Anybody can buy a body kit or upgrade wheels to "customize" their car. I'm wondering what you guys have done that is not just a buy-it modification. For example...

-I have a Civic Si. From the factory, the lettering in the dash "Si" was not lit. I took the dash apart and removed material from behind the lettering to allow the dash lighting to show through. Now it glows subtly
-A security EXPLOIT of Civics is that you can reach into the front fender well, pull back the fender liner, and pull on the hood-release cable to pop the hood. I re-routed the hood release cable into the engine bay to solve that.

Customized features I plan to add to the G...
-Wire a new lighter socket behind the dash. Then, plug in and run a wire to discreetly power my cell phone.
-Attach a piece of clear, protective 3M "clear bra" material to the gas cover, so I don't have to worry about scratching it if I want to wipe my finger prints off after filling.
-Backup camera wired into the Nav screen.
-Cut and install a very thick piece of carpet for the passenger flooring, to make my date's ride more comfortable.
-Tough one => Switch the sequence of the headlight switch. It currently goes Off->Auto->Parking->Low. I want to switch two of the contacts, so that it will operate Off->Parking->Auto->Low. I'm not sure if I can even do it, but it's an idea.

What "real" custom stuff have you done, or plan to do?

 

Fixed for truth.

Oh I have a few custom things in my car.. like my Custom install of my Laser Jammer and Redline Escort, or my Custom Smoke Screen install for my james bond getaways... Heck I even have a few smoke grenades in my glove box.... Im not even joking...

 

I almost bought this full custom made exhaust....

 

I have a custom short in my electrical system, which makes my door lights blink like its a rave in 1996.

 

Thank You. Yes, that was an oversight on my part

 

i live my life a quarter mile at a time.

 

i have a custom a/c system that turns on whenever it wants to and i cant turn it off

 

There's "Real Customs" you just need to know where to look! Example: anything that rolls out of Auto Explosion Auto Body here in SoCal. I was lucky enough to see one last night, the member renamed his coupe Blue Waffle, she's flipin beautiful!

^^^^^^^^ car is sexy. I'm not extremely fond of how big the duck bill on the rear is, but its absolutely flawless work.

 

+1 on the wing & body work.

 

Ah-some dood!!

I agree. I'm not big on spoilers. Luckily, I found a 6MT without it. The 06-07 spoilers aren't that bad though.

 

I want one, SLICK needs one, we've flown the ironing board long enough....

Bought new 03 door pull handle covers and clear bra them so they wont scratch.

 

I go in and out on it. I truly do. There was 1 other g on here that did a custom spoiler that I know of conrador did one that was good. Honestly I like it but from some angles it looks to big. In person it may be a completely different story. The fact that it has the carbon fiber on it I love that touch. Flawless work on it. I am not saying that. It's totally different, I respect that to each their own. It is at least making the g still look good rather than a flipping gtr spoiler or some of the other ones I've seen.
