Honda Civic Member's RidesHonda Civic Member's Rides - Want to show off your Honda Civic mods? Need help deciding what Civic part, mod, or even what version Honda Civic to buy? Anything and everything about your very own Honda Civic member's ride goes here.
Here's what I've got after sleeping on it a little.
LED's are too flashy, not what I'm going for.
Headliner would be nice but wouldn't really add enough value to be worth it, imo.
Trim panels will be redone, I dono if I can get them painted for a flat, no gloss brushed aluminum look or if I have to get a trim kit. Also not sure if I'd rather repaint them in the same color. FYI, that color is SSM.
As for the rear seats and door panels, I may just suck it up and use what I have. It is a few shades darker but at a glance, the difference for the back seats prolly won't be noticeable and the door panels will only be seen when the doors are open, so nobody will probably really notice anyways.
I am prolly gonna have a shift boot made from the remnants of the black fabric with some red stitching and use what's left to do my trunk setup.
And for gauges, I have 4 and nowhere else to put them....

Can you controllably fade the fabric? UV lights or some kind of a dye removal wash? There's gotta be something that can be done to it so it gets closer.
i don't think that the differences in the fabric are going to be noticeable to most people. plus if you use the darker fabric throughout the car, it is going to look fine. you could buy more of the darker fabric and one day get the silver on the seats switched to the darker shade, just my .02.
How do you like the Avic-D3? I'm looking to get one...
Do you have XM or anything? i want to know if the AVIC will delete my XM player and make everything functional through the D3, instead of having my HU and my XM player inside my car... takes up space if you ask me. But let me know, the pros... i know the only cons i have heard so far was that you can't play CD's/DVD's while having Navi in use since navi is a DVD.
And if you're wondering about the ARC knob, i have one and i absolutely love it... it's REALLY small, so i moved my boot down so it's just the Shifter and then the knob... Since the knob is so small, my hands were touching the boot and it was very uncomfortable. How my knob was before:
The AVIC D3 is awesome. No pros in my book. Yes, it will control xm or sirius as long as you have the antenna for it, I believe. I don't use it, I just use my 80 gig ipod and the ipod control is phenomenal, it even allows video playback. Sure you can use navi and watch a dvd. You just have to have the navi disc in when you're mapping the route. Once you do, it'll save it and you can then put in a dvd if you want.
For the knob, those are before pics? I haven't looked that closely at the boot, how did you get rid of the ring at the top of it? How does it look now? What did you change since the pics?
It's a threaded shift boot collar for RSX's... you can get it from www.strutking.com I don't have after pics YET, i can see if i can get some later tonight when i get home from work. But basically i took off that collar, therefore the boot just falls down and shows the actualy shifter... i have a buddy club SS, and it's BLACK... so what i did, was i ziptied the boot towards the bottom of this shifter so it shows the actual shifter... Kind of similar to this:
I also have the Pedals from www.strutking.com too, i know you're looking for Ideas, so i thought i would throw these out too... i love them btw, definately makes the interior stand out.
Also, How well can you see the AVIC-D3 during the day... since honda was gay and they added that little tilt to it.

i like that boot adapter they have on there, but 16 bucks for a threaded chunk of aluminum?
