I did upgrade the stereo in it, gave that to him. Car also had tint, Honda OEM rubber mats, body side molding. Changed out the interior lights and headlights to LEDs. So technically, I lost more money on the car. Nothing like what I lost on the Vette....

$2k. Had 10k miles on it. My friend really just offered me the highest KBB private party value for it.

It's great. Just drove it to Cali from OKC and it was awesome. Just a nice, quiet, comfortable ride. Loved it. And what was unexpected was the gas mileage. I know it's a turbo 4. But it's heavy and AWD and I was driving fast through the middle of the country (90+ a decent amount of the way). I...

Really liked the car, but I just sold it to a friend. Sold my Vette for a 2017 E300 4Matic, was going to leave the Civic with my parents but they like there old Odyssey van, so I sold it. I'd buy it again, or more than likely, the next gen Accord. My friend is enjoying it a lot though.

My EX-L got a chip that spidered out to just over a half dollar size a month ago. Got it repaired at Safelite for $40. You can still see it, but a lot less noticeable than before. Come to think of it, every Honda/Acura car I've owned had windshield replacements due to cracks (2002 Civic EX...

Just did my first oil change this week, 15% 7500 miles. Once it got really hot here in Oklahoma, that oil life dropped fast.

That JD Powers Initial Quality study is utter garbage. They basically rank the cars on how many "problems" they've had in the first 90 days of ownership. Even though 90 days isn't a long time, the biggest issue is what JD Powers considers a problem, "I can't connect my phone to the car via...

1. 1992 Mazda 929 - My Dad's car, hated that piece of crap 2. 2002 Honda Civic EX Coupe - It was brand new, I was in college and I loved it. 3. 2005 Honda Accord EX Sedan - Was my Dad's, he bought a 2007 Odyssey so he traded cars with me, I gave him the Civic to trade towards the van and I got...

Kicker. The amp is also Kicker and the speakers I installed are from AudioFrog. The sub is the Kicker L7QB8, http://www.kicker.com/L7QB8_subwoofer_enclosure Its pretty awesome, sounds great and can get downright loud.

Here is my install: I had to remove the trunk cargo tray because the sub has a bracket that is screwed to the bottom of the trunk floor and the sub is mounted to that. I use the passthrough more so the sub location is perfect for me. My new problem is rattles. I need to deaden the...

Call me old fashioned, but I like a good old volume knob. The touch sensitive buttons in the civic get annoying if you accidentally slide your finger. I disabled the touch function on the steering wheel volume control and basically use that for volume only.

Honestly, I can't compare them. I never was a Kicker fan, always regarded them to be an SPL company and laughed at the idea of a square woofer. My friend geared me towards the IQ line with that amp since it has a 31 band EQ per channel and fully adjustable crossovers and time alignment built...

I didn't baby the Vette, and I didn't baby the Civic. I just drive my cars, I have never bothered with break in procedures.

If you've seen the products I've used in the past on installs, you'd know this is pretty "light" for me, lol. Thanks though, I was trying to make it a clean install that sounds great. Probably right about Panasonic making the speakers, they make the ELS system for Acura, probably make the...

Finally got it all installed. Here is a shot of the amp (I might build a cover to hide all the wiring, but its up high and can't be seen when standing in front of the trunk): Here is a shot of the of sub, fits perfectly in the corner and leaves me a lot of trunk space: Everything sounds...

Here are a couple pics I snapped of the progress. Unfortunately I didn't take a pic of the 6.5" installed in the door, but if I have to remove one of the door panels for any reason, I will take one. Here is the tweeter installed: Here are a couple of the amp being test fitted: And here...

Slowly but surely, its getting there. I'm working on it a little everyday. So far I got the front doors dynamated, speakers installed, new speaker wires ran to the speakers in the doors. Going to dynamat the trunk a little, mount the amp (found a cool solution for that, I'll take a pic of it...

I bought the Ultimats for the Vette, they are plenty thick and seem to be holding up well (the Luxe are the thickest ones). I have roughly 8k miles on mine, was daily driving the Vette until I bought the Civic. They do embroidery, but don't seem to have the licensing to do Honda emblems. I'm...

I have Lloyds Mats in my Corvette, they are fantastic. I am considering getting some for my Civic as well.

I liked the ELS in my 2012 TL. I had an Accord before what which I put a system in and when I got the TL, I was quite happy with the ELS system in it. It was good enough for me that I didn't want to replace it. The stereos in my BMW 5 Series and Corvette are not as good as that TL's ELS...
