Looks good. That dark interior makes it look even darker. Are you going to tint the front windows in the future...helps to avoid that tanned left arm from driving...lol

Make sure to let it bake in the sun as much as possible the first week.

Thanks for the advice Cosmic! I have her sitting out in the driveway for a couple hours now. I don't see any bubbles so far so good, but I did see some lines which the shop owner pointed out. He said those should go away in a few days. Giving it a few days before I even think about cleaning them. Should I use regular Windex or is there a special product for ceramic tints? Thanks.

Don't use Windex, or "anything blue" according to the internet; Ammonia is what gives it the blue colour, and those will ruin your tints quickly.

Most glass cleaners will say "tint safe" or something to those lines.

Got the car yesterday. Today I did the Door visors, splash guards, All season Mats and red H on the steering wheel. Tomorrow 55w 6000k HID kit or LED kit. I ordered both so we'll see what I like better! Next week...tinted windows, vinyl over the chrome grill.

20% Solar Guard window tint

Door scuff plates from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Ste...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
(need to let them air out a day or two to get rid of the smell before installing). They come with the 3M tape strips on the back so they're super easy to put on.

Honda steering wheel cover ($14) and sunshade ($14.99) from Walmart. The white sunshade looks good with my white car.

Installed my non-illuminated

door sill protectors, peel the blue protectors off and there we go.

Where did you get those? I ended up getting the ones off Amazon. They'll do for now.

Your scuff plates are for the 9th gen. In have a 14 Civic and the sill is a little deeper. Have you tried the scuff plates to ensure it doesn't overhang?

Don't use Windex. I use ammonia free foam spray. Don't roll down your windows for up to 5 days. It can take up to 2 weeks for the tint and adhesive to cure. I drove my 14 Civic the week after I got my tint since i park in a garage in the office and wouldn't get any sun. I park in the area with most sun exposure where I go to maximize the cure time.

I don't dare to debadge my car, afraid will leave those glue mark on it. Instead I pretty like our forum logo. Wonder if is possible to get the red "x" into a metal emblem badge... Lol

We have a thread where we made the logo into a decal. Not metal though but I think @Menissalt might be able to get this done.

Yeah, the pic I posted is with them installed. They fit ok. The listing said for up to 2016 so I figured I'd give them a try and return if they didn't work. So far so good.

Sorry. Technical difficulties, but here's what I had done today. Before and after shots. Solar Gard ceramic 20% rear window and back screen.

Looking good!

Not bad looking yourself! Great looking car! Almost twins. You have the ivory interior which was my original choice, but after a test drive in one w/ black interior, I changed my mind. It was also very hard to find one nearby, and I was gonna be without a car. My Subaru lease was coming up in two weeks.

Had a chance to add my door sills and license plate frame today.
