Looks really good! If I got a black Civic this is one of the first mods I would do. I forgot who on the forum but someone has a black on black with dark tint. This would be perfect for that.

Hey all, just got my Civic EX on Tuesday. Lease, but I want to modify it a bit. Obviously the projector headlights need HIDs... so I have two questions:

What size are the lowbeam headlights? 9004's?

Also, how easy/difficult is it to wire a subwoofer to the system? Should I have it professionally installed?

Search around. There's a thread in the DIY Forum about swapping headlight bulbs (they're H11 55w bulbs). Someone also posted a thread where they fitted a subwoofer to their trunk already.

You still have to get power from the battery to the trunk, but if you get a touring you can disconnect the existing subwoofer and route the wires to the speaker level inputs on the amp. Not sure how it would work with a non-touring.

Yeah we just used this, apparently it comes off within 3 months so I figured if I liked id put some more permanent stuff. It came out better than I thought I would also only took about an hour or less to do.

Also I'm very curious if the ex's have sub input if not I guess you would splice of the rear speakers and use a 2 line line out converter. I'm either doing this to mine or having someone professionally install it haven't decided yet.

Not a bad idea. I wish I had tried this before plastidipping somethings in the past. The blacked out Honda emblem looks really good, I'd keep it. Heck I may even do this with my Accord.

Finally got my car back from the dealer this morning. Got a chance to install all the goodies I had gotten it while it was gone. Boardway convex blue tint rearview mirror, led lights for map dome and trunk lights, put on plates and add tree frog black squash fragrance. Unfortunately I missed my tint appointment so ill have to reschedule that. Been thinking of getting the roof wrap and black out the chrome but not sure if i should or not.
Squash fragrance is the best! Best mod yet ;)

What % tint? Black out the chrome it'll look great on white car, and with a black roof the car will look even lower and sportier. Get as glossy vinyl as possible for the roof though so it looks like glass.

Defiantly the most useful so far as well lol I love how its strong but isn't over kill. I'm thinking 25% in front and 10-5% in the back. For the roof definitely going to be the glossyest of vinyl I can get luckily there seems to be a lot of shops that do it down here so I can compare the vinyl

25% will look great. 10-5% is pretty dark for the back will you be able to see when backing up at night? Or you thinking you'll just rely on the backup camera?

I ordered a kit from Ebay that contains the proper LED's for the interior lights, license plate lights and trunk lights, 14.99 for all the bulbs in a pack, free shipping.
I also hit 41mpg today and I only have 271 miles :)
