2016 Honda Civic EX Sedan
Hey everyone. I've been lurking on the forums for about a month now and just got my hands on a slightly used 2016 Honda Civic EX with only 2,800 miles.
This car literally sat in a garage for almost a year and still has the new car smell.
I came from a 2007 Infiniti M35 which started to develop engine/overheating issues so it was time to let it go.
It was either a civic or a prius and I'm super stoked to have picked a civic as a commuter car.

Over the past week, I've done the following:
30% tint all around
Washed and applied Griots Paint Sealant
Installed splash guards
Installed 55w DDM Plus HID's with 5500K bulbs with a relay
Converted all bulbs to LED
Installed Ikon Motorsports visors
Installed a Fosgate AMP/Sub

Today, I just received and installed front and rear Coverking Spacer Mesh Seat Covers to match the interior.

Thanks to everyone who posted their "how-to's", tips, tricks and opinions, especially the amp/subwoofer installation instructions.

Today I installed the Boomba rear motor mount. Having been warned about the vibrations I thought "How bad could it be?"

annnnnndddd? LOL
Having owned a car with poly mounts all around and coilovers I thought I felt like I had a pretty high tolerance. The NVH with the new mount is pretty intense. It had 80 miles on it when I put it in and I drove it for maybe 15 tonight. The manufacturer states the break in period is 1000-1500 miles. Not sure I can be that patient with it. We'll see. There is often a trade off between comfort and performance. A little more comfort is one of the reasons I bought a Civic to begin with, this mod may prove to be a bit much for what I am looking for.

I was thinking of getting it, does it make a big difference?

So is it cheaper with amazon than directly with their website? I've been watching their videos and I see they have good stuff, they're on my list for my next shopping spree.
