Agreed ^
It looks great now, but I just know my beautiful shiny grille trim is gonna be scratched and dinged before I even get to 5k miles :(

Also, I ABSOLUTELY HATE that the passenger seat belt slaps against the hollow trim panel next to it when any of my windows are down on the freeway. Has anyone come up with a solution for this?
Many of us have slipped the lower portion of the passenger belt into the small gap between the recline lever on that seat. Seems to have worked.

Map lights don't go on when door opens
You sure the switch is set correctly? Mine come on normally... on the Si it's a little switch up by the sunroof switch, not sure on the Sport.

I'm seeing a lot of people mention paint chips. This kinda scares me as I'm buying a 2019/2020 Civic in the next few days.

I wouldn't let that scare you off. Seems like most economy cars anymore have pretty weak paint. If you want to keep it looking pristine, you could always get paint protection film installed.

I'm actually contemplating getting it ceramic coated within the first 6 months of having it. I also park in a parking garage, at work, 9 hours per day, 4 days per week. Thinking that should definitely help.

Ceramic coat won't do much to help prevent paint chips unfortunately. PPF can be DIY if you're into that sort of thing.

Yeah, just passing along the advice I’ve received from others on these boards. So many tips & tricks.

Wow, I never had a car that doesn't have a map lights switch which turns the reaction to open door on and off.

Map lights on LX sedan don't switch with opening of doors. Cost savings here and there. Of course I'm happy not to have a moon roof so it's not a bad trade-off. Moon roofs are worthless. Lose headroom. Noisier than a metal roof. Etc.

I agree about the moonroofs. Problem is Honda doesn't offer separate option items. I wanted a power seat therefore had to get a certain trim level which included the moonroof. I end up paying more & getting less room. Apparently Honda thinks everyone is short & doesn't need the headroom.

I love the sunroof/moonroof, and as a taller person it doesn't bother me at all, other than the rattles. And if I had to wear a helmet for anything I probably wouldn't fit...
