Post your "Quality of Life" upgrades/modifications here

I am really thinking about those led lights.

For the fog's, how difficult is the access?

its not too bad. i put my car on the lift in the shop which made it much easier. however even without, there are 3 clips and 2 10mm bolts on each side of the plastic liner that covers fog light access. took me about 20 minutes to do both sides. it was a little bit of a pain to line the bolts back up at first because there are 2 layers of plastic to line up before the bolt will line up with the threads. not bad tho.

edit - also jakabony's idea was better,lol didn't realize you could access them thru the fender liners, i went thru the bottom since it was on the lift.

I did tints, hids, led fogs, subs. Catless downpipe but i hate the sound, ktuner with stage 2 vit tune but i must say my favorite is the rev hang delete. Sometimes i forget to turn cruise control off after coming off the highway and it is a huge difference. Rev hang makes it seem like you're just learning to drive stick.

To add on the list is cupholder heroes. Definitely makes life easier when it keeps the condensation off the bottom of the cup holders onto the heroes rubber mats.

First "quality-of-life" upgrade I did was to install an auto-dimming rear view mirror. Then Maxpider 3d floor mats, although I would get Findway mats instead now. Last but not least, a Garant scratch-free snow 'brush!'

I have cup holder/storage compartment liners, OEM Splash Guards, Honda all weather mats, window tint, trunk liner. The only thing I hate about the trunk liner is...everything slides around...a LOT...

LED low beams, HFP red mats and oem wheels locks. Thinking about a Moddiction anvil 2 shift knob but I'm liking the stock knob more than I thought.

Done currently:
Screen protector
Broadway Mirror 400 IIRC
Phone mount - windshield for now
Cup and door compartment liners black and red
Tint was done as part of the original purchase dealer they paid to have it done it's 20% all around
LED interior lights
LED reverse lights - will be replacing as he Phillips bulbs I use do not have a rear projection, just the side's that reflect in the housing, they are brighter than stock but not what I wanted, will be returning this evening and ordering replacements that have 360 light and rear facing projector tips.

Items ordered and enroute:
80 mil sound deadener 36 sqft - doing under rear seats and trunk first, then probably doors with the first shipment
55w HID kit for low beams
6k LED's for Fogs
RallyArmour Universal Black and Red Mudflaps - drive around 3k a month so need these and wanted the most coverage without looking tacky

Ordering next few months:
LED's for High beams - still haven't selected brand yet
Lamin-X clear covers for Fogs and headlights
Front bra/coverage - haven't decided if black material or clear adhesive type but getting rock chips quickly these days.
Weighted shift knob - Prefer "down low, or sunk" for shorter throws and delrin or Poly because Florida Heat and metal Si Knob no bueno
Rear window diffuser/spoiler - to break up how the water runs down the back window and eventually rear area - alot of road miles and can't stand how the water/dirt settles.
Engine bay/leaf covers - Will buy the full set ~ $55 and put sound deadner on them - this affects my driving more than you would understand due to the mileage I drive

Spray on wheel well liner coating, noise reduction spray, will use on the underside of all of the plastic's under the car as well as alot of road noise comes from my plastic's moving up and down at 80-85mpg which I drive ~110 miles a day.

Looking at this I have to laugh, doing all of this prior to the first "performance" mod being done - damn I'm getting old The good thing is the sound deadening will positively affect when I add my sub, and after Downpipe/Tune/Exhaust mods will make it more bearable and wife probably won't even notice lol.

I have made these mods:

Exterior:

• clear side markers (EASY. Depend on the color of your civic, so it's hard to say recommended or not)
  
• LED headlights (EASY)

Interior

• interior lights: map lights, dome lights, etc. (EASY. Recommended)
  
• customize a trunk carpet (I basically bought a large carpet and it fits greatly well. Recommended) (MED because it can cause a lot of mess. However, you can also clean it up easily)
  
• door and console armrest leather cover (MED because you have to remove the whole door panel in order to install the door armrest cover. Also you have to pry out the plastics on the center console. Recommended)
  
• Headunit (Mine is LX trim, so I bought an aftermarket head unit. I lost the steering wheel control function and auto dimmer. Not recommended. So DON'T BUY LX trim)
  
• solar powered light in the trunk. I think the light in the trunk is so dim, and I don't want to wire all the way to the back, so I bought this. (EASY. Recommended)
• Seat covers. I bought from aliexpress from Chian, and I still don't know how to install it (//sad face)
• steering wheel leather cover. I am talking about the one which you stitch it by yourself. Totally worth it.
