Hi. I just need your opinion guys. I have a black civic hatch sport and Im planning to vinyl wrap my front grill with satin black but im not sure if it's worth doing since my grill is already gloss black. So is it better to wrap it with satin black vinyl or just stick with the gloss black and just do ceramic coating? Thanks for your replies. Really appreciate it!

Recent changes: 20mm spacers in each corner. Really looks better with the wheels flush with fenders. A nice $40 mod. Side note, I like how the factory suspension provides only a 2-finger wheel well gap. No lowering required! Another subtle mod was painting my calipers w/ a hi-temp silver paint.

Was painting the calipers easy? I want to make mine black but I have no idea what I'm doing haha

Removed the smoked taillight/headlight tint and went to the dark side.

I Love this look! Did you do this yourself or have it done professionally? If you did it yourself what product did you use?

Great looking. Specs on the setup?

What do you use on your paint to get it that slick looking? Looks like a mirror!
2 layers of ceramic coating with Cquartz sir

That looks awesome. I’m gonna have to try some of that. How often do you have to apply it?

Um, yeah. Definitely easy. Taking the wheels off was the biggest effort. Otherwise, you cover the rotor with some tape or in my case, a piece of paper and have at it. Don't worry about spraying the back of the pad or any other parts down there, especially if you're using glossy black. Won't hurt it. Piece of cake!

Once every 2-3 yrs depends on how you maintain the car. Highly recommend it if you want to reduce the cost of washing the car frequently e.g. 2 times/month

Was the Nav package worth it? I mean, with CarPlay/Android Auto, it’s pretty much a waste isn’t it
ah I like the Navigation package..in the middle display where the speed and tach is it'll let you know how how far you are from your destination and how quickly you'll need to turn and then you can have whatever you want on the infotainment and not stuck with the navigation screen...Never know when you'll lose signal on your phone too so with this it won't be a problem..but yeah CarPlay is very nice and makes the Navigation package not as important
