) Low quality pics, just got too excited and wanted to share :)
If you want the same upgrade , I got the harness here https://www.civicx.com/forum/thread...o-upgrade-plug-and-play-wiring-harness.64732/

new redesigned cup holder, did I need it? NO, is it good to have, SURE.
Never had any issues with my old original cup holders, but I know how good they are in my 2020 CR-V wanted those for my civic too, OEM
upgrades are awesome
OLD

Having issues with fuel filler cover, obviously mine being early model it is different from 2018+ Civics, so have to DIY it somehow to fit

Had some issues with my light sensor, AUTO lights didn't work as they were supposed to... I thought front windshield tint messed things up, but turns out it was just a bad sensor... got one used from eBay for $20 and replaced it in 1 minute, all working good now

Looking to do the Leather Shifter upgrade as well. Can you share part number and/or source? Armrests/console/lid all on order (back-ordered of course) and debating doing a leather steering wheel off eBay.

Congrats man! Only thing better than just buying an expensive car is building your car to be what you want it to be.

Hey everyone, it is been over a year now since my last update, car is still with us. No more money spending towards it as I have two more cars I'm working on (2020 CR-V and 2019 Model X)
We were about to replace it with something newer, better, with tech and safety features (as we all know 2016 LX has no tech and safety features) but we decided to keep it (for now I guess), maybe next few years.

Car now has whooping 12,000 miles on it.
Recently one rear strut started leaking, so got replacement struts I need to install. But I'm stuck at this point, leather seats sound fun and expensive if I want to sell it.

However I need inspiration... what else can be done? I'm already looking for
UR rear trunk strut,
KTuner,
intake,
"maybe" new wheels (rpf1)
some body work to fix scratches, dings, door panel ding we got back in 2016
and finally want to replace OEM head unit with something aftermarket, screen is glitching on mine, most likely because I installed the part that not suppose to be there?

Any other ideas?
