I cannot overstate the seriousness of a protective layer (not ceramic coating) as the paint is fuarking thin.

I would say invest some cheap lip splitter as well as the likes of Honda own front bumper garnish
that is the most easy to scratch up

Dashcams would be a necessity nowadays

with a brand new car, apply mirror coating like Soft99 Ultra glaco

some fragrance for your brand new car perhaps?

oh, when you get the car, check for the tyre pressure
as they usually over inflate them

So far in my knowledge and research it's the cheapest forged rims that has also included designed for fk8. Ya like mcchin mentioned USD 500 range per rim.

coupled with shipment

not gonna be much cheaper

Anyone interested in PREMIUM LED Brake light bulb and turn signal LED bulb?
I have

Philips X-Etreme Ultinon RED LED T20 - for brake light

SIRIUSLED RLS AMBER LED T20 with Built in Resistor Anti Hyper flashing LED Bulb Turn Signal Light Error Free - for turn signal light.

THESE ARE PREMIUM LED

All plug and play.

has anyone heard back from honda after filling in the defect online form?

anyone here noticed the front and back sensor a bit delay?

for example when a bike pass by closer to the car, the sensor only make sound when bike already quite far ahead. really stupid

how much is the bar? i can feel body roll when taking corner in high speed. my old civic fd even more stable without the bar

Off coz there is some delay, for me especially the front.. back sensor is OK..
But not an issue for me, front sensor annoy me especially at traffic light where motocycle surround u.. if wait too long, i just off the sensor

ok so not only my car issue. i'm pointing this out since I experience better front sensor with my other car

yup my front sensor have delay for sure. but the back sensor i think cant feel delay?
If you think got synchronization issue with your sensor, maybe can try reset it?. I remember i saw the instruction somewhere (cant remember )

Honda probably programmed a delay since whenever a bike pass by it will beep. Considering the irritation even with delay, its going to be extra irritating if there's no delay.The problem is when I park the car, the front sensor will activate/beep after a delay hence need wait till the beep appear then continue moving the car forward (only if you rely on the below . I'm not sure what is the best solution for front sensor, maybe give us the Disable Button for the Front sensor only?

I first thought to use Disable Sensor button but unfortunately its meant for both front and back sensor. Abit dangerous for me since i like to reverse park with my back sensor and i tend to forget i disabled the sensors. I think to disable the front sensor only, would need to follow a few steps to program the sensor (cant remember the step).

The sensors are not for detecting bike passing by, and bike zoom by, ofcoz the sensor delay. I'm impressed the sensor still can detect when bike zoom by.

Those sensors are for detecting object near to your car for your parking ease. Not for detecting moving objects.

I noticed new facelift civic feels lighter than the old one

Also, the roll at cornering feels more. I drove my friend's pre facelift civic fc and it feels more stable

any dash cam to recommend? i wish the wires of the dashcam to be hidden

where to get HU screen protecotr? i do not know how to install though

sensor supposed to detect anything in the sensor range and must be real time at least near real time

the delay really significant, if there's something infront confirm hit first before sensor making sound

try ride other car with front sensor and see what i'm talking about. even my 2013 e200 sensor also realtime.. paid 100k ++ car got sensor from stone-age

Down to your budget vs requirement

Basic dashcams is those that record while the car is driven
(Simply said, need to be powered by the 12v port)

Higher dashcam can connect to battery but requires sentry mode
Where the unit powered down when no movement is detected in it's field of vision

This will ensure no battery draining till empty


You want it to be hidden, like unit itself or the cables?
Cable is easy as long as it's long enuff

Unit hidden... Well depends on which brand/model/ type you select
Some is sleek and stick up to the windscreen away from your fov
I chosen yi youth cam for front and 70mai for the rear

Front with yi youth cam can act as clock when in use
And the rear 70mai is quite discrete

All wires are tucked into the a pillar, headliners for the rear and routed behind the glove box (don't remove the glovebox dampeners, a bitch to put it back)
So there is no wires to be seen or dangling

As for the screen protector, the idea is to stick from 1 side to the other
This will ensure that there is no gas trapped between the screen and the protector
Clean hands, still air inside the car will ensure the dusting to the minimum

So move at slow pace, don't turn on the car and aircon
And wait a bit for the dust to settle down
Would recommend stick from top push down to bottom

Havent try pre-facelift before. Yes I do feel that FL Civic suspension is too soft.

What car were you driving before this?

I don't own any of the high performance cars before... so basically the pre FL Civic suspension actually felt pretty good, and ride is planted.

Honda City

the FL Civic suspension less firm than Honda City? My wife drives a 2014 GM6, and uhh its not even comparable.
