What is your favorite mod you've done?

[turbo_snail]

What is your one favorite, interior, exterior under-the-hood, old or new, and all other mods on your completed list, that you have? You can brag about something people don't normally see right away, so lets hear it!

Since I have only owned my Civic for a few days now and am still looking for my first add ons, my favorite thing is the color. I was deciding between a Kia Forte and the Civic. Both are extremely nice cars performance wise and very similar, so it came down to pure looks and aesthetic, and the color and after market potential is what really sold me for the Civic.

Si rear sway bar
Sport hatch 18’s and 235 tires

wow you have some good stuff! I'd like to get some different tires, way down the line though, but someday.
That KTuner looks real cool to monitor things and get some performance points so to say, but I don't know if I would really utilize it much. That's very cool though so as I learn about my own car, maybe I will get into that sometime down the road.
Are you using that Ktuner to monitor more or for more of the performance boots? Or both I guess?

Ktuner hands down

I haven’t hooked the computer up since I pushed the tune.
Mostly I just enjoy the improved power and throttle response the tune gives.

I've done very little mods, none for performance, all just cosmetic. My favourite is upgrading the exterior lighting. I changed out the brake, backup, and rear turn signal bulbs for LEDs - for brighter and instant on illumination. As I have a Sport Touring, the front headlight assemblies are already all LED. Also dropped in yellow fog lights, and OEM clear side markers with yellow bulbs.

Oooh nice that's on my list too! Where did you get your set from?

Ok, that works! I was hoping it could be a little punchier like some of the other cars I was test driving before finally deciding on the civic, so I will look into that for the future!

The one performance mod you can get that will transform your car more than anything else is a tune. Even with a completely stock 1.5T, you can see big gains in driveability and 0-60 times. A tune and good tires is a simple, fantastic plan for upgrading your car.

In order, 1st is what i like most;
Muffler delete
Black wheels
Whiteline RSB + Sirimoto FSTB
Tint
Husky all weather mats, huge for the midwestern winters
Chrome delete
Grille + side markers
Some of my gray trim/fascia pieces were fading so i repainted them gloss black

The sound is what’s going to keep me with this car, the engine sounds great with some added power and no/less sound restriction

What he said.
Absolute game changer in drivability improvement.

I got the parts from all over, including pilfering them from my previous Acura TSX, which uses some of the same bulb types. Amazon is a good place to source out parts, as long as you know the bulb types, but read the reviews. There are equally good and equally bad parts on there.

Favorite thing is by FAR the APR GTC-300 wing I slapped on a few months ago. Maximum rice, 100% racecar now.

I'm not sure if my favorite bolt on really counts... I got a 3" catback thinking it would sound fantastic but really left something to be desired. I threw in the Afe catted downpipe and it sounds so good now I'm constantly on it to hear the exhaust ?

I like my ktuner and rv6 downpipe on my 2.0L CVT
Makes it more of a fun economy car lol

Besides this and new muffler, k&n drop-in filter, Hondahack w/ Tunerview, I haven't done anything else to my car. I do have 17 inch rims and new tires now. The rest is cosmetic. For cosmetic, I like that I did a chrome delete. Not a big fan of chrome lol Also got rain guards, partially tinted tail lights, LED headlights and lasfit floormats. I had a problem ordering random stuff for my car for a good month once lol I can say im completely done with everything I really want to do with this car.

Nice work there! I will say with all the aggressive exterior work I plan on doing the next few weeks, it just seems strange to me that there will be no aggressive sounds to it since I don't want to mess with the engine too much as it's brand new for me. After the warranty is gone, I will look into that for sound adjustment!
