2017 Honda Civic LX

I recently picked up a used 2017 LX and while the interior was in pretty good shape but, the armrests and center console were hideous looking, not to mention they just didn't feel nice. After looking into OEM replacements (expensive) I decided to recover them myself. Picked up a 60" x 36" piece of black vinyl/leather looking material and a pint of contact cement all for about 15.00 bucks and spent half a day stripping the old and installing the new. It looked so good I went ahead and did the rear armrests too even though they were in good shape. I have enough material that I will probably go on to do the inner section of the door panels which; on the LX are just plastic.

Dang I wish I had the skills... might have to try anyway. That has to be one of the best mods for the money I've seen!

Installed Mugen Hydrophillic exterior mirror glasses.

Relatively easy install and excellent results in reducing glare, especially driving at night. Also has the built in feature of LED indicators which are only compatible with UK/Euro spec vehicles. However I have seen threads on here showing how to retro fit the Euro spec mirror indicators to US and Canadian spec vehicles.

Thanks hicompb18c1, I took more pictures maybe I will post more detail in the DIY section if there is any interest

If I have understood correctly yours were fabric and changed them to leather or synthetic leather? In any case could you send us the link of your buy? Thanks in advance.

And of course I am interested to see details!!!
