Any chance you could tell me if your EX front bumper has the fog light plastic molding? I've looked on Honda's website and it shouldn't.

Yet my EX has the molding for the fog lights and not the fin looking piece. I'd post pictures but I'm on mobile and too lazy to dig around for some.

My birthday a few weeks ago put me one tick over 50! But I will never grow up!

I have seen some rims that were blacked out on similar colored cars and they looked pretty good, but I do not even know where I could have that done or how much it would cost.

Now if someone wanted to buy my stock EX rims off of me I could certainly get me some sweet after market wheels that are blacked out, that would be sweet!

I go through cars so fast it doesn't really matter to me anymore what they look like for the most part.

I have had the Civic for 1 week and on my way to work tomorrow I will go over 1000 miles.

Yes that's 1000 miles in a week!

And it isn't abnormal for me.
you can get gloss black rims from majority of sites. Carid.com has really great rims for a fair price.

Is this what you are talking about?

Well mister Wayne I hope you're happy!

Now you have me looking at rims!

I'm checking out the Americas tires site and they have some sweet ones. At decent prices and they price match too.

I usually get my tires from the local Americas tires shops because they are everywhere in the Bay Area and Sacramento so I can get my tires rotated and balanced with little hassle, no matter where I happen to be.

I saw some TSW Mallory's that look kind of sweet, and only $170 each. There are others, I will keep looking.

I just wonder if anyone would like my stock 16's from my EX?

I'm kinda liking these! Any thought on the quality of Maxxim wheels?

Yup, exactly it. I don't if maybe it's because mine has Sensing or what. I've asked my salesman and he's looking into it.

Mine have a molding for the fog lights there - even though there are not fog lights.

Since you have sensing the drivers side will be a smooth cover.

The radar is behind it.

I saw it on the touring I saw at the Sacramento auto show.

The Maxxim rims are very nice! Although the red outline is questionable.

Ah! That makes sense! Can EX tiers get fog lights as an accessory? Just wondering since the molding is already there.

I have seen the fog lights as an accessory.

I like fog lights, but the install would require pulling the steering column apart to install the new light/turn signal switch.

I do not feel like taking that apart while it is still under warranty, the Honda ones are quite pricey too, if the dealer installed it it would be a fortune.
